I've seen a few different digital camouflage dye jobs recently, including the awesome Boston Cannons one done by Sebastian Olsen last week. It motivated me to post the pictures I had of a dye job I began in June of last year. This is my take on the Digi-Camo dye.

Mohawk Topstring

By Lacrosse Playground | August 11, 2010 |
The Mohawk topstring is another version of the Iroquois topstring that is used by a lot of guys at Onandaga. The Thompson brothers are the two names that keep coming up as the inventors here, so guys, thanks for leading the way. This time around I have yet another way to string your mesh topstring, and I call it the Mohawk. Like the others, this topstring is perfect for attackmen that want a super quick release and no whip. The one that I have strung is made to be a low but fast pocket, however as a middie I don't think that I could play with this because of the release point. Anyway, on to the part you're really here for.

It's summer time, giving us a lot more time at the pool, and a lot more free time to string up some sticks. This week, I combined the two, giving you yet another way to string up your top strings. A lot of questions came in on the Choctaw, and this week I can answer them.

McCool has been using the Gait Shockwave on and off since high school.
