Wide Ride

[burleson]

I am a new to stringing sticks but I think that I am catching on pretty quick. I started out with this one: the Wide Ride that I found on e-lacrosse.com. When I first strung this stick it had a ton of whip and the ball was hitting the top of the head on release. The ball control was great though. To compensate the whip I put in 5 shooting strings. It still has great control but now the ball releases cleanly and exactly the same each time. I'm open to any suggestions.

Thanks,
Burleson

Don't loosen the knots but try to straighten out the leathers.

ok. I can straigten out the leathers. I have been playing with this stringing for about 3 weeks, so it's pretty broken in. The leathers are getting pretty soft. Thanks for the feedback.

not to be a jerk, but you might want to clean that up. and welcome to the lacrosse forums. I did a wide ride for a friend and he really liked it

I'd try pulling the leathers alittle tighter to straighten it out if u have done so already.

[burleson]

well it sounds like i need to clean up this stringing. I'll clean it up and take some new pics.

tighten thet sidewall too, also i suggest ti try a Pita first to get the knots and everything down

[burleson]

I broke a sidewall string yesterday so I'm gonna re string this head. I'll post some pics when I get it done.
