Question Hey there Jon.
I was wondering if you could give me some adive and by that i mean spell it out for me. How should i get my Nemesis Goalie head custom strung? I'm taking it in to get done soon and it would be a huge help if i could basically just repeat your answer and they would know exactly what to do for it to get strung just right. (I've only played one season so pretending i currently know nothing would be very helpful.)
~Thanks so much
Tom
Answer Tom stringing a Nemesis isn't that difficult. I'm not sure what I would tell someone else because I've done it myself for so long.
I would break it down to this: You want a nice deep pocket. The top shooting string should be very tight, the second one a little looser, and the third one looser again. They should be about two diamond rows apart starting from the plastic at the top. Also, I would use a sidewall lace as my top string as it tends to take alot of abuse and not stretch too much when it breaks in.
You will have to work with it after you use it for a while so be ready for that. It's not difficult once you know how.
