HOW TO STRING YOUR FACEOFF HEAD | Lacrosse Stringing Tutorial for a Faceoff pocket
In this video I detail two methods of stringing your faceoff stick! Both methods are designed to avoid the ball getting stuck in the back of your head by keeping the mesh from falling into the inside of the sidewall. Here is the Sidewall Pattern:
Tie off 3rd hole -Skipx2 -Knot -Skipx2 -Knot -Skip x1 -Weave -Skip x2 -Weave -Skip x2 -Weave -Skip x2 -Weave -Skip x2 -Weave -Skip x2 -Weave -Skip -1 + Tie off
I only go over how to string the sidewall- so if you would like a tutorial on how to string a Top string, bottom string, shooting string or interlock here is some tutorials from ​⁠​⁠@ECD !

    Your field stick is strung in the STANDARD style. Stringing to the OUTSIDE is the specific style of stringing for face off men. Your UA Command X is string DOUBLE OUTSIDE. Your black 2F is strung in the WEAVED OUTSIDE style. I created this style of stringing (to the outside) specifically for face off guys. I recommend using 275 paracord instead of sidewall, its a lot easier to fit it through smaller holes more than once, You can also remove or cut off the factory applies aglet on most sidewall strings that come in normal kits and make your own with a lighter, this works too. On your 2F, its looks like the pocket is not broken in yet. I HIGHLY recommend completely and fully breaking in the mesh before ever adding shooters or using it in practice or games. Fully and completely breaking in the pocket should take 60 seconds or less. Good tutorial! Keep it up!

Work on your technique to get all the way over the ball on your initial move because No matter how strong they are they can’t push your head off the ball if you have the clamp without countering! If they want to throw a counter, use that time he takes to initiate his counter move to leave him in the dust and create separation with a good exit! Watch my video on exits to see how you can create this separation efficiently.

    I graduated high school in 1985. I was taught to get my elbows as low as I could get and down the line, power punch, clam, step and escape. Interesting that now with the ‘new’ old rules everyone is standing up with straight arms. Seems weak unless you are super quick.

    • @Tjlax_
      @Tjlax_ Před 4 měsíci

      The longer time has gone on, the more people have realized speed beats strength. Watch pro players like TD or baptiste. Even with the old school stance, arms coiled up and low elbows means i have to unbend my elbows and wrists and push off my feet. That is a ton of wasted motion. Less time unbending means my body is using less motion to get to the ball, which makes it more efficient. Even as a power clamper myself, I know it doesnt matter how strong I am, if i dont get to the ball first my opponent will be gone before I have time to apply strong pressure. (Boxers dont throw quick jabs with bent elbows)

    Hey tj, when you go into your faceoffs, would you recommend knowing what quadrant you are going to exit the ball to before the faceoff or should you exit more by feel after you win control of the ball?

    • @Tjlax_
      @Tjlax_ Před 4 měsíci

      What's up Liam- that is a fantastic question. So the best of the best faceoff guys are REACTIVE, aka they can adapt to whatever their opponent throws at them. In an ideal world you would do a front door exit into quadrant one every time to push fast break and create offense, however sometimes you have a LSM or D-middy playing you that you know will deny the fast break. Because of this, I would say have a quadrant planned out you would LIKE to go to, but NEVER hard commit to that quadrant (always be willing to bail out on that plan). You have to be able to improvise based upon the situation to escape in the direction that is the Safest.

    The only reason I don’t like the elevator drill is becouse it teaches you to bring your left hand up super far on the clamp which is not good. Lower the left hand the better for the most part. Keeps you safe from counters and keeps the ball more secure and lets you get under the opponents top sidewall

    • @Tjlax_
      @Tjlax_ Před 5 měsíci

      I think that is a valid concern. I would argue however that the elevator does not directly encourage the player to raise their left hand, it simply fails to address the habit and is impartial to the problem. This is because if you were to line up as normal with the head on the ground and then clamp using the downward motion which the elevator drill encourages, you will have achieved a clamp with your head flat on the ground before you have the ability to raise your left hand to an unnecessary height. Any motion after this would be easy to point out to the player, which would Segway into an entirely different lesson that I would teach. An example would be if I had a player showing unnecessary left hand motion in their clamp (ie an over emphasized pinch with the left hand too high like you’re saying), I would use an object to hold above the stick as a place marker to avoid hitting. Depends though, as some players can be seen in the NCAA that have styles which utilize the left hand coming up rather than forward or back that have great success. If you were truly worried however, you could use TD’s version where both hands start floating in the air, thus cementing a downward motion in both hands. You could also use another variant I like- the one handed right hand elevator drill that I often use to help players warm up.

    I think the elevator drill vs shooting down the line is a FOA vs FOF deal. My kid has been to both l, and the FOA is all about shooting down the line and the FOF seems to emphasize top rail more. So it makes since you guys differ on that. I feel like you can use botj depending on your opponent.

    • @Tjlax_
      @Tjlax_ Před 7 měsíci

      That is a good observation! many people also notice this about the two big companies, however I think it oversimplifies things quite a bit. for sake of video run time I removed a clip in which I detailed how going down the line is still important, it is the term of "sliding" that most all coaches steer clear from in order to avoid creating friction with the turf. However you are right in that I do believe that it is much easier to teach someone to slam down the line after they already know how to get over the ball (your body is naturally falling that direction in SNG), but it is very difficult to teach someone to get over the ball if they only know how to slam down the line. My next video will detail this, and how getting down the line is important and you should use whatever style you prefer, but if you slam ALL the way down the line before you flip your top side wall, you will inevitibly slide right off your opponents head as they will have already gotten the ball.

      @Tjlax_ Před 9 měsíci

      Haha good question- technically the same way you faceflex any other head, however it just looks different in that the bottomsidewalls kink in much more then the burn or CEO sidewalls do. This makes the faceflex of the mark 2f match less natural than the traditional faceflex heads, but this can be a good thing especially when you want more stiffness in order to keep the top of your head from getting peeled off the ball.
