I doubt people will switch to mono But its great you should try some hard catches and see if its absorbing the ball....then you will see if you get any breaks, as well as stick checks.. but performance mesh and fishing line use similar fibers..
So the fishing line seems to be okay for face offs, but how well do you think it would hold up in say a fast break scenario off a face off where its like a give and go? Do you think the string would snap with passes over time or a hard pass?
You should try Spectra or Dyneema (any UHMWPE) line. Its primarily used in rigging. I have some 1.5mm diameter (regular sidewall is 1.58mm or 1/16") That is rated for 800 lbs. It only stretches 3.5% compared to 18-25% with nylon, doesn't break down in UV light (like kevlar) stronger than steel by weight. I'd imagine that the set up on this video would tear your sidewalls pretty quick. I'll probably restring an old head but seeing as i'm 10 yrs removed from playing or stringing heads, nor do i have a youtube page, I think you should try it out. I know this video is a few years old but the only thing i can find online of someone else coming even close to what i'm suggusting. Heres a link for 1.6mm 750lb braided line. www.amazon.com/emma-kites-220lbs-Braided-Polyethylene/dp/B07BKQLFRB/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1&keywords=UHMWPE%2B1.5mm%2Bfishing&qid=1618596672&sr=8-10&th=1&psc=1

The quality of your vids Has improved a ton !! Keep killing it
Thanks, Ryan!
My worry is what if you catch a hard pass, will it just snap and hit you in the face
I haven’t been a Mid face offer but I want to be a fogo cause of your vids
Join the Dark Side Kelly. Come to Fogo land.
I love the vids 🤙🏻. Make a video on how you get your STX duels to flex like a CEO
bake it
Got it
RetroNinja23 it is because he does not rotate and it flexes it back and he gets over rotated
nah nah boil that bitch
Good idea
Thanks!
Try facing off with a STX stallion 200 head it came with my d pole and I like the way it bends when I face off
Use zip ties as side wall string
Totally keep making videos of you using random things as sidewalls.
Use braided fishing line it is much stronger and doesn’t stretch

Oof. Didn't really take that into consideration. Noted for next sidewall video!

Love the vid and love the way you cut your beard
USE NOODLES
I feel like it's putting too much stress on specific points of the mesh so i think the mesh well become less durable
Hi blake
What's up Justin!
shooters as sidewall
its a long way to the top in the backround hell yeah
Yes do more
Try facing off with a Brine RP3, its a little wide but is a pretty decent face off head
