How do you still look the same since 2012… Been watching your videos for a long time man. Learned to string over 7 years ago from your vids. Your commitment to the game is really awesome, thanks for spreading love for the game of lacrosse.

I think I do look a little older but we still feel like we are just scratching the surface!

[@tuscanollie1242]

Why does Greg look low key jacked in this vid 😳

[@ECD]

Arms day in the ECD gym this morning

[@kenchan2280]

Best segment of tips and tricks, so far!

[@ECD]

Nice! We are always open to more tricks and tips to help players out.

[@tommybrian1]

Step method works best for me, thanks for the video

[@MishaAdy]

The carbon 2.0 is amazing. Got it for my goalie stick a few months ago and it’s amazing. It is so light and is easy to grip

[@ECD]

Nice, just wait until we drop the ECD goalie head

[@ckay-]

@@ECD Yooooo hyped for that.

[@OffBallLax]

I haven't heard of the heating and cooling method. Thats good stuff. But the removal part of this was priceless 😂.

[@ECD]

Sometimes that is just how the cookie crumbles!

[@shady1816]

Off ball lax!!

[@Thelsm2]

what’s the strongest shaft, I play really physical and I tend to break shafts

[@tuscanollie1242]

where do you break them?

[@Tuckitoo]

Mtx

[@rileyadams6246]

Gait ice

[@emesina]

try wolf element shafts

[@tuscanollie1242]

@@emesina those are actually the worse. They always crumble at the top

[@mitchellcalhoun9296]

Just got a mirage 2 and a ecd stringing set💪

[@debom4641]

Sick you’ll love it

[@ECD]

MY GUY! How is that working for you?

Greg: “you can use a simple hair dryer” Also Greg: pulls out industrial heat gun

[@ECD]

We have so many of these from our wax making days

[@leorasch7771]

is it ok if i use a self tapping screw on my carbon 3.0 shaft. I just got it and don’t want to risk cracking it

[@publicparking8467]

I'm going to get the EDC Mirage 2.0, but what shaft should I get that is pretty good

[@ECD]

Let's start with your age and position

[@LucaISbetter-mh9vf]

Hey i have a ecd dna 2 with a old hyperlite shaft and the shaft snapped and it wont come off of the head and ive tried hairdryer boiling water and even ace hardware it wont come out. Can u help?

[@ryanjimenezstevens2927]

Just got the carbon pro 2 speed would the surgeon 900 be a good head for it

[@mitchhacker9595]

i use same setup, you’ll have a bit of head wobble but you’ll love the feel and if you put a little tape under the head it’s fine

[@tedsgrojr]

You can use a cup of hot water and dip the throat of the head into it for about 30 seconds. It will slide onto the shaft easily. Same to remove if you lightly pour hot water on the throat (without soaking the mesh) it will soften it enough to remove nicely.

[@ECD]

Nice, we will have to try that.

[@timmywerner3856]

Ayo Greg check out some Cali lax high school teams like foothill or mater dei would be awesome

[@ECD]

Maybe we can plan a west coast trip this spring!

[@lornesam2]

Haha so many times I seen the buddy method jab

[@ECD]

It's key!

[@paperpaint1158]

When are the white sliding end caps going to be restocked?

[@ECD]

Very soon! Shipping delays are slowing things down.

[@jaydenlee1717]

I’ve got a hyperlite and 2F, they literally will not go together. I’ve frozen the shaft and heated the head, still doesn’t go on. I’ve tried so many times the plastic of the head is starting to warp inside the hole, what do I do?

[@alexp7824]

You align the hole on head with the screw hole on the shaft right?

[@ECD]

Sometimes not all brands will always match the factory holes. If you see that happen, mark where the hole needs to be. Take the head off and make sure it won't bore out the factory hole. If that is the case I would flip the shaft to other side and make a new hole.

[@alexp7824]

@@ECD so would a optik 3 and a carbon pro 3.0 fit together? Im getting my optik 3 strung now

[@dusty_bawls1310]

I have a mark 2f head and Apollo shaft and the head won’t fit on

[@ECD]

Uh oh that is not good

[@smittywerbenjagermanjensen2738]

You should start making cleats.

[@ECD]

We will leave that to the experts!

[@liamhickerson1883]

I spent 2 hours trying to find how to take off the but end of the shaft just to realize I need to pull a little harder😭😭

[@ECD]

Hate to hear that lol
