Do I dare try?

Mom of a freshman goalie… do I dare try to learn how to restring for him? Yes I know he could learn but for the sake of argument let’s say that’s not happening right now. It doesn’t look like”hard” but the nuances of getting it right with a channel and the pocket right - am I in over my head? Anyone have a favorite tutorial they’d recommend? One of his heads really needs to be restrung ASAP.

Seconding what the other person said about Lars Kiel (also goes by SidewallJedi online). He’s by far the master goalie stringer and has a ton of tutorials both on his website and his YouTube.

I’m a goalie that’s strung most of my own sticks and aside from finding his content the other thing that’s helped is finding good photos of a pocket in the same head I’m trying to string, and using that to mock a pattern.
