I am looking to buy spools of nylon on jimalax.com and there is 3 different kinds of nylon. what is the difference between crosslace, sidewall, and topstring/shooting string. if anybody knows the differnce post it up.

[Longislandlax05]

and also what is "tipped strings and laces"?

[Sir Mackel]

Sidewall is the strings you use to string the sidewall of your head, and same thing with topstring it's used for the topstring. Crosslace is for traditional stringing. And tipped strings are ones with the plastic at the end like shoelaces.

alright thanks
so what is the difference between the sidewall and topstring? is there a difference in thickness?

[Sir Mackel]

Topstring is thicker, if your going for a spool I'd say get sidewall or crosslace, because you can use it for everything.

alright thanks

if u are just going to get one spool, just go ahead and get crosslace, u can use it for everything and it works well. and yes there is a difference between them. but you can just use xlace for everything

i just ordered the sidewall is that bad?

[Sir Mackel]

No it's fine, sidewall is better for stringing mesh, and can be used to make a stiff traditional pokcet.

No, I used sidewall for my sidewalls, topstring and nylon shooter you'll be fine

[shadowelite84]

it works, i just prefer the xlace
