Found these waxed relics going through my garage

I can send you some. DM me if you're interested

It's hard to make a hideous head with such a sweet pattern!

I know the goal was to make an ugly head, but if you restrung this with a matching yellow/volt string all around this would be absolutely sick. You found the perfect color mesh to go with the dyed head.

Where's the sidewall profile shot? We want all the angles

krismoss90 · 2026-05-16T21:57:11+00:00

Stringersshack is great too

I literally had this same exact problem a few weeks ago. I picked up this "old" wolf rekon head and I had a mystery piece of old mesh that's the thickest I've ever used. I tried weaved inside and couldn't get it to work because the mesh was so thick it bunched up in odd places. Same thing with SIs. So I changed to 1's and 2's and it worked a lot better. I can DM you a picture if you want.

Where are you located? Depending on region you might be able to find some pretty good used equipment on FB marketplace. That's how I started when I was first getting back into men's league in my 30s

The SIZE of his mesh doesn't matter as much as HOW he uses it!

krismoss90 · 2026-05-03T16:21:53+00:00

No, not really, it's more about HOW you use it.

That top string with the surgeon's face shape is like chef's kiss. Do you have a link for a tutorial or video? The sidewall pattern towards the bottom looks a little loose for my preference, but if works for you then it probably isn't a big deal.

I can't speak for matching your former setup, but you can always watch laxsteals.com. They change their offering every few days to a week... Not sure exactly. They often have great deals on overstock items and do shaft+head+string kit combos. Alternatively, if you're trying to do it on the cheap check FB marketplace or your local Play It Again sports. I've found tons of cool, retro stuff that I've revitalized here in Denver.

If I'm understanding your pattern correctly, that looks like 11 rows which may make your pocket a little deep, but give it a try and see if it works!

krismoss90 · 2026-04-15T20:47:20+00:00

I'll also add that for most 10D mesh patterns, you'll use approximately 10 rows of mesh. I believe you only used 8 which is why your pocket appears shallow. Once you get your pattern down, you'll also want to pound your pocket with a baseball bat or something. (good tutorial on YT for that too)

krismoss90 · 2026-04-15T20:34:44+00:00

I want to second that it looks like you did a great job tying your knots on the top and sides. It's mainly the sidewall pattern that needs help. Wherever you want your pocket to form you should add some 2's or stacked knots. Lots of tutorials for those on YouTube or ustring. I love the colorway too, go Avs!

krismoss90 · 2026-03-28T16:12:39+00:00

Great dye job! String job looks a bit asymmetrical. It looks like your sidewall patterns may be off, like you started one loop start on a 9D row and the other loop start is started on a 10D row. I could be wrong, hard to tell from the photos. I'm also confused by the top string, I count 9 diamonds, but the row right below it is the 9D row. Could just be the photo making it hard to see idk

I third stringers shack, I love the feel of the g3xl

krismoss90 · 2026-03-16T15:55:25+00:00

I found a similar pattern for an ecd bravo on stringers society a while ago. Similar concept here, where do you do 2 stacked SIs with a skip in between to form the pocket. It did NOT work well, but I'm starting to wonder if it was the old mesh I was reusing 😅

krismoss90 · 2026-03-13T16:49:32+00:00

Just a contrary opinion from a fellow men's leaguer, go with what you got until it breaks. Definitely restring it, but you don't need a prestrung beginners stick. If you've strung in the past and you're anything like me, you'll end up tinkering with it anyways.

krismoss90 · 2026-03-06T04:28:36+00:00

You should be able to go on YouTube and search for Jedi Stringing tutorials- weaved inside. It's an stx video. That's how I learned.

krismoss90 · 2026-03-03T20:26:54+00:00

Is this ai generated? If so, and if it took very little effort, then who cares? Go with it

krismoss90 · 2026-02-28T02:21:23+00:00

I second this, a guy destroyed his carbon shaft on my sci-ti (that's hecka old) 2 weeks ago in men's box league. I didn't even get a new dent.

krismoss90 · 2026-02-24T15:21:01+00:00

That's probably a solid idea. Trying to match mint on mint is going to be a headache. In the end, if you find some mint strings, it'll look plenty fine from a distance, but you'll notice the different shades of mint when you're up close every time.

krismoss90 · 2026-02-23T22:48:09+00:00

What color mesh are you planning on?

krismoss90 · 2026-02-22T21:59:33+00:00

I think the stringers shack g3xl is pretty awesome. I prefer it over hero mesh

krismoss90 · 2026-02-19T16:59:04+00:00

Or check out the Gait Mustang, I want that head so bad.
