the first time i tried it was horrible. so i just put the factory strung (fresh mesh) back in, and i hated it so i went to the local store and bought some mesh.

Tighten the sidewalls, double up the topstring, and the rolled shooters are sloppy. It looks like 2 of them (top 2) are backward, unless it was intentional. Is that red or pink mesh?

the top 2 were on purpose. and its red. and im going to tighten up the sidewalls and double up the top string later. stupid history homework.

Yeah, I hear you.
By the way, is the Truth insanely flexible? Ive heard some nasty rumors from my friends.

tighten up the sidewalls, redo the shooters. Woven tends to be easier (in my opinion) if u just started stringing. And definately duble up on the top, it will last longer.

TIGHTEN THOSE SIDEWALLS and make them the same tightness. Double up on diamonds if you need. And re-do the topstring.

no offense, but that is a sorta bad job. im not trying to be mean but you should really unstring the whole thing and start over using one of the tutorials around here. loose sidewalls like that are reallly quite treacherous. sorry about sounding so mean, im really just tryin to help you out.

thats why i felt like i was mean saying it was bad, but i couldnt relaly see any other way to say it. Im sure he will get it fast as long as he follows the great tutorials we have on here.

Repetitive, but tighten sidewalls, redo sidewalls (double up where desired/necessary), fix the shooters or at least the U. Bring it all the way to the end of the mesh. Also it is uneven, the U shooter. It is not centered properly.
Stick to one way on the sidewall u brought the string down through the diamond on some and up on others, its basically the same either way but just stick to one.

looks a lot better than before....i would say switch to the weave instead of rolling the shooters, but thats just a preference....

leave the rolled thats the best looking part of the mesh jsut fix the u like said before its off center and go back and redo the sidewalls so that they are all identical thats the best way to make it a good performing head besides that its a great improvemnet and an awsome job for a new stringer keep up the good work
ps. 5d is harder to get perfect to if i were u id follow the 5d tut every single step of the way and stretch it real good be4 u sting it

it looks like on the first sidewall string you skipped two or three and didnt do that with the rest, theres a hole there.
