What head and shaft are you using?
It is the UA Charge U on a Baltiflage scandium.
That’s a gnarly dye, who did it?
The dye is done by Grunt Lacrosse.
What kind of pocket are you using?
I use String King medium mesh with two shooters and no nylon. I used to play with more whip, but since being here at UMD, I have taken some out so that I can get the ball out of my stick quicker.
I like a mid-high pocket strung up by Timmy Monahan, who is a freshman here at UMD. I can string, but don't like stringing my own sticks, I'm weird about that.
Do you have any superstitions?
I don't like to put my stick under the bus when traveling. When I put it down the pocket has to be facing up.
You had to adjust to the 2013 NCAA stringing rules, how did you do it?
I adjusted by taking the U out and at first I used only 1 shooter but once I got to college I started using a shooter and a nylon. Now I use 2 shooters.
