When I do a top string I have my knots reversed compared to yours. I find that it just helps seat the diamonds of mesh a little better and makes everything tighter.
I’ve strung a couple heads for me and a friend and I always somewhat forget how to do this for about 10 minutes and then it just clicks and I get it done in 2 minutes
Greg, can you do a tutorial or an update to this for a hidden nine diamond top string? Love that setup on an ECD complete stick I have and trying to replicate that exact pocket on a Tactik 2.0 head I just got.
@@ECD , word. I can totally understand that. That’s where it gets tricky when doing it is going through the back of the scoop and coming back through the loop to set the knot up properly. Can totally see why that would be hard to film, especially if not filming from above. I’ll keep going with the trial and error.
@@ECD , there’s a video from a bit back on Powell Lacrosse’s channel that shows how to string the “Powell Pocket.” That setup uses a hidden nine diamond top and that video did decently showing how to do it without using sophisticated camera angles. It was the explanation on that video that got me over the hump. Take a look at the top string portion of that video and see if that shakes some ideas loose for you all.
i strung up a Tank, when ever the mesh needs a little touch i use pocket polish which i never really have to do because the mesh is so awesome @East Coast Dyes
I have a nike ceo head with 4 holes on top and the middle diamond does not match up exactly to the middle of the head. Is there a video you could link me too or any advice is helpful?
The top string turned out well, you should do a hammer sidewall tutorial because I think that would help a lot of new stringers like myself. Also thank you for replying to my comment I never thought you would see this! Your awesome
You can start by adjusting the bottom string, shooting strings and nylon. If you can get them loose that will help some but it might be time to restring it
For the way he does it on his optik you go in the back of the mesh then in the front of the top hole then through the loop and pull tight. next you go through the back of the top hole the through the front of the same mesh diamond then through the loop and pull tight. basicly you are doing the opposite of what he shows here.
This video was super helpful and helped me string my first head!
What head did you string up?
kieran Dunn yeah me too!!
It didn’t help at all
best tutorial on the internet
So glad you decided to re-make the old tutorial videos with new updated ones!

Do a tutorial on a maverick centrik sidewall pattern and do a tutorial on the the other 9 dimond top string
Wyatt Zawada we have a live stringing up
I’m nine and this helped me string my first stick
Nice! Learning to stringing your pocket is a great skill all lacrosse players should have.
Thank you ecd
Now I’m learning how to string the chenago top string
Greg can you post a video about the sidewall pattern of the maverick prep
Declan Ochendowski We will try to get to it
Could you make a video on putting shooter strings on the Maverik optik
We have a video on how to put in shooters it is pretty universal so it should help you out it will be under our stringing tutorial
Great vid, thanks for the help, made it easy.

We keep trying but it is really hard to show how to do that without getting our hands in the way

Can you make a video on how to string a ghost 7 head? I would really appreciate it if you did
that would be a dumb video
and you should do full stringing videos of the whole head itself
Cullen Zawacki That will come. We are doing one step at a time
if u put it in .50 speed it’s really easy, and i’ve done a ceo but messed that up and a mk2a w hero 3 mesh and did it perfect
This is a great tutorial
More updated tutorials please!
spartas00 They are in production
I had trouble attaching the top mesh
Great video!! Very helpful!!
Thank you for the help Greg it has helped me!
Perfect! It gets way easier with practice.
greg, just bought some ecm, however for some reason i find that i cant get a good enough channel on my lakota. any suggestions?
Jon Wong check out our live stringing on here
I strung it with your new vortex mesh
I won't be using any other stringing stuff besides ECD
That is great to hear! what did you string up?
i strung up a Tank, when ever the mesh needs a little touch i use pocket polish which i never really have to do because the mesh is so awesome @East Coast Dyes
Hey Greg, do you have any tutorials on the STX Stallion U 500?
Jonah Schoenike Not yet!
I’m trying to learn how to string over quarantine 😂 just bought a hammer omega and I have a tank I’ll likely restring
Now is the perfect time to learn! Make sure you take your time and learn the basics to make sure everything is tight enough to hold up over time.
I wanna know how to string the topstring where it's like a triangle topstring but only the triangle portion, idk what it's called or how to do it
Captain Splash not possible. The triangle top string has to wrap around the 9 diamond top string to work
I have been waiting for a for something like this😃
Lax Kings haha we have had one for a while, we just wanted to update it. Make it a little easier to see
Just did my first head thanks a lot
Fantastic! How did it turn out?
I have a nike ceo head with 4 holes on top and the middle diamond does not match up exactly to the middle of the head. Is there a video you could link me too or any advice is helpful?
The string might not be at the same tightness on all of the holes
Thanks so much I’m stringing my first sticks as well
Good luck! Let us know how it goes
love the music, what is it?
Can you do a vid on how to break in your goalie mesh after its strung up
You don't need to break it in because east coast mesh doesn't need to be broken in
Actually you may need to regardless of mesh, in order to fully beak the pocket in, all you have to do is hit the wall for about 30 minutes.
Yo on some real shit bro thank you it was simply and easy to learn thank you
That's awesome ! Keep practicing and it will become a lot easier.
Great tutorial Greg, could you please make a side wall tutorial? And is that shirt going to be available soon? (:
Thanks bro rlly helpful
Can you do an 8 diamond top string tutorial?
Cal Mackenzie that is not a thing
Hey man you should start doing some goalie stringing tutorials ! I'd appreciate it a lot
Calvin Gordon We can try, but we certainly do not specialize in goalie stringing. There are a lot of guys who do though.
great vid greg really helped me out :)
Thanks man once you get the top string down your golden!
Can you plz make a maverik centrik tutorial?
xHAVOCxLEG4CYx we have a live stringing of one
thanks for this greg it really helps
Cullen Zawacki You're welcome. Thanks for watching
awesome. super helpful. thank you so much!!
You're welcome!
Cool Tutorial Greg. Just wanted to know if any ECD LE 4th of July carbons are still for sale
Hunter Lizza Thanks man! unfortunately no there aren't they are all gone
Ok Thanks for the info!
Super helpful, thanks!
No problem! That is what we have all of these tutorials for .
Can you guys do a tut for a gait torque please thanks
I always have trouble finishing end knots, there is always slack and I don’t know what to do
Are y’all still doing your mystery boxes? I don’t see em on the site
We are not :(
@@ECD nice thanks for the tutorial
Hey greg i have a ghost 7 head and i like to have a mid low pocket with no whip. Can u do a tutorial on that or tell me how to do it?
Thomas Camacho We will see if we can fit it in!
thank you helped me string me first head
Anytime! Glad you are learning how to string your own heads
Why don't most people use all the scoop holes?
Very helpful.
Do you guys have a store front because i would like to visit 😃
Declan Ochendowski We do not, but we have thought about it!
Isn't there a different method where you essentially do it backwards?
Please make more colors of hero mesh
Chase Jones We are working on goalie first. Than more colors will come
Super helpful
this video helped me do the top of my hammer thx grego
You're welcome! How did the pocket turn out?
The top string turned out well, you should do a hammer sidewall tutorial because I think that would help a lot of new stringers like myself. Also thank you for replying to my comment I never thought you would see this! Your awesome
I went through the top hole on the side wall what will that affect
great vid
still helpful 6 years later
lol
hey greg, how much does the carbon flex compared to the STX stallion 500 85 flex?
Is there a difference going through the mesh 1st instead, i've seen you do it both ways.
this was super helpfull
Glad it was helpful! Did you end up stringing your full stick?
can u do a tutorial for the thompson i6 mid high
Joe G we will try to get to it
I have one very long sidewall string, how long should i make it so i can do this top string?
Our strings come pre cut at 33 inches leaving a little extra to cut when it's all said and done
My brothers old stick has a lot of whip do you have any tips
You can start by adjusting the bottom string, shooting strings and nylon. If you can get them loose that will help some but it might be time to restring it
Do a side wall stringing video than a shorter and bottom stringing video
Alex RulesMC ?
Alex RulesMC Yes sidewalls can be different depending on the head and shooters can be different depending on the pocket and what you like
Great vid
Thanks, hoped this helped!
Then do a tutorial on the other 9 diamond topstring
Wyatt Zawada Which one?
how do you make that last knot so tight? mine is too far up the string
You really have to work the tension once you wrap the string through the tie off hole.
For the way he does it on his optik you go in the back of the mesh then in the front of the top hole then through the loop and pull tight. next you go through the back of the top hole the through the front of the same mesh diamond then through the loop and pull tight. basicly you are doing the opposite of what he shows here.
I do this with my top strings because it looks cooler, do you think this top string makes a difference in performance.
Brandon 111 just keeps things tight. Thats what you really need your top string to do
I have never used hero mesh. I do not like soft mesh is there a hard or medium hard option
Of course! Our Hero2.0 comes in semi-hard as well. You can check it out on our website or at any other retailers.
True//False does Greg live a lacrosse Players dream:
Nathan M so true
True
True
Which side of the mesh did you use, the rough or smooth?
Rough side toward the ball.
How tight are the strings supposed to be
Super tight! If your top string is loose the pocket can still work but won't hold up over time.
Is that top sting neon green or yellow
Neon green!
Is that the Maverik Optik lacrosse head?
yes!
its cool but you should have dyed hero mesh that yould make me happy
Leo London sorry man, we wont be dying any hero mesh
ahh ok but it would be cool
I like the shirt! Are those for sale?
LaxGirlsWorld soon to be
thanks man
Anytime! Glad this helped
Where’s pt 2 for the sides
Search how to strings a know, a 1 and a 2
Is there any reason for skipping holes?
You can use all the holes it's just an easier way to do this than a 6 hitch
worked perfectly
I tried multiple times and my diamond isn’t lined up in the middle of the head what am i doing wrong?
It's hard to see what is going on without pictures. Did you fold the mesh properly and or stretch it far enough
Tried it again. Just had to pull the mesh farther. Perfect now thanks!
