We are very proud of our new Major League Lacrosse licensed Pro Mesh and are excited to give players the confidence that they are using the best materials in the world, from a company with a 20 year history of exceling at developing innovative sporting goods accessories," said Russ Grodin, VP of Marketing at A&R Sports.

Their mission is to create seamless bonds between player and stick through the utilization of Throne premium stringing products! "Throne of String has been building up to this moment for a long time. The only better feeling would be suiting up and taking the field, myself," said Joe Williams, Principal at Throne of Strings.
"String King's overarching goal has been to engineer ""the best pockets in lacrosse'". Along the way, we have had to develop a standard stringing language, manufacture our own mesh strings, and laces using patent-pending processes of the highest precision, and create an eight-step tutorial program from scratch,' said Operations Manager, Trevor Wilkerson. "String King is proud to partner with the MLL for the 2015 season. We've always taken pride in supplying the best players with our products."
