We are in the heat of the 2017 lacrosse season right now, but it is never too early to be thinking about how to improve your game in the off-season. With the rise of summer tournaments and travel teams, lacrosse players around the country will likely be hitting the road for a grueling summer season. But,…
What is up, guys! Neil here for Cardinal Lacrosse. Back with another entry for LACROSSE.COM’s Stringer Stories. As the summer winds to its end and the fall season is upon us, I figured I would string up something special for fall ball. For me, fall ball sticks are about two things. First, the newest and…
Hey guys this is Sam here with another entry in the LACROSSE.COM Stringer Stories series. For a little background on me, I started stringing sticks at the age of 13 and I am 22 now. I have always been a fan of matching the color of stringing and head with my teams colors. I have…
Hey guys, George here with my summer traditional tie-up for LACROSSE.COM’s Stringer Stories. This slightly-silly-but-functional pocket came about thanks to the guys at LACROSSE.COM and my obsession with the first generation of Brine Clutch heads. In my opinion, these heads takes ANY offensive pocket better than any head made — this x6 model included. The…
First and foremost I would like to say thank you to LACROSSE.COM for the opportunity to string up a stick in the Summer Series. My name is Alex Poole. I started this business in 2014 while I was a student-athlete at Lees-McRae College. It started as “Appalaxin Stringing & Dyes” and has since evolved into “Red Wing Custom…
The Thompson Brothers have become wildly popular in the lacrosse world in the past few years for their creative playing style. Throwing countless behind the back passes and one handed shots, they play freely as they believe the game should be played. This style of play isn’t normally taught as most coaches focus predominantly on…
Hey guys, John here from Space Coast Stringing. Just a quick introduction: I’ve grown up on the East Coast of Florida, home of some of the newer Lacrosse programs (and the Space Program, hence the name “Space Coast”). I helped start the club team at Satellite High School my sophomore year along with some buddies…
What is up guys, Neil here from Cardinal Lacrosse. Back with another entry for LACROSSE.COM’s Stringer Stories. For this week’s head, I wanted to use one of the most unique pieces of mesh on the market. Enter STX’s newest innovation, Knot Mesh. Stringing Knot Mesh is different from stringing most mesh. And if I am…
Hey guys, George here, with another traditional tie-up for the LACROSSE.COM Stringer Stories series. It wasn’t that long ago that just about every attackman/midfielder on an STX sponsored NCAA team was using a Proton Power. Not to mention the countless HS and youth players that adopted it. I have always loved stringing it – the pockets…
Hey guys, George here (@flstringer) with another project for LACROSSE.COM’s Stringer’s Stories. The Under Armour Command is just awesome. It has excellent stiffness, face shape, aesthetics, and the ability to take mesh and traditional pockets equally well. I went with Throne Leathers and a bright New York Lizards color scheme that I thought would pop against…
What is up guys, Neil here from Cardinal Lacrosse, back with another entry for LACROSSE.COM’s Stringer’s Stories. A lot of times when stringing a mesh pocket, we get caught up in doing the same things we always do. We use the same mesh, put the pocket in the same place, and use all the same…
Hey guys, George here. I’m excited to string a few heads with @cardinallacrosse for LACROSSE.COM‘s Stringer Stories, so let’s get into it! Let’s start at the beginning. A classic asymmetrical traditional pocket has always been my pocket of choice. Classic trads are a great place to start your traditional stringing process. However, they can be…
What is up guys? Neil here from Cardinal Lacrosse. As part of LACROSSE.COM’s Stringer’s Stories, we were asked to string up a few heads and talk about our process and why we chose to do what we did. The idea of these articles isn’t only about specific techniques or patterns (although I will include the…
Since the birth of lacrosse, stick stringing has been an outlet for lacrosse players to become closer to the game they love. It’s the most fundamental way to personalize your game and has been used as a tool to bring teammates and friends together. On most teams throughout the years there has always been one…
For this edition of Hit the Field Friday, we are going to look into the construction of the all-new Maverik Rome RX3 glove and discuss how it provides an unmatched level of protection. Designed for speed, the Rome RX3 glove, like the Rome NXT glove, features a tight, close to hand fit. Maverik’s anatomical SPEED FIT…
