Strung these for a couple guys on the team, Evan and Scott. I took these with me during an underway because I knew I'd have a week out to sea to get the mesh broken in and work the pockets until they were exactly how I wanted them to be. Turned out to be a good idea, I was able to keep my mind off of the typical underway nonsense. Sheesh... life out at sea can be rough at times. But, in any event, here's a picture of my work. I did not copy down the patterns, but prettymuch both of them start with 3 i's, and then either a double or a triple, and then i's all the way down.
I love stringing older sticks for some reason. They are so wide that you can really tug down hard as you can to get a tight channel that would pinch illegally in a head made today. Kind of an added challenge when carrying the ball, but I think that this along with the fact that older heads are a bit heavier than newer ones makes this a perfect training tool. Wallball and shooting practice, maybe some groundballs with an old-ish head will make it all easier when you're playing in a game with a lighter one. Just my 2 cents. More posts to come.
