I searched and found nothing and I want to know which head you guys or girls think is the easiest head to string. Like the one head no matter what you string it with always works out for you. For me it would be my profile it always works low pocket high pocket mid whatever, soft hard trad, it always works and throws good.

well im going to say the torque so many holes makes it pretty easy.
though its defiantly not the evo pro. the Pro series makes lip which can be pretty dang hard to get rid of, and dont give me any oh its really easy to fix blah blah blah. that makes it a "hard" head to string. eh
when i string up my evo pro it usally doesnt hit the lip but if it does i just put a nylon

ya im going to completely disagree with you on the torque. the holes are so damn big the first time i was trying to string it i couldnt find a way for the knot not come out. also on the evo pros ive had, ive never had any lip problems. but id definitely say the proton or x2 are the easiest heads to string, being that they are nice and wide and not complicated at all to figure out.

nitrous, it's got a million string holes everywhere, so you get tons of options dependingm on what it is you're stringing.

i gotta agree with d bay i have a nitrous and the pocket always comes out just right. and i have a evo pro that ive strung with soft mesh,hard mesh,and trad and i actually find it very easy to string. i here the torques easy to string but i've never strung one so i cant really comment.

ya any head is easy to string you just got to know what your doing. but if anything look for heads with a crap load of stringing holes, gait heads always have more than you really need.

i hate stringing torques, the holes are too big and there's too many of them, i never get even on the first shot. It is my favorite head once its strung though.

if you dont count lip.. anything warrior because the holes in them are all exactly the same and such.

from the look of it think torque might be on, its good lots of sidewall holes and those things you put shooters in. i personally strung one but they look like pretty easy/good heads to string.

All DeBeer heads are super easy to string. But the Torque is so simple, that you honestly have to be missing a chromosome or ten not to be able to string that stick.

torque has been the easiest to string so far for me, but the proton was easy to string also.

The wizard has the most awkwardly placed stringing holes ever. I hate it.
I think all STX heads (besides gimmick ones such as g-force and hype) are easy to string. They have the basic stringing holes, no more, no less. To make a quality pocket, nothing else is necessary.
The Nitrous is also easy to string, and the Evo Pro makes an instant pocket.
EDIT: Why is a torque so easy to string? I've never strung one, but I'd imagine the huge holes and excessive holes would be a pain to string-how do you know which hole to string the sidewalls through if theres so many?

It's not easy. In fact it's the biggest pain to string. The inside sidewall holes get in the way of the outside holes and the amount just makes it hard to know where to go.

well if you bunch up the mesh(one diamond per each hole) then its easy to get a decent pocket with the debeer heads that have mad holes.
Id say every head ive strung with the exception of the matrix, E3 and revo pro were easy to string. Matrix is easy to string with all the holes but i found it hard to get a high pocket with canadian mesh. E3 just has a weird amount of sidewall holes and I always get long pockets with the revo pro.
But if i had to choose one head, id choose the original evo

Nitrous, there are so many holes on the side wall that you can line up the mest really easily with the holes that you want. Its better than the torque because it has the holes everywhere but at the top because the top of the torque is confusing if your just learning how to string. You might have trouble woundering where to put the knot.

every other sidewall hole.
and you can use a mini screwdriver to push the string through the sidewalls near teh ridge if its that bothersome

I'd have to say torque or any other Gait head with all the sidewall holes, they just give so many options on how you can string it, the icon was a breeze for me.
i say nitrous cause of the multitude of stringing holes, especially because its got little triangle-style indentations on the certain "recommended" holes so you don't get lost trying to count holes.

I'd say the profile. I love that head.

The torque. It has a billion holes so you can string anything on it.

probably any of the newer warrior heads cuz for the most part they have the same stringing holes

the torque is easy to string but hard to make it perfect. It is very hard to get it not to hit the lip of the head
LaxBoy92
03-17-2006, 01:51 PM
I haven't tried yet, but I've heard Primers are very hard to string. I'd say the easiest head to string is the Torque because there are so many holes.

I am in love with almost all STX heads. Damn you, G-force. Your a good head, but your sidewall holes are just too damn awkward. I think I like Bionics the most though.

Blasphamy! I like the G-force sidewall holes...but they are a bit akward.

gait icon/torque. or anything gait, on that matter. they have a berzillion holes.

03-17-2006, 09:53 PM
I don't know how you people are saying warrior, their holes are so far apart you have to bunch them up orthe mesh hole is like 3 inches away from the sidewall hole it is supposed to line up with.
Anyway, I like the Bionic... I can get any pocket in theat thing, then probably my Brine Blaze... yea... real ghetto... I know.
