When you think of Brooklyn the Cross, you think of thrown the cross. When you think of thrown the cross, you think of Joe. He's done a lot for the game, he's an excellent stringer, and here he is explaining this week's competition. I'm Joe Williams, the founder of Throw in the Cross, and we are the premier stringing provider based out of Brooklyn, New York. For our contest for season two we are featuring our new stringing system fiber. The thing that's so cool about it is made from a single proprietary fiber for the entire thing. So the mesh, the sidewall, and also the shooters. So what you guys need to do is pick one item from each of the fiber boxes and string your best stick. So that includes one piece of mesh, one sidewall string, and one shooter. Why I think our challenge is a good one and is a challenge is because you have to only use one sidewall, one piece of mesh, and one shooter. And the idea is the F from the fiber logo is made from one line going through that makes an F. It makes something cop kid up something so simple. And the winner of our week is going to win the entire fiber line. So if we make it and it has the fiber logo on it, you're going to win one of it, and we'll probably sprinkle in some other things that we haven't even released yet. Now that we know what these guys are up against, let's see what it is they created this week. Hey guys, Joe from Throwin' Here, and right now we're going to pick the winner of the first challenge of season two of Strigley. First off, I want to thank all the stringers for their hard work testing out our new fiber system, and really offering five great entries that are very unique. They made this quite difficult, but nonetheless we got to do it. Number five, we have Nick Lack strings. This one is definitely a unique concept, but kind of veered away a little bit from the actual challenge, and cutting the mesh and doing some stuff like that. It just wasn't really what we were looking for. We were looking for more of a focus on actual sidewall string technique, more so than trying to incorporate it into a different kind of understanding of how to use it. Number four, we have Jack stringing. My favorite part of what he did was he used multiple sidewall holes with looping to do the actual attaching of the mesh to the sidewall, which I thought was unique and interesting, but that's kind of where it stopped for me. It was pretty basic. The other thing he started in one corner kind of went around, which made a little bit different, but it just didn't really stand out to me. I think if he used that looping method, it was a little bit more aggressive, more deliberate matter. He would have had better results. Number three, we have lacrosse works. This one was super clean, but had a few issues with just in terms of the wool. So he didn't use any shooters, actually, I think he tried, or he gave himself a harder project by not using any shooters and using the sidewall as a unique concept. And also the top string. I like that he did the drop, it's challenging, but it was a little bit heavy. It seemed a little bit unnecessary. I think if he cleaned that up a little bit and then used the shooters, he would have had a good chance of playing. And number two, we have Richie B. My favorite thing about this was that he did a drop top with two strings, but it was actually only made from one string. So figuring that out was definitely difficult. And then making that function is even more difficult. He really had a stick that was dialed in for him right off the bat. Using a different type of product, but the fiber using a different head each probably hasn't used. And putting that all together in a funky pocket and making it work immediately, could those, that's pretty awesome. And the winner of the Throne Challenge's FL Stranger, he absolutely did everything perfect in my mind. Super clean, super functional, and had really elegant unique details. The top string was just perfect in my mind. And I think everyone noticed that shoe or cord kind of beat, act and took a second take and trying to figure out what exactly he did. Never standing like that and manipulated the side wall into the other parts of the fiber system, which is kind of a big narrative there. The other thing I really liked was that he took a face off head, took our challenge, which really had nothing to do with the head or facing off, but incorporated the fact that it's a face off head and make a face off pocket with it. I think anyone who pick up a news was awesome. So amazing job, absolutely amazing job. Congratulations, man. That wraps up our first week of competition. We're going to send this all the way to the other side of the country to Tom Layden at Red Star LaCross. Here he is to tell you what's coming up next week. I'm Tom Lidine from Red Star LaCross. And next week on String League, we're going to challenge our stringers to get weird. We're going to use the wrong tools for the job from a hardware store. And she had started, we're going to see some creativity, some innovation, flat out, strange things. I'm excited. Until next time, guys, keep your string going. Take care. Keep laxied.
