How do you tighten a lacrosse stick?

Throwing with a goalie stick should be done in an overhand motion. The release point would be just past the shoulder at 11 o'clock. The difficulty comes in when the stick is strung incorrectly. This is the case with most off the shelf sticks. You want a stringing done so that you have a deep pocket (to catch) and a tight top (to throw). The best way to string is for all the sidewall being taught and when you get to the bottom string locate that string through 2-4 diamonds below where the last sidewall string went through. This allows for a deep pocket down low and slowly rises to a taught mesh towards the top, allowing the ball to roll from the pocket to the shooting strings with ease. Lastly the shooting strings. If you feel the ball bump off the last shooting string then it is too close to the pocket side, move it up a diamond, or remove it all together. I find two shooting strings works best and I do not bother with that 3rd U or V string. With a well done string job it is not needed.
