Question My son is complaining is pocket (which is hard mesh) is over stretched. Is there
a way to correct this without restringing?
Answer Kathy,
What I am assuming you mean by "stretched" is that the pocket depth is too deep, making the stick illegal. To fix this problem you could do a couple things. Without any stirnging experience there is only really one option. You can tighten string at the bottom of the head (the bottom string) and this may fix the problem depending on how deep the pocket it is.
Although this may fix the problem, the stick will probably preform differently. My suggestion would to get the stick re-strung by the professionals at ZB Lacrosse Company. They string all different types of mesh pockets with an assortment of colors schemes you can choose from. Check out their website at www.zblax.com and if you email them at zblaxcompany@gmail.com they will be happy to help you. They have great prices at $15 for most pockets and their quality is unmatched. The turnaround time is very fast as well, as they get the stick back to you in 4-5 days. My friends and I all get our sticks strung by them and have been happy with every string job.
Hope this helps and let me know if you have any more questions.
