What. A. Year. I couldn’t have had this awesome of a time getting to meet and talk with so many people without you guys. Getting to have conversations with such kind and passionate people and shipping heads locally, around Ohio, around the US, across the border, and even across the pond has made this year exceptional. Shoutout to @lacrossemonkey , @iconiclax , @ecdlax , @stxmlax + @nikelacrosse , and @loadinglacrosse for allowing me to be a kid that is fascinated by lacrosse gear and test things our first hand, having and creating relationships with you guys has been a DREAM! I wanted to take a chance to tell my story and show that I am really not that special, I just love the game, I’m curious about how to string sticks so they work better, and I want to leave things better than I found them. This is my Uzumaki Stringing story head. I have a turtle on the front middle of my scoop because I’ve always loved turtles and the first stick I bought was the @kyleharrison18 K18 complete stick which had a turtle embossed on the front of his head and turtles that decorated the shaft. I loved how he put little flairs of his story all over his stick. I have #15 because that’s my current jersey number. 2015 is when I first started playing with a lacrosse stick (I did wall ball for 1.5 years and I played my first lacrosse game freshman year of college cause I was fixing my shoulders and knees in HS) #36 was my college number at @xavieruniversity I have the @moellerhs emblem cause that’s where I went to HS and was introduced to lacrosse by a good friend @graham_j16 @xu_lacrosse logo because I played club lax for 4 years @rhinegeist logo because Team Rhinegeist was the first men’s league team I played for in summer of 2017 and they gave me the amazing community that I have now (they go by @trashpandaslax ). @shootoutforsoldiers / @sfsohio logo because they hosted the first summer tournament I played at ever! (+ I got to work with them and do some giveaways for their last SFS event) @tl_cincinnati logo cause they were the first team to reach out and ask me to coach for them. I then did a @dandydyes 2-tone font on the scoop. #uzumaki #stringing #uzumakistringing

🌲Roll Woods🌲 Artistically this might be my favorite head I’ve done in a long time. I was asked to do a @pllredwoods head for a friend’s son for Christmas and I can’t wait for him to get this thing. Dyed up this @maveriklacrosse Tank 2.0 with @laxdipdye and strung the @themeshdynasty 10D mesh up @stringsbyjp #insidegrainbag style. Shout out to @landgraf.kj for supplying the mesh, it was almost impossible to find this colorway! Hoping TMD decides to make more of this mesh color in the future. I can’t wait to see this guy lay the lumber with this once he gets it, believe it!👍🏼🍥

Huge shoutout to @ecdgreg @ecdmike @lando_504 and @ecdbrian32 for making my visit to @ecdlax HQ incredible. Greg’s stringing videos of his Lakota were what got me into stringing so I fangirled HARD when I got to talk to the ECD staff. Like being met at the door by Mike was insane, first, dude is TALL! Second, he’s super nice, super knowledgeable about everything happening at ECD, and just dropped what he was doing to show me around and introduce me to everyone! Got to see some super sick future products they’re working on, @ecdbrian32 and I got to have a toss and shoot session on THE TURF, I burned a hole in my wallet buying mesh (shoutout to @macharsky93 for the hookup, dude is a legend)… just a GREAT day, believe it!👍🏼🍥 #👍🏼 #🍥 #👍🏼🍥 #believeit #uzumaki #stringing #uzumakistringing #lax #lacrosse #ecd #ecdlax #ecdlacrosse #ecdnation #ecdheromesh #ecdhero3 #pll #nll #hardworkpaysoffs #hwpo #cincinnati #maryland #ohio #ohiolax #ncaalax #ncaalacrosse #collegelacrosse #collegelax #hslacrosse #highschoollacrosse #highschoollax

Head 2/2 for @tptlacrosse . For this OG @nikelacrosse CEO, we made it into a faceoff head so I strung it to the outside and we used @stringking 4S mesh to make it soft enough to use as a fogo. I remember this head being THE faceoff head in 2020/2021 but oh how things have changed. I still thing it’s a sick head though, believe it! 👍🏼🍥 Hit the link in my bio to get these and other dope gear from Lacrosse Monkey! #uzumakistringing #nike #nikelacrosse #stringking #skmark4s

Son stills of the dope complete full stick @drew.kellogg.70 won from the @yardsalelc x @moroathletics x @uzumaki_stringing giveaway. Drew wanted a head strung like his current defensive setup so I strung the @warriorlax Evo V with a 3 point liberty topstring and strung the @ecdlax Hero 4 mesh to the inside with a pattern similar to his Tank 2.0. This combo is gonna be a beast on the field, believe it!👍🏼🍥 Hit the link in my bio to get these and other dope gear from Lacrosse Monkey! #uzumakistringing #growthegame #warriorlacrosse #ecdlax #yardsale

@yardsalelc x @moroathletics x @uzumaki_stringing New complete stick heading to giveaway winner @drew.kellogg.70 Thank you to everyone that supported the giveaway, it really means a lot to all of us that worked together to make it happen. #lacrosse #lax #boxlacrosse #ferda #growthegame

Welcome to Team Uzumaki Stringing @marshallslamka7 ! Marshall reached out after seeing me hook up one of his teammates and was wanting a setup like his Tank 2.0 but a skinnier head so we got him hooked up with a @maveriklacrosse Havok 2.0 dyed up with @ritdye Kentucky Sky Blue and Navy Blue, and paired with @ecdlax LE Hero 4 mesh in an inside-standard pocket. He said he was wanting a pocket to give him more control and allow him to pull off more fun moves on the field so hoping this setup helps him accomplish that, believe it! 👍🏼🍥 Hit the link in my bio to get these and other dope gear from Lacrosse Monkey! #uzumakistringing #maverik #havok2 #ecdlax #ecdhero4

@moroathletics x @yardsalelc x @uzumaki_stringing Congrats to the winner @drew.kellogg.70 ! Today I’m sending out his complete YardsaleTZ + @warriorlax Evo V head setup to get him ready for box season (or even field if he wants to take a run at shorty). The TZ Matte red shaft has a sweet red-white them and well as the strung head. Pretty dope complete stick if I do say so myself. Thank you to @zkraymond letting me be part of project #growthegame #uzumakistringing #moroathletics #yardsale #boxlacrosse

Had the pleasure of working with some OG beauties thanks to @tptlacrosse . He sent me 2 @nikelacrosse CEO heads, and wanted this one to be strung with a mid-high shooter’s pocket using some mystery mesh in the process that was in the box he sent. The mesh had a semi-waxed feel but it was still pretty smooth and a little shifty. I hope he enjoys this setup down in Florida and hopefully the heat doesn’t warp this baby too quick, believe it! 👍🏼🍥 Hit the link in my bio to get these and other dope gear from Lacrosse Monkey! #uzumakistringing #nikelacrosse #nike #ceo #florida

Had the pleasure of getting @jimmycarter2470 dialed with new pocket for his @stxmlax Stallion 1K! He sent this head to me and asked for a similar pocket to his last one but we pivoted to @jimaworld 10D mesh instead of SK Type 3S so I’m intrigued to see what he thinks of the difference. Hopefully this passes the test and he’s rocking a pocket that works for him for @mhseagleslacrosse @laxmilford . Always a blast helping out kids from where I grew up, especially studs like Jimmy, believe it! 👍🏼🍥 Hit the link in my bio to get these and other dope gear from Lacrosse Monkey! #uzumakistringing #stx #stxstallion #stallion1k #milford

Holy crap @stxmlax !! Thank you so much for the sweet care package! I had no idea this was coming and I still don’t know when they’re releasing this 😅 Without further a-dew, welcome the Hammer 2K to the Basement Lax Shop 👍🏼🍥 Upon further inspection, it’s like the X20 and Magnet 2K had a baby. It’s got some Strike Plates where the X20 had ridges, similar strut design to the Magnet, and slightly longer flare to increase knock-down-passes surface area. Still feels relatively light and WICKED strong 💪🏼 believe it! 👍🏼🍥 #stxmlax #stxhammer #hammerdown #stxhammer2k #hammer2k

@joey_s_iv is back in action folks! 💪🏼 Joey was smacking people around this spring with his @stringking 3D to the point that it broke, so we used their warranty to get a fresh one. This time however, he wanted to try out the new @ecdlax 7D Hero 4 so I went with a standard mid pocket since he’s great with GBs but also like to sling absolute rockets top cheddar 🧀 I hope Joey likes the switch and I can’t wait to see how he continues to do with @lasalle_lacrosse and @cincinnatitruelacrosse , believe it!👍🏼🍥 Hit the link in my bio to get these and other dope gear from Lacrosse Monkey! #uzumakistringing #stringking #mark3d #ecdlax #ecd7d
