STRINGING RECIPE

STRINGING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Attach Valkyrie Runner: Anchor the Valkyrie Runner to the scoop using a top string. Center it precisely and pull it taut to create a clean, symmetrical channel that drives the ball into the sweet spot.
2. Install Sidewalls (Purple HT): Lace the sides of the head using Purple HT sidewall strings. Maintain even tension on both sides to frame the pocket and support consistent ball control.
3. Add Bottom String (Purple HT): Secure the base of the runner with your Purple HT bottom string. This defines the pocket’s depth and helps shape the release point for quick, accurate passes.
4. Weave Crosslace Through Runner (Purple HT): Using 36″ Purple HT crosslace, weave through the sidewall holes and Valkyrie Runner loops. Keep tension uniform to lock in the runner and enhance feel and responsiveness.
5. Install Shooting Strings (Purple HT): Add Purple HT shooting strings in a straight or hybrid U-pattern. These boost snap, reduce whip, and give the head a crisp, polished look.
6. Fine-Tune & Break: In Adjust channel tightness and pocket depth to your preference. Break in the pocket with light wall ball or a mesh-molding ball to achieve a smooth release and game-ready performance.
