Looking to revitalize a classic stick? The Brine RP3, once a favorite of Rob Pannell, may no longer be legal in competitive leagues, but that doesn’t mean it can’t still tear up the field in casual play. Let’s explore a custom stringing pattern that brings new life to this vintage head.
Upgrading Your Brine RP3
Transforming your Brine RP3 from a relic into a backyard beast doesn’t break the bank. Let’s break down the costs for materials and stringing. Then, we’ll dive into the specific stringing pattern that will take your RP3 to the next level.
The Right Materials Make the Difference
Choosing the right materials is key to getting the most of your freshly strung RP3. Here’s why I selected these items for the build:
- Stringers Shack G3 Mesh: Dependable, affordable option with a good balance of feel and hold.
- LaxRoom Shooting Strings/Cords: Quality at a great value for enhancing shot power.
- LaxRoom Premium Sidewalls: Durable, providing a consistent pocket shape over time.
Important Note: When choosing materials for your own project, consider your playing style and preferences. There are many great options available, so feel free to experiment!
