Edit- I just realized you rolled them. Never mind You have to go inbetween two rows of holes and use the line that divids them to roll. I'll wait for someone with better explaing sills though, because I am a picture person.

ok
make your lace even on both sides, then look at the stick sideways then put the outside lace in the front and the inside part after it but your putting them in at the saem time and do this till you hav finished

when one string goes down the other should go up and they should weave.

arent you supposed to weave the string through in a V form, and then wrap the weaved string with more string, going along it, like with shooters strings?

e-lacrosse is atrocious. Don't listen to them. Look at some other pictures, including pics in my webshots album, to see how you should really do shooters.

When you weave it in and out the first way through, on the way back, you wrap it through the mesh. And none of the mesh should be showing where the V is like on this picture.

Its not really close enough but my camera is at my friends house.

ok, at this point, i really have no idea what to do. on http://www.e-lacrosse.com/stech24.html , i understand the first part of #1 all the way at the bottom. but i have no idea what to do after that. and sorry, but the whole "look at this ________ picture and learn" doesnt exactly work. are there any other guides out there other than e-lacrosse for V stringing?

you want to string a v just like you do with any other shooting string. All you do is start with a shooting string, and fold it in half. Then insert it into the sidewall string and pull half through. At this point you should have half of the string hanging on the front of the mesh, and half of it on the back. Then you put both ends of the string through the first hole, so the string that was on the back is now on the front, and vice versa. Then you keep repeating that.

tie both ends off on the sidewall string, not at the edge of the mesh.

Not seeing pics gets you angry?

I think that's a real nice job for a first time making a V. I know my first was just ugly, lol, even though I thought it was great. I know that a lot of us are like perfect symmetry (cough livin4lax), I won't play without it, but as long as it works, on your first time, you don't have to stay up all night trying to fix it :) good job

yeah i was thinking about where to end it... but if it's at the sidewall string, wont the end be sliding up and down all the time? there is a considerable gap between the spaces in the sidewall strings.
