About StringDex

Stringing Is an Art.

Unlike other sports, lacrosse is unique because of stringing. A single string added to a pocket can positively or negatively affect performance — making the pocket a place of craft, not just function.

Lacrosse stringing is one of the oldest art forms traceable to North America. The ingenuity, creativity, and dedication to the craft have been passed down for centuries. StringDex is our commitment to preserving and growing that knowledge for the modern game.
