Collection: Lacrosse Shooting Strings

Lacrosse shooting strings set how the ball leaves your stick. Hockey lace and Level 6 strings grip more and add hold, while nylon is smoother and releases faster. Most players run two or three across the top of the pocket, plus a V or U.

Choose your shooting strings

• Hockey lace and Level 6 strings for more grip and hold.
• Nylon strings for a smooth, faster release.
• A variety of colors, textures and materials.
• Women's shooting strings in 14 colors.

How shooting strings change your release

Because each material grips the ball differently, the string you pick changes your shot. For example, if you want maximum hold, choose hockey lace or Level 6. If you want a soft feel or a snappy whip, try nylon. In addition, lacrosse shooting strings patterns, such as straight shooters, a V or a U, also change how the ball leaves the pocket. Our guide, Lacrosse Shooting Strings Explained, covers this in more depth.

Finish your pocket

However, shooting strings are only one part of the setup. For example, you can shop nylon lacrosse strings by themselves, or get everything in one box with our lacrosse stringing kits. You can also compare every option in our lacrosse mesh collection, and the lacrosse mesh guide on Stringers Society explains how each type plays. If you would rather not string it yourself, our lacrosse stringing service can do it for you. Pick your lacrosse shooting strings above and open any product to see its colors.
