Leather problems

[ILUVLAX1234]

what should i do if the leathers dont fit through the holes in the bottom of the stick. If i try to force it throuhg my leathers will get screwed beyond belief. What should i do?

I have always forced them through, actually, I put the trimmed pointy end through and then pull through w/ a pliers. Anyway, I think it actually gives more hold to the leathers so your pocket doesn't shift as much.

Cut them so they are thinner if you can't force them in

you can always tie them off at the throat of the stick, but I guess newer sticks don't have slots by the throat like old sticks used to... you'll probably have to trim the leathers to fit the holes in the throat.

what i did for my icon (idk what kind of stick you have so you might not want to do this) is i took scissors and made the wholes bigger so i could fit the leathers

There's a tip for this on e lacrosse. you just cut it on an angle at the tip and pull it through. Since it is thicker, it will stay better in the long run

i had the same problem.... i just kept pushing and eventually got it. or the thing with the scissors sounds good

[ILUVLAX1234]

the leathers already are cut to an angle at the end and the hole is so small, i can only fit about a centimeter through before it stops, making pulling on it really hard.

2 words:

Drill bit.

Make the holes a little bigger, and then pull the leathers through.
