The first step in stringing a lacrosse goalie stick is to pull the second diamond in your lacrosse mesh down as far as you can. This was the third sidewall hole on this warrior head shown in the picture.

As I said above, a tight top string is one of the keys to a great lacrosse goalie pocket. So, when your pulling down the third row in your lacrosse mesh, you will probably have to skip two holes. After that, only skip one hole per diamond until you reach the midpoint of your lacrosse head.
