Materials: Mesh Lacrosse Head (2) 25'' crosslace Pre-stretching of the mesh is especially important for an easy, no hassle string job.
For hard mesh, it is recommended that the mesh be soaked in warm water and hair conditioner or shaving cream.
1.
) Take the mesh and fold the top over 2-3 rows.
For the purpose of this guide, you should have 10 holes across the top.
2) The first step in stringing a lacrosse stick is to attach the mesh to the scoop of the head.
To start, tie a figure 8 knot on one end of the lace and pull the other end thorough the first sidewall hole.
The lace should be pulled through the folded mesh so the string comes from underneath the mesh.
3) Once through the first mesh diamond bring the lace back over the sidewall rail illustrated by the white arrow and insert in the 2nd sidewall hole.
One through the second sidewall hole, bring the lace through the 1st mesh diamond for a second time from underneath.
4.
) The first mesh diamond is anchored to the side of the lacrosse head with the lace now through the mesh hole in position to now attach the rest of the mesh to the scoop.
5) Now its time to attach the mesh to the scoop holes.
Take the position of the lace and push it through the 2nd mesh hole, bringing the lace underneath the scoop and pulling it though the 1st large scoop hole.
6) Pull the lace from the scoop hole (Pink) and bring it under the previous segment of lace (Red) so that it resembles Figure 6, making sure that the string is as tight as possible.
7.
) Continue to now bring the lace over the backside of the mesh and push it through the 4th mesh diamond.
Bring the lace under the scoop and pull it through the 2nd scoop hole.
Pull the lace from the scoop hole and bring it under the previous segment of lace, making sure that the string is as tight as possible.
8.
) Continue to bring the mesh through the 7th mesh hole underneath through the 3rd large scoop hole and then under the previous segment of lace.
Pull tight.
9.
) Continue to bring the mesh through the 9th mesh hole underneath through the 4th large scoop hole and under the previous segment of lace.
Pull tight.
10) Push the lace (Neon Green) through the last mesh diamond and through the 1st sidewall hole..
Once through tie a knot at the end.
The first part of the topstring is complete.
Be sure that all the lace segments are tight for a consistent pocket.
Now if you wish you may add a second string across the top for an added measure of durability.
However if you choose not too, you must anchor the last mesh hole to the sidewall.
Making a knot at the end of the second lace, push the lace through the 2nd sidewall hole and up though the 1st mesh diamond.
As illustrated by the white arrow, bring the lace over the sidewall and through the 2nd sidewall wall and up through the first mesh hole again.
11) Now that the second string has anchored the mesh to the sidewall hole, use the extra lace as an added reinforcement by doing steps 4-10 from the left.
Push the lace (Orange) though the 2nd mesh hole and under through the 1st scoop hole.
Then bring the lace (Purple) under the previous segment of lace.
12) Continue by pushing the lace (Yellow) though the 5th mesh hole and under through the 2nd scoop hole.
Then bring the lace (Blue) under the lace colored in yellow.
13) Continue 14) Continue 15) Finally pull the lace through the 10th mesh diamond and knot it through the sidewall hole.
