IN THE CAGE: StringKing Mark 2A 

Agreed

In the video, I said that it might be a new revolutionary plastic because it feels different but its difference does not feel premium.

Jake McCampbell PREACH BROTHER

Jake McCampbell agreed. Sort of a silly review. Simply can't agree with anything stated!

I use one when I play middie... usually I’m a goalie... and I love it😂... don’t blame the wand young blood

yes

exactly.

Looking forward to hearing what you guys think!

Lordy. This is like three gangs meeting up in a dark alley xD

Haha reminds us of the brawl from Anchorman!

oh wow look who entered the party

exactly what I was thinking :D

thank you

Thomas Salter amen. I have the 2a and I actually think it facilitates catching more because of the wider face shape. I stopped watching joe because of this crap review.

thank you

Catching has everything to do with the geometry of the head because the geometry dictates the pocket. Try to comprehend what the 3 design axes does to a flat piece of mesh when pulled in two directions. Don't think SK would be too happy if I abused the head and screw to test my concerns. So we are left with "seems like". Thank you for your feedback.

We don't mind at all! That's why we send heads out for reviews, so people can test them and give their opinions. We aren't asking for them back so they're yours to do with as you please. We'd much rather you put them through the ringer, abuse them, and put them through more than they'd probably go through in a game to get real results rather than "seems like" opinions. "Seems like" can be really deceiving. And when it comes to the sidewall holes, we definitely think more is better. There's absolutely some validity to the idea that more holes can be a little daunting to a new stringer, but we definitely think giving stringers and players more freedom outweighs that. Especially since uSTRING is always free online and we have a customer service line dedicated to helping people string. As far as bottom holes go, lots of people have problems with those but we don't really understand why they're such a big problem. Our prestrung Mark 1s and Mark 2s have essentially the same bottom string despite the different holes setups. But the holes on the Mark 2 lend themselves to traditional or to more creative bottom strings. But constructive criticism is how we get better!

Also, the channeled low pocket used in this video makes the top of the pocket really tight. That's why we don't recommend tight channels, especially for low pockets. And that's why we don't really have tight channels on uSTRING. They can look great and they have some benefit, but over-channeling can cause pretty significant problems, like the catching issues seen here.

The pocket used in the video has the same pattern as the ustring low in the Mark 2. Only differences are the first loop is up a hole, it finishes with a ji and the stringing materials.

Interesting, the prestrung 2A's we have here don't have much of a channel. But the point remains, if you think the tight mesh at the top is affecting your catching, we provided people with the tools they need (i.e. 29 holes, uSTRING, etc.) to make the necessary adjustments. "Preference is Everything" is an underlying theme in our second generation of products, and we highly encourage anyone to utilize the versatility of our offerings to find a head/pocket/shaft combo that works for the way they play.

Kyle Shalati you're right, the 2D came out a little lighter than we anticipated and when we got the final product we realized we could have added a few grams to beef it up even more while staying as one of the lightest D heads on the market. But we don't anticipate the plastic or warping being a big problem. We did a lot of searching for really high quality plastics and we're happy with what we settled on. Not sure why it's seeming cheap or brittle or low-quality to some people, but we expect it's on-field performance to alleviate those concerns. Making the locking bolt slightly easier to use is something we're looking into based on feedback, but it shouldn't be too tricky. You just have to make sure the head is all the way onto the shaft and the bolt is going in straight and it should slip right in there. Thanks for the feedback though! It's important to hear from real customers so we can keep getting better!

StringKing Ok thanks for the feedback, love your stuff. Keep up the good work!!

Kyle Shalati I don't really see the problem if they made a really light and durable head that's what they were going for and if it's not warped I'm confused y ur complaining about the weight

Im worried it will warp thats all.

That is the plan but we wanted to use the SK bolt without having to drill my current gamer.

IMO the Mark 2 is better than the Mark 1.

Dominic Thomas the Mark 2 was heavier and wider. The 2A really is an ideal attack head

On it!

I'm Irish.

They are very expensive like 300 plus

Yes. Manufacturers got upset so we stopped...

worse for gbs better for ball control. Thats at least what they claim
