StringKing Type 5 (Semi-Soft & Semi Hard / Mesh & Mesh KIts)

StringKing Type 5 lacrosse mesh is one of the most popular men's meshes in the game, and you can choose between two stiffness options. Type 5s is semi-soft, while Type 5x is semi-hard. Both come in white or black, as mesh only or as a mesh kit.

Mesh stiffness changes how a pocket breaks in and holds its shape. Semi-soft mesh breaks in faster and gives a forgiving, easy-to-catch pocket. In contrast, semi-hard mesh takes a little longer to break in but holds a defined channel longer. As a result, many attackmen like 5s for feel, while many middies and defenders like 5x for consistency.

Options:

• Type 5s: semi-soft, quicker break-in
• Type 5x: semi-hard, holds shape longer
• Colors: white or black
• Mesh: the mesh piece only
• Mesh Kit: mesh plus strings to finish a pocket
• Price: $30.99

Which should you pick? First, choose 5s if you want a pocket that feels great right away. Second, choose 5x if you play in wet weather or want a channel that lasts. Finally, ask us if you're not sure.

How to string it: first, string the sidewall and top string. Next, set your channel and bottom string. Finally, add shooters and break it in with wall ball. Not a stringer? Find a certified stringer.
