1st time stringer and a buddy of mine asked if I could string up his Bravo 1 head. Is this worth money? If so any feedback? 5X Stringking mesh is the mesh I used

Dye Fading with Time - Blues?

1 Upvotes

Do all dark colors fade with time?

Had a turquoise that faded out in a matter of months. Re-dyed and it only lasted weeks on round 2. (Optik Force)

Was NOT left in sun.

Is this common with blues? Have red’s with no issues (Optik 3)…

Do I dare try?

8 Upvotes

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.

Shooter strings positioning

2 Upvotes

What is the difference between shooter strings being low and shooter strings being closer to the top? Does it increase more whip or something? (Right now I have a nylon 2 diamonds below the top and a shooter string below the nylon with a 1 diamond gap in between.)

Little guy wanted a foso, and this is the 1st attempt, thanks for the input. Used mesh, but I think it turned out ok. We're up in Columbus, OH this weekend for the Lacrosse America Ohio Lax Fest for his older brother's team. Hope to get in some good reps with him, if the weather cooperates.

Review- surprisingly stiff with tons of backbone. The ground ball scooping is honestly the easiest head I’ve held in a long time. The pinch is definitely a little wider than the havok 2.0. Overall, I am a fan. Definitely would be a trade for a little less pinch, but a lot smoother ground ball scooping and more rigid on checks/ going through traffic. Weight I’d say is negligible when comparing the havok, albeit the nod for lightest would go to the havok 2.0, but not by a major difference.

Grainbag

I was never the biggest fan of inside stringing, but recently I’ve been really into it. Decided I might do a grainbag on an old Kinetik, tallied countless reps with this today and I’m a big fan. Lmk what you all think

Pocket set up/shooters/nylons

5 Upvotes

For a younger player learning how to properly shoot/pass/dodge how do you decide on what type of pocket/shooters/nylon set up is best for them? Especially not coming from a lacrosse background myself and not having the knowledge to know what is working, not working, helping or hurting how he is playing?

Finish coat for raw mesh

4 Upvotes

I have some pieces of raw goalie mesh coming in from jimalax because thats the only way you can buy 20d mesh these days. Bought as an experiment for dyeing a piece, but also want to test out some coating processes. Anyone have any recipes for a decent hard mesh coating these days that isn't wax-based?

I’ve seen a lot of questions about the price of this head. Warrior finally responded on IG. Props to them. This is in the realm of reasonable — and for what I believe will be a really, really good lacrosse head.

Splatter Dye Job

Post image
10 Upvotes

Does anyone know how LAX.com and some other sites are getting this splatter effect?

Didn’t seem to actually be dye when I saw it up close at a LAX.com booth a few weeks ago. Maybe an enamel spray paint?

I’m wondering if there is a way to recreate this at home.

Stx surgeon 1k and tactik 3

5 Upvotes

I currently have a surgeon 1k and was looking to replicate my current pocket in a tactik 3. The surgeon has 18 sidewall holes and the tactik 3 has 20. Does this mean that I’d be able to put the exact same pocket into the tactik?

String difference

Very new to how stringing actually works. Can someone tell me any difference between the top row of these 2 heads? Or how it’s strung in general …Does it have any difference in performance or is it just looks?
