Grip ‘N Rip: Major League Lacrosse All-Star Mike Stone

Grip 'N Rip: Major League Lacrosse All-Star Mike Stone

Earlier today, we posted an exclusive interview with Boston Cannons’ Mike Stone. Stone answered questions about everything from music to his “day job.” Read the Mike Stone interview…

Below is an excerpt from the interview in which Stone explains his grip ‘n rip setup for his stick, especially the magical mesh he uses.

Can you please describe your stick and stringing preferences? What’s your head and pocket type? We know you use StringKing Performance Mesh, what sold you on that compared to everything else out there?

The stick that I use is the Brine Witness with a Warrior Diamond shaft. I’m hooked on StringKing mesh and use their H1 pocket. I’ve never used whip in my sticks so I keep a fairly shallow pocket and loose shooting strings. I started using StringKing when they offered to string me a stick so I could try it. It’s the first mesh I’ve used that I feel comfortable playing with in all conditions, and it has never bagged out on me.
