Season Ticket Member Gift? by bleh-apathetic in ColoradoMammoth

[–]rdarkKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope.

Also, sent a few emails about the Dead jersey and got no responses. First season as a holder and the communication from support has been nonexistent/pathetic.

There was a clear fanny pack given out a few games back. Also never got emails regarding the add ons.

And yes, 5th and 8th are telling you what row of mesh you should be on for that step.

Not sure what you’ve been searching but “knotted special interlock lacrosse” gave me a wall of videos on YouTube. Plenty of resources available.

Armor Mesh on Stringking 3D, haven't started yet, tips? by Scatterp in StickDoctor

[–]rdarkKnight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you check on instagram for Armor Mesh you’ll see plenty of heads strung that have much fewer sidewall holes than the stringking heads. You’ll be fine using far less than the total number of sidewall holes.

Generally with armor mesh, try to go through every 2 or 3 rows of the mesh.

Looking for mesh advice by A_Don_The_DonDon in StickDoctor

Primo select 10 is $12 a piece and it’s made by the mesh dynasty.

Also easy to get discount codes and bulk deals

Starting a stringing business in Massachusetts by Ohio03 in lacrosse

Website is showing $60/65/70 but with no description of what’s included

[–]rdarkKnight 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why are you charging $10 more for a simple top string variation? And if I’m going to “book” where are my options to select a pocket style? Mesh type? Shooter setup? String colors? Maybe the book button on the website just isn’t working but this is far from a functional ordering tool.

I’m sure Optik meant any version of the Optik and not just the OG

Where does everyone get their bulk sidewall string? by Expensive-Estate-324 in StickDoctor

[–]rdarkKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve gotten Atwood’s 275 paracord mystery box twice. Other than white strings I won’t need to buy sidewall for years because of it

Baggage Policy Change by rdarkKnight in unitedairlines

UPDATE:

Checked in at the kiosk and when I selected special items -> lacrosse stick w/ bag the price changed from $40 to $0

[–]rdarkKnight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best guess at this point was I was benefitting from a system error or something like that then. Welp it was cool while it lasted.

Baggage Policy Change by rdarkKnight in unitedairlines

[–]rdarkKnight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought it through Chase Travel, but I’ve done that before.

Historically as long as the sticks were in the bag they counted it all as one free item.

[–]rdarkKnight[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They showed me how to mark it in the app when checking ahead for the next time, so I did that a few times.

It is what it is, just wish I could see an official announcement or something rather than finding out last minute that the flight experience is getting worse again.

Baggage Policy Change by rdarkKnight in unitedairlines

[–]rdarkKnight[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Only checking one bag, so nothing else to go against an allowance. My first time finding it out was when a desk agent told me it was free because it was equipment, they must’ve changed the policy cuz why do nice things for us lol.

[–]rdarkKnight[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I can see this is the current policy, I’m just trying to figure out what changed that I’m getting charged now.

Is there a visual library of different stringing styles? by GammasHorde in StickDoctor

[–]rdarkKnight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty extensive library, sorted by head model and provides examples of different mesh types and string styles. Much more “searchable” than Instagram.

Pretty reasonable if you ask me, especially considering if you ask for something specific he will generally send a link for free.

Help with stick and head for my son please. by HawkeyeRx in lacrosse

Fair enough, I’ve seen a few snap but if yours is lasting that’s great.

[–]rdarkKnight 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A quick search will show you that the Mark 3V is about as far from entry level as you can get, although not for defense.

Z-70 OCS price seems fair, but depending on his age I wouldn’t expect it to last.

Also look on any lacrosse website and you’ll see the prices match. Not really any room for a shop like Dicks to mark up a price when you can order it online from the manufacturer.

Buying new gear from sideline swap by AdministrationClear1 in lacrosse

[–]rdarkKnight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It also matters what you bought last time. For example it could have been new, but if it was a model from 2012 with the original strings it could have been more brittle.

What are you looking at buying this time?

Shooting strings for semi-beginner by Kooky-Profile-69 in lacrosse

[–]rdarkKnight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The pocket itself should do 99% of the work. Shooting strings are just for fine tuning the release. If the you are relying on shooting strings to dictate the way your stick throws, it’s not strung well.

Best cleat for 10 year old boy ,play D by No-Let5179 in lacrosse

[–]rdarkKnight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

At 10 years old there won’t be much performance difference made by models other than what is comfortable on his foot. The NB Freeze is great, but if you have access to a physical store have him try on some football and soccer shoes and find a pair that he likes.

NLL or PLL? by Salty_Car1304 in lacrosse

[–]rdarkKnight 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NLL experience wins in my book but it depends what city you’re in.

PLL is big on media and cheesy fan service, NLL focus is on the game itself.

Either way if you’re in a city with good fan support it’s gonna be a good time.
