Who strings for a store?

[jmk2910]

I got a job stringing about a month ago at my coaches lax store, and it made me wonder who else here on TLF strings for a store. Post what store you work at, how long you've worked there, and what you string. If anyone wants to, feel free to post pics of your stringjobs.
I'll go first>>
Where>> Cheshire Sport Center, CT
For how long>> about a month
what you string>> mesh and trad/customs

[mnlax9]

dakota lax, mn
6 months
mesh

get paid very little beacuse the store does not make much money. ( one of two stores in the state)

[st1acrosse99]

middleton sports & fitness, middleton wisconsin.
5.5 years
everything...i mean everything

[jmk2910]

i get paid by the head, 10$(for mesh), i usually get 3-4 heads a week, good for spending money, i have another job so the stringing money is like my spending money

[MaKiMaKi13]

I'm with you on that one man even though i'm located in MD there are zero job openings or lax stores that are willing to hire competent stringers around here its lame. I could actually use a decent amount of cash flow too and i would actually enjoy the job.

but as for what i can do everything cept for intricate dyes im still working on my latest

[EHSLAX12]

southern westchester lacrosse in tuckahoe, ny. most people just refer to us as sowest lax. its awesome workin there, great benefits and ive seen most of the 08 stuff already and went through the ordering process with adidas and rbk for their stuff, which is sick.

i do everything from a mesh job to a custom dye job....the guy hired me in a heartbeat when he saw my x2 with a heat pocket.

i get around 10 an hour for now, dont get paid for individual string jobs. in the winter the rate goes up to 11 or 12 an hour. during the season itll be 11 or 12 and i do get 1/2 of the string job, which is 30 or 40 depending on if its mesh or trad.

[the next 'one']

technically i don't string for a store, but DaStringer and I own our own little business stringing. it's not doing so well now in the offseason, but we pulled in almost $500 last spring.

[AttackMan18]

Possibly I might string at the new store.
Sling It! Lacrosse is opening another store in San Rafeal.
I want to string their.

[lhslaxer22]

I was going to string at the Sling It! Lacrosse in Alamo, but they didn't need me at the moment.

I might work for Total Sports in Livermore, so I could possibly string for them too.

[spyopticgoggles]

does anybody string for the manhasset lulax? im going there this weekend

do you guys have the 08 stuff out now? I'm gonna head there soon to get some mesh, and want to check things out.

[EHSLAX12]

only some of it, we have the torque pro and thrust, and were supposed to be getting the adidas stuff soon.

[Mike21]

I have two questions for you guys. When you applied for the job did you have to show the person interviewing you dome recent work? or did he just like ask you and see if you knew about stringing? Also do guys string there at the store or bring some heads home with you to string?

[ATXlacrosse]

I string for southswell but I have to do it for free. So I just get paid with equimpent like I gonna get the woodrow next month. but when I can get paid like 20 a head.

ha thats weird i do most of my shopping there if not online...in fact i was there last weekend..small world (helps that its the only shop i know of within like 100 miles)

[Sir-Lax-Alot]

I just got a job at Bigfoot Lacrosse in Portland, Or. I'll be stringing alot of different things, but mostly trads and customs cause not many people can do it out here.

[dalaxmandef3]

alot of people in my area string for great atlantic thats what im going do when i get the time

[MainLax28]

Fudd Lacrosse Ocean City, NJ.
No per head pay.
Just an hourly rate of 8.00
I do pretty much anything, and everything.
Also string over the internet, and on ebay. Made a couple hundred on that in the spring, christmas.
I got the job last February. The guy opened the store overnight, and the next day I walked in after a game, smelling like piss, and looking all messy, and I started the next day. Sort of a supply and demand job, seeing as I was the only person who strung sticks half decently, and knew about lacrosse within like a 30 mile radius. Probably the best job ever.

[nemiman18]

i hope to work for lu in the near future, but i have to get a few more years older, i am by far the best stringer around so i already make good money

[kevidinho]

Man I wish I lived near a lax store. Not only to string for $$$ but also to just have the convenience of having a store around to see new stuff etc. I would definitely work there if I had the opportunity.

[THE_1protector]

play it again sports in baltimore. 10 bucks a head. i mostly just have to string up unstrung ones that gett brought in or restring crappy ones. not super glorious but its money

[EHSLAX12]

my job just gets better and better.....scorpion stuff comes in tomorrow or thursday so i should be getting one of teh shafts, not sure which...

[EastCoastDeft]

trying to get a summer job at comlax next summer. Theres only 1 person who im competeing against.....a senior in hs. i also live about 20 min walk from the store.

[kevidinho]

Jeez dude you have a sick rate and all that new gear too? I'd go for the Titanium CSlax did a review on, he made it seem awesome.

[veronalax33]

the only store in my area that highers stringers is middleton cycle and fitness, and st1acrosse works there...and i'm only 14. so i'm probably not gonna get a job there anytime soon lol.

[murderlax]

i would(and can) string for this store but its a 20 minute drive(which isnt bad) but i'd rather not.

i really want to string for a store though.

i've been stringing for over 3 years now, and i string everything. mesh, customs, goalie, but i prefer good old mesh.

[EHSLAX12]

Jeez dude you have a sick rate and all that new gear too? I'd go for the Titanium CSlax did a review on, he made it seem awesome.

when we get all of them ill take pics, we take them for inventory, and ill try to get them up on here. ive been camera-less for such a long time...

[Slyder592]

i like stringing for people on my own, not through a store. if i charge my friends or
teammates like 10 bucks for a job( basic job), thats better than having to go to work for it.

[cali feeder]

I've been stringing for LaxStore since the end of summer.

You are pretty lucky. Minimum wage here is like 5.75 or something like that. 7.15 is really decent here.

Really? I live in Vegas, and I didn't think Sling It! hired many people. I guess if you just did stringing Neil and Woody might need someone. That's pretty sick though. I'm not good enough at stringing to even ask if I could have the job, although my coach works there and is a close friend of Neil

[mnlax9]

my store that i work at just got sold.

so new job

lavin lacrosse
Minnesota
mesh

[snafoo]

dalax - most of those guys don't really string for Great Atlantic. They just do soft mesh pockets for heads in the closeout/sale section and don't get paid much. There are two main guys who string all the custom stuff and they've been doing it for years

[laxdevil666]

Lax Unlimited of Mt Kisco. String everything under the sun. We should get a lax unlimited mega thread going on here as well.

[gtodude]

i string for lax world and help out whenever they sponsor a game. i work in those tents they set up and string whatever people want.

[laxplaya77]

The closest lacrosse store to me is over an hour away (Detroit Lacrosse). If it didnt cost me like $40 in gas for a round-trip (drive a 1991 silverado, huge gas hog), id be down there so fast beggin for a job. You guys are so lucky to live next to stores.

[LaxWizurrd]

Would and can but dont huh... And you really want to string for a store but wont even though you have an opp? wow what a useless post.

I string for northstar lacrosse in mn. I've been there a little over a year.
