torque -- i, i, i, i, (to the tightest part of the pinch) then 2,2,2

[stinisonfire]

Great idea, but AM18 be sure to let me know what all you've added so I can delete the old posts and keep this less cluttered and easier to look through.

[Hounds4life]

great thread idea AM18 i wanna see how it turns out, this will really be helpful

[XxlacrossexX]

I don't really think this will help because of the near unlimited ways you can string one head. Not to be rude, but this thread doesn't really help, especially if you arent telling everyone what type of pocket each pattern will be.

once completed, i think this could be sticky-worthy

[cchslaxman]

once completed, i think this could be sticky-worthy

i second that. i have several great sidewall patterns that have turned out to be very effective to get a mid, mid-high, or mid-low depending on how you break it in and the shooting string formation. be back soon with answers.

EDIT: All with 10D
Original Cyber- topstring, 1i, 1i, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1
X3- Topstring, 1, 1i, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1 <= godly
PP- Topstring, i, i, i, i, 2, 2, 1, i
revo pro- 0, topstring, i, 0, i, 0, i, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1
proton+ - topstring, 1i, i, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1

Another reason why this is sticky-worthy is because it allows stringers that are stringing a head that they have never strung before for someone other than themselves to have a basic idea of an effective sidewall pattern when they do not have time to do a "guess and check" method of stringing the head. Thank you for this thread AM18, and everyone get posting your effective sidewall methods for allll heads!

[laxmj1992]

pm'ed you, but also posting it here:
Proton Plus - (hard mesh) i,i,2,3,2,i.

Alright, I will change everything.

Both form mid-bag pockets.

I don't think I'm going to add these because it looks like the balls moves a lot on the pocket.

[L4X_M4ST3R]

i never really keep track of patterns if i did i'd hook you up with all the ones i've done but my main heads are cyber, triton, torque, clutch, and pp


but all of them are taken

i think you need to get this thing a little more organized like by pocket placement, and by all the mesh sizes. like 7 & 8 just overall organize it like an outline for a long paper...if you need help im me at p4intb4ll m4st3r

I understand what 1 and 2 means and so on....

but what does i and 1i and 0i and 2i mean?????

[navylax161]

you interlock on that hole ^^^

[bm2lax]

When it says Clutch: 10 Diamond- Low i,i,i,i,0,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,0,1,1

what do u do on the 0's and for the clutch for this pattern do you use all the sidewall holes??/ please respond

[caseylax]

A great one for the Proton Power with HARD MESH is 1,1,3,2,2,1,1

[BMHSLax]

this needs to be updated, if you continue to it will be nice to have

[indians8]

When it says Clutch: 10 Diamond- Low i,i,i,i,0,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,0,1,1

what do u do on the 0's and for the clutch for this pattern do you use all the sidewall holes??/ please respond

The 0's mean skip the next hole. So for example if you had 1,0,1,1 you would do one hole regular (not interlocked), skip the next hole and do then do regular, regular.

btw i's mean interlock (clarifying if you did not know)

[AttackMan18]

this needs to be updated, if you continue to it will be nice to have

Yea, I know.
I have been received tons of pms, with no pictures.
I'm not going to put up not as good sidewall patterns.

I have also been really busy.

i know that feeling. see if any mods want to help out. a lot of the patterns are going to give similar pocket like 1,1,1,2,2,2,1,1 and 1,1,1,2,3,2,1,1. (i'm just throwing random numbers out there)

[blklightlax]

wat do all the numbers 1,2,and 3 mean...i get the "i" thing but not the numbers

[BMHSLax]

wat do all the numbers 1,2,and 3 mean...i get the "i" thing but not the numbers

it's double and triple ups on diamonds to form the pocket. look at the double up tuts and you will see. it's a great way to get the pocket to form just the way you like it and makes it easy to experiment. the i is interlocking

[mozilla432]

bump..........

[caseylax]

For a mid-low pocket on the Revo Pro with 10d Hard Mesh is-i,i,i,i,1,3,2,1,1

[greenshoelaces]

I need a good sidewall pattern for a swerve. My pocket's always end up being pretty nice, but are a little too high for my preference.

[Green34]

isnt there already another thread like this?

[AttackMan18]

Just got back from a 3 busy weeks of lax.
Updating the list tonight.

[rickybobby13]

for the razer 2.0 pro i use 111212211 all interlocking

[L4X_M4ST3R]

once agian i'll say. You forgot 5d, 7d, 8d, and minimesh

its just needs to be a little more organiszed and why can't we just use black text?

[takin me down]

blade 2.0 and blade comp dlsdu 1,2i,4,3,3,2,1 with a goal ex topstring and regulate bottom

[BLax136]

a really good pattern for mid pocket with canadian mesh on a blade 2.0 is
start on second hole from top
1i,1i,1i,2,4,2,1,1i,tie
http://content.imagesocket.com/thumbs/IMG_1154e5d.JPG (http://imagesocket.com/view/IMG_1154e5d.JPG)
regulate bottom string regular topstring on a 10d row
has great channel and great hold and the ball doesnt roll around in the pocket

[naderlax23]

does anyone have a good one for a razer 2.0? I'll edit this when i can see my stick for a evo 2.0 pattern

[abatch21]

CLutch:

i,i,i,i,i,i,2,1,1.

EVO 2.0:

i,i,i,i,1,2,1,1

[cnlax19]

quick question, does the 2i mean interlock through two diamonds, so like put one diamond on top of the other then do the basic interlock method?

[naderlax23]

no it means go through two diamonds and inter lock the second one. Although, i've never thought of what you've suggested. I might give it a try just to see

[lexlax92819]

for the brine clutch one. Mid i,0,i,0,i,0,i,0,2i,0,2i,0,0,1,tie off

what do the i,o, 2i? especialy a 2i

o yeah what about 1?

i dont under stand patterns at all can somebody explain this to me or shw me some pics so i can understand these patterns

[greenshoelaces]

i = interlocking. Here is a thread teaching you to interlock on mesh.http://www.lacrosseforums.com/showthread.php?t=57523

1 = use 1 diamond, regular sidewall.

2 = use 2 diamonds

3 = use three diamonds, so on.

If it has a number and the "i", this means you interlock using two diamonds.

Here is a tutorial on how to string normal sidewalls, not interlock.http://www.lacrosseforums.com/showthread.php?t=22944

The pattern means to string it in that order using that many diamonds, interlocking at some holes, etc. If you have any questions, p.m. me.

I hope that helps da hitman.

tighter channel

[Titanoh]

Mohawk Mission, low pocket, StringerShack DLSDU:
1(i), 1(i), 1, 2, 3, 3 (and I used the bottom string hole as another stringing hole so 5 after that, theres not enough stringing holes imo (not for the pocket, just to keep the other mesh down or you get a weird channel, hard to explain))

[Hockey freak]

I've got a good one for torques. I'm gonna post pics of what the pocket should look like with my sidewall pattern too.

Sidewall pattern (skip one hole each time, and start on second square hole with a knot.): 1i, 1, don't skip a hole this time, figure 8 knot (to help create a channel), 3, 3, 2, tie off. And, I used the under/under method on the sidewalls to keep the pocket thin.

To see what the knot should look like, go to: http://www.lacrosseforums.com/showthread.php?t=81350&page=3 And then scroll down untill you see laxman01's attempt at a cali connection. It has orange sidewalls (just so you can recognize it). It has a picture of his knot, which I used. If you do it right, and tight enough, it should almost look like a normal sidewall interlock from the side.
