identifying the materials
Sidewall string / Top string - The Brine sidewall string in
this manual should measure between 22 or 24 inches in
length. The top string should measure 22 inches in length.
Pocket Piece - injection molded track.
Leathers - 2 white leather pieces. Each piece has a
smooth side and a coarse side.
Cross lacing - The brine cross lacing in this manual
should be composed of (2) 80 inch nylon pieces.
Lacrosse Head - Brine lacrosse heads are top of the
line and have all the string holes needed for successful
stringing with this manual.
SIDEWALL STRING
Take one of the midsized nylon
sidewall strings, and tie a knot in
the end.
Push the un-knotted end of
the sidewall string through
the 2nd stringing hole from
the top.

Skip one hole on the inside
of the sidewall and string
through the following hole to
the outside of the plastic.
Repeat this process all the way
down the sidewall until you
reach the 2nd to last stringing
hole in the sidewall.
From the outside, string back
in through the skipped hole to
continue the sidewall stringing
process.
Tie off your knot tightly on the
outside of the plastic. Repeat
this entire process on the
opposite sidewall.
Top String & POCKET PIECE
Tie a knot in your remaing
midsized nylon.
From the back of the head, push
the unkotted end of the top string
through the top string hole closest
to the scoop.
Travel to the 3rd hole in the
scoop and loop in and around
the scoop, and string through.
Cross over the nylon when
coming around the bottom of
the scoop.

Next, string through the pocket
piece.
String through the same scoop
hole, from the back to the front.
Travel behind the nylon as you
head up to the next string hole.
This should create a hitch knot that attaches your pocket piece
to the scoop. From the front of the head your string should look
like this.
(CONT)
Repeat this process to attach the
other side of the pocket piece.
Once the pocket piece is secured,
string through the top string hole
in the sidewall.
Tie your knot tightly.

Leathers
Next, feed the tip of the leather
With the smooth side facing
you feed the tip of the leather in down through the first slit of the
leather.
through the first scoop hole.
Pull the leather all the way through the slit, leaving a small amount
of slack where the leather meets the scoop so you can string your
cross lacing through it.
Leathers (cont)
Pull the leather down through
the inner throat hole on the
corresponding side.
Repeat this process to attach
the second leather piece.
*note* Tying your pocket nylons and excess
leathers around the front of the throat will
help keep everything tight while stringing
the cross lace.
CROSS LACING
Take one of your 80in cross lace pieces and feed it through the
leather, where you left space at the scoop. Tighten your leather
piece so there is no room between the leather and the scoop.
Make sure you have an even amount of cross lace on both sides.
CROSS LACING (CONT)
Using the left side of your cross
lace, string down through the 1st
ghille lace.
Cross over the leather and loop
around the back.
When traveling to the next Ghillie lace, string over the cross lace.
CROSS LACING (CONT)
Repeat this process all the way
down. Make sure to evenly space
your cross lacing around the
leathers so that your loops fall in
the middle of the Ghillie laces.
Once you pass through the
last Ghillie lace, feed through
the same hole as your pocket
runner and secure a knot.
With the other half of your
cross lace piece, string up
through the sidwall string.
When traveling toward your
leather, string behind of the
cross lace.
CROSS LACING (CONT)
Continue underneath the
leather and string up through
the hole that the opposite side
of the cross lacing created.
Pull through, and travel
underneath the cross lace to
start this process again.

Before moving on, check the
front of your stick to make sure
your lacing has laid flat against
your leather.
Make sure to keep even tension
all the way down. When you
reach the bottom, string trough
the last hole in the sidewall and
secure your knot.
*note* Repeat this identical process on the
opposite side.

SHOOTING STRINGS
(ToP SHOOTER)
Starting on the left hand of the side of the head, pull your shooter
through 2nd hole from the top in the sidewall. Make sure the string
is even on both sides.
Start with the bottom piece,
travel over the cross lace,
behind the leather, over the
cross lace, and continue behind
the pocket piece as a whole.
*note* When you come back through with the
top piece you will create a twist between the
pocket piece.
SHOOTING STRINGS

lace, and over the leather.

and over the pocket piece
Loop under the shooter and
over the pocket piece.

Strarting from the right side. (Depending on what head you are
stringing, there should be 6 to 7 holes separating the top shooting
string and the starting point of your U shooter) Feed through and
pull the shooter so it is even on both sides.
*note* you can string from the left side
here if you prefer.
Take your bottom piece and
travel over the cross lace and
under the leather.
*note* Make sure your U shooters tay above the
the 2nd row of Ghillie laces.
U-Shooter (CONTINUED)
Travel over the cross lace, under the leather and string
through the sidewall.
*note* Same process here as with the
top string, the twist will be created
when the bottom string travels
through.
Take your top piece and travel
under the cross lace and over
the leather.
Continue under the cross lace
and over the pocket piece.
U-Shooter (CONT.)
Loop under the shooter between the pocket piece to create your
twist, and continue over the pocket piece.

over the leather and under the
cross lace one the last time.
