Monster Mesh and Hard Mesh. Do not use soft mesh cause it can rip easily.
the mesh that is used on a goalie stick
For a traditional pocket, they have no use in a mesh pocket unless it is an open sidewall goalie stick.
Go to a sports store and by a mesh kit. IN the mesh kit should be directions on how to string a stick
re-string it with hard mesh.
I wouldn't recommend it. I can work if you've got a really soft mesh but you should probably stick to RIT dye.
the strings that hold the mesh to the side walls of the stick
no, as far as you are not taping the mesh
it all depends on what kind of feel you want your stick to have. i think Canadian mesh is the best but that's my opinion
The strings on a lacrosse stick are generally referred to as the "mesh" and the "shooting strings." The mesh is the net-like material that forms the pocket, while the shooting strings are the additional cords threaded through the mesh to help with ball control and shooting accuracy. Some sticks also have "sidewall strings" that secure the mesh to the head of the stick.
One thing you shouldn't do if you like a soft mesh, DON'T WET IT!!!!!!
You use nylon strings called sidewall and tie knots and loops to string the mesh into the head.
1. Get the Mesh (pocket) of the stick wet with warm water 2. Place a tennis ball or lacrosse ball in the pocket 3. Put a butter knife between the side wall and the mesh
