Stringing Business

[TexasLax13]

Some freinds and I started a stringing buisness where we will be striging peoples sticks for cheep. Mostly in the Houston area. I wanted to get your opinon on it. We ordered jimalax stuff and also make a wabsite,
www.arrowheadlacrosse.4t.com
please give some coments

[hankooklax]

well it looks good to me. Its nice to find out people are still concerned with stringing. I string a lot but i find that here in VA there arent a lot of people who will pay to get stringing done. Been turned down twice for a stringing job just cause there really isnt that big of a need. Hopefully i'll string during summer league and get people that way. Good luck man with ur business

[TexasLax13]

thanks, ya there in TX people are getting new to the sport so hopefully I can mk some money over summer and stuff

[TexasLax13]

ya I kno, we made the site yeasterday and we just wanted to get a hold on it so today we are doing grammer and when we get our order we are going to put up our strung heads on the photo page

[mistatreymckay]

[TexasLax13]

there are kids in nova, im stringin stuff all the time. i just started dying/stringing at laxworld over in burke

[Saintslaxn1208]

imo there are too many pictures of stick strung with mesh , and get a front picture of a traditional stick

[TexasLax13]

ay when we get the oreder it wll be all our strung sticks not justpics we just wanted to get a hold on the company

[laxfan251]

hey u said 16$ for mesh, that includes materials i take it, and what else besides mesh do u string.

[mdawg]

you really should show some pics of YOUR work. and why should we send our sticks to you? you need some credentials. for all i know you could be some smart 12 year old kids who can throw together a "pocket" and want to sell them.

[laxdevil666]

how did you get the website? and how much are you paying for it, cause i need one for my buisness.

[J_Man55]

Ya I think its kinda lame you took pics from Jimalax and other sites. But I understand you were just trying to get the site up. Definately try to get pics up of sticks you strung and get pics of the mesh by itself (not ones from Jimalax)

[TexasLax13]

ya, we havent gotten the order in yeat

[TexasLax13]

we havent got the order in yeat also we are not stringin for you guys just for the houston area.... also we are getting pics of heads we string when we get the oreder in...

[mdawg]

yeah but whos going to want to send you there heads if they dont know how good you are? i certainly wouldnt

[reallax455]

If you would like more people to help, I would be glad to help do some stringing. Check out my webshots for pics of my string jobs (everything in there was done by me except for the RP)

Edit: PM me or send me an IM.

[TexasLax13]

we havent got the order in yeat also we are not stringin for you guys just for the houston area.... also we are getting pics of heads we string when we get the oreder in...

[reallax455]

wat order are you talkking about? also I am in the Houston area

[TexasLax13]

our order from jimalax, do you go to Strake? I am sean steiningers brother

[reallax455]

Oh I see. Well if you ever need an extra stringer, I will be glad to help out. I have only recently begun to string but I am quite good at doing custom pockets (especially big word). Once again, check out the pics in my webshots and tell me what you think.

[reallax455]

!!! Lol. Yeah I go to strake. Youve probably seen my custom pockets that I have done like the ones i did for todd hartis. anyways i would be glad to help out so just IM and we can talk.

[TexasLax13]

ya I have seen you at my bros games your pockets ask kick, I'll talk

[mdawg]

just out of general curiousity...texaslax, do you haev any pics of your stringing at all?

[TexasLax13]

no, once again it is a local thing we have not gotten the order in yeat but when we do I will have tons of pictures up on the picture page of the website coustom and mesh

[mdawg]

what does it being a local thing have to do with anything? you dont have ANY pics of sticks youve done ever? not even your own?

[TexasLax13]

no, I havent had a digital camera, also the cord that you transfer the media card with was lost but we will have pictures when the order from jimalax comes in. I was just wondering what everyone thought about the idea.

[mdawg]

i see. well we will all be curious to see your work when you are able to show it. it must be very good if you are confident enough to open a stringing business.

[redsox5459]

thats sweet i was thinking of doing this but i dont know if ill get any business
are you expecting to get business locally or not?

[TexasLax13]

ya, localy, many people here in texas dont kno where to start when they are stringin and are gettign jipped buy texlax and gblax

[HRodLAX]

well it looks good to me. Its nice to find out people are still concerned with stringing. I string a lot but i find that here in VA there arent a lot of people who will pay to get stringing done.

Not true. I live in the Hampton Roads area of VA and i strang every stick on my team plus other people from other teams. I mad about $200 this season just from my one team. Not enough for a soild job, but nice on the side.

[Brady]

GET A BETTER PROVIDER!!! The popups are killing me. Hopefully after you string a few sticks you pay the $60 a year to get freewebs or somebody to host your site pop-up free. Good luck guys.

[CuseLax18]

I didn't get a single pop up! Heh...

I can't wait to see the pictures, sounds like a pretty cool idea.

[TexasLax13]

ya, no offence brady but with firefox and such it is really easy o block popups and if you are talking aobut banners their are only like 3 and you can close out of one of them not bad for a free website

[Brady]

I'm not ripping you guys. I'm just telling you my first impressions. And are you going to tell your customers that firefox will block all of the popups and to just close them? If so, then that's how you handle your business. I'm just telling you that if you want to have a more professional feel to your site you may want to spend the few bucks it will cost. When you go to a store do they just throw merchandise on the shelf behind some junk or do they PRESENT it?

Constructive criticism, guys. That's all that this is. I was actually trying to help out by telling you that from a customer's perspective--I'm not really too into giving money to a couple of guys with an obviously FREE website who may or may not actually provide the services they say they will. <--- By saying this, I'm not attacking you guys, but rather giving you an idea of what impression people may get from your website.

GEt a better provider. Id reccomend Cyhosting (cyhosting.com). They give you your own .com/.biz/.tv etc. etc. Name! No popups or ads either!

[shiftylax]

I'd watch who you reference on your page. And also who you steal your mesh photos from.

[Houstonlax22]

You are boardering on Libel and copyright infringement. Those are some heavy charges.

[TexasLax13]

Houston Thank you for the info on the pictures of the mesh they are now off the site and when I recive the jimalax in the mail can I take pictures of themeshI recive? thanks

[Brady]

You may also want to contact Jimalax and ask them about the possibility of having something along the lines of "all of our sticks are strung using Jimalax (www.jimalax.com) supplies" and see if they'd be amicable about that type of situation.

[TexasLax13]

ya, I will do that thanks for the info!

[Brady]

No problem. Good luck to you guys.

[TexasLax13]

can I take pics of kjimalax mesh that I have and put them up their?

[Houstonlax22]

You can take pictures of the mesh yourself, just not the ones used by other companies. Beware about your accusations of Texas Lacrosse a.k.a. Texlax especially since your making statements in writing. That's what Libel is, a form of Slander.

[TexasLax13]

can I put "other lacrosse stores"

[tlaing22]

yes because it is a broad stroke without any acusational statements involved. I'd suggest keeping Texlax/GBLax's name off of the site and not mention their names on the messageboards because it can all be considered Libel.

[TexasLax13]

ok thank you it is now changed to "other lacrosse companys"

[laxfan251]

if its sean's bro then your not a "pro" or "experienced" stringer yourself bc last time i heard u were having baine strings ur heads "about 2 months ago" (on ur vapor u traded for the i-beam). So r u going to be the one stringing or someone else. If ur going to have riley string dont have him do mesh, hes pretty bad at mesh but pretty good at things like trad. Also wheres sean, he hasnt been on aim.........

Oh BS. The X2 sucked but I did a good job on the matrix and the answer. Im getting better

[TexasLax13]

[reallax455]

If you need, I can help you with Big Words, and I'm sure you can get Baine to help you out if you ask him

[TexasLax13]

Does anyone know the adverage length of a shooting string so i now where to cut it off at?

[RYU]

Does anyone know the adverage length of a shooting string so i now where to cut it off at?I know this makes me sound like a d!ck, but I'm sorry...

If you have to ask how long to cut shooting strings, then you have no business trying to run a stringing business. Keep practicing though, and someday you'll get there.

[reallax455]

Does anyone know the adverage length of a shooting string so i now where to cut it off at?

I would say maybe 28-33in for shooting strings

[TexasLax13]

to let you kno RYU I am not the one stringing the heads I jsut want to get the info for the other person in the company he is the striger he has bween stringing for quite a while, he prob knows how long I just wanted to know so I could see a apox of how many shooters I could have out of a 100 yd spool
