How to string a lacrosse stick

The tutorial below will teach you how to string a lacrosse stick. The mesh I used is old and already broken in, but you will typically use new mesh to string a stick. To prepare the mesh you must make sure to stretch the mesh out as much as possible, this will allow you to string a lacrosse stick easier. Now lets start the stringing of the lacrosse head.
Materials:

Mesh
Sidewall and shooting strings
Scissors
Lighter, to burn frayed strings

Step One: If you follow these steps you will learn how to string a lacrosse stick. Fold the top row of mesh over the second row, just like the picture.

Step Two: Put the top string through the top hole on the sidewall, then put the string through the first mesh hole in the first row.

Step Three: Loop the top string back through the same top sidewall hole, so the mesh will be as tight as possible to the sidewall.

Step Four: This is what the lacrosse string should look like after you loop it through.

Step Six: Loop the top string back around and come through the second mesh hole, but stay to the far right of the mesh hole.

Step Seven: Warp around the top string and put the top string through the third mesh hole. Don't pull to tight because you need room for the next step.

Step Eleven: Wrap the top string around the top hole of the sidewall and under the last mesh hole.

Step Twelve: Now take the top string and put it through the same hole. Pull it tight and not it.

Step Thirteen: You have completed the top string, the hardest part of stringing a lacrosse head.

Step One: Place the sidewall string through the sidewall hole right below the top string. Then pull the sidewall string through the next mesh hole down from the top.

Step Three: Place the sidewall string through the next sidewall hole and then tighten.

Step Six: Now we're going to change the sidewall from the above steps. In the above steps the mesh is pulled as tight to give the ball a popping effect when you shoot or throw. We don't need that this low on the sidewall, so place the sidewall string through the next mesh hole but through the bottom.

Step Seven: Skip a sidewall hole and place the sidewall string through the next hole. Then pull to tighten. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the next three holes in the sidewall, I don't skip any holes because this will allow the pocket to be low in the mesh. Low pockets are good for cradling one handed, which is helpful because I am an attackmen.

Step Eight: Place the sidewall string through the last mesh hole and the string through the last sidewall hole. Then pull tight and make a knot. Now you have strung the sidewall of a lacrosse stick.

Step Nine: Place the sidewall string through the last mesh hole and the string through the last sidewall hole. Then pull tight and make a knot. Now you have strung the sidewall of a lacrosse stick.

Step One: There are many differenet ways to string the bottom string, but I like to pull my bottom string as tight as possible. This helps with rain issues. So first tie one end of a string and place it through the far left hole. Then through a mesh hole of your choice. Choose a mesh row pretty far down, I typically count 20-22 rows down.

Step Two: From this angle you can see the mesh holes I used. Now place the string through the other side.

Step Three: Place the bottom string through the last hole to the far right and then knot the string. You have now completed the bottom string of a lacrosse stick.

You're Done!: My trick to break in new mesh is to pound the heel of your foot into the mesh. I know it sounds weird but this technique is successful at breaking sticks in. After you break the new mesh in, you should re-tighten the sidewalls and bottom string. A needle nose plier is good for this.
