    • Cut your strings to the appropriate size. I generally cut the top string to be a little over a meter long, and both of the sidewall strings to be a little less than a meter.

    • Melt the ends of the string to prevent fraying. After melting, I lick my fingers and pinch the tips of the string to create a pointy tip that is easier to string. Have caution when pinching the tip, if your fingers are not salivated, you will burn yourself.

    • Skip a hole of mesh, and repeat this knot. The top string will consist of 4 of these knots, so divide up the plastic holes to string evenly. Different heads will require different spacing. On this head, a Gait Torque, I skipped 2 holes in the plastic.

    • Begin to tie the first sidewall knot. Go down through the mesh and down through the sidewall. Skip a sidewall hole or two in the plastic while at the top of the stick.

    • Pro Tip: When stringing the side wall, remember, "over- over". Go over the mesh, and over the sidewall hole in the plastic.

    • Continue by going up through the mesh hole and pull the knot tight.

    • Pro Tip: This knot is known as an interlock, and will sometimes be represented in a string pattern by an "i". By going back up through the mesh hole, you are essentially "locking" the mesh to the hole in the plastic sidewall and creating much more tension in the mesh that would otherwise be slack.

    • Start stringing regular sidewall knots. For these, you continue to go "over-over" but you do not go back through the hole in the mesh.

    • Pro Tip: When you have reached the point where the width of your head narrows, you want to start creating a pocket with your sidewall. Because you want a pocket, you want to STOP interlocking so that you relieve tension and create slack where you want your pocket.

    • Once woven once through, go around the plastic sidewall, and weave the string back through the same row going above, then below the current weave.

    • Pro Tip: For the cleanest looking shooters, make sure to weave back on the opposite side of the mesh to cover up any part of mesh in the row. You can see this difference on the right and left side in the picture.

    • Add in the desired amount of shooters. This picture is an example of a shooter known as a "nylon" which is essentially a sidewall string in the place of a shooter.

    • Pro Tip: Shooters placed in different rows create a different feeling when throwing. It's all a matter of trial and error, as well as personal preference to decide where to put your shooters.

    • Pro Tip: String your shooters different directions to avoid warping of your mesh/pocket over time. Notice how the shooters in this pocket are tied off on different sides.

    • Go play with your new strings!

    • Pro Tip: Finding a string job that suits you is all a matter of personal preference. Change up your sidewall pattern and shooters to find a stringing taste that you prefer.

    • Pro Tip: Stick stringing takes lots of practice. If this is your first string job, your knots most likely are not as clean as you might like them to be. Practice, pull your knots tight, and practice more. You will be stringing like a pro in no time!

    • Pro Tip: Look up new knots, new patterns, new pocket ideas, and add some personality to your strings! Once you get the basics down, experiment with all kinds of sidewall knots in your quest for the perfect pocket.
