Stretching Mesh

[akalata]

What do you guys do? I am gonna string up my nemmy with 12D and I dont know how to stretch it so it isnt soft and has a good channel. Also, when do you string it, when its wet or when its dry after stretching?

Stretch it like you would stretch any other mesh, just grab and pull.

Softness wont come from stretching, after you use it for a while it will break in on its own. You can use conditioner while stretching to give it a head start though.

Wet or dry is up to you. I like to string it after the mesh dries, but thats just me.

i just strung my eraser and i wet it pulled out the top and just threw it around in circles to get the excess water out now i am trying to break it in i have 12d hard as well. so if you want something that works well post it and ill do that same :D

[italnstallion]

[italnstallion]

tuts = tutorials.. LOL by bad i used http://www.lax.com/bimages/1483/1 but thats only 17d i am new to stringing so i just did the basic concept.and i didnt tie my shoot stringings all the way through the sidewall.

you might want to soak it in warm water before you start too

hmm i didnt do that i just did water. i have a feeling ill be adjusting my stick alot but idk the channel seems the hardest to form. do you guys think a shaft is important? im still using al AL6000. since i am a freshmen and i tried out for a varsity lax team and i didnt want to get a 250$ stick and get cut so i still have a crap shaft. i am looking at Gait DB803 the titanium enchanced.

I have never done that i have 12D and i really needed a bigger pocket in it
