What are the key features of StringKing Type 4S mesh. How does it compare to previous versions. What benefits does Tri-Twist technology offer for lacrosse players. Why is the 6-month warranty significant for mesh durability.
The Evolution of StringKing Lacrosse Mesh: Introducing Type 4
StringKing has once again pushed the boundaries of lacrosse mesh technology with their latest innovation: Type 4 mesh. This new offering builds upon the success of their previous Type 3 line, introducing significant improvements in weight, strength, and overall performance.
Key Advancements in Type 4 Mesh
- Tri-Twist technology: A revolutionary weave pattern
- Reduced weight: Up to 8 grams lighter than Type 3
- Increased strength: Enhanced durability without sacrificing performance
- Extended warranty: Now backed by a 6-month guarantee
The introduction of Tri-Twist technology marks a significant leap forward in mesh design. This innovative weave pattern allows for a reduction in weight while simultaneously increasing the overall strength of the mesh. The result is a product that feels noticeably lighter in the stick but maintains exceptional durability on the field.
StringKing 4S vs. 4X: Tailoring Performance to Player Preferences
StringKing offers two variants of their Type 4 mesh: 4S (semi-soft) and 4X (semi-hard). Each option caters to different playing styles and pocket preferences.
StringKing 4S: Semi-Soft Excellence
- Weight: 17 grams (8 grams lighter than Type 3S)
- Characteristics: Smoother release, less whip, ideal for gradual incline pockets
- Hold: Relies more on stringing pattern and pocket placement
StringKing 4X: Semi-Hard Performance
- Weight: 19 grams (7 grams lighter than Type 3X)
- Characteristics: Snappier pockets, slight extra tug, great for inclined pockets with pulldowns
- Hold: Offers a bit more hold compared to 4S
The choice between 4S and 4X ultimately comes down to personal preference and playing style. The 4S provides a smoother release and is well-suited for players who prefer a more traditional, gradual pocket. In contrast, the 4X offers a bit more hold and snap, making it ideal for those who like a more defined pocket with additional whip.
Tri-Twist Technology: The Science Behind the Performance
At the heart of StringKing’s Type 4 mesh lies the innovative Tri-Twist technology. This advanced weaving technique represents a significant upgrade from the previous Twistex used in Type 3 mesh.
How does Tri-Twist technology improve mesh performance?
- Reduced fiber count: Fewer fibers result in a lighter overall weight
- Increased strength: The unique weave pattern enhances durability
- Enhanced ball feel: Larger diamonds and reduced material improve touch
- Consistent performance: Maintains the reliability of previous StringKing mesh
The Tri-Twist weave creates a mesh that feels significantly lighter and more responsive than its predecessors. Players often report an improved connection with the ball, allowing for greater control and precision in their game.
The Impact of Weight Reduction in Lacrosse Mesh
One of the most notable improvements in StringKing’s Type 4 mesh is the significant reduction in weight. Both the 4S and 4X variants are substantially lighter than their Type 3 counterparts.
Weight Comparison: Type 4 vs. Type 3
- Type 4S: 17 grams (8 grams lighter than Type 3S)
- Type 4X: 19 grams (7 grams lighter than Type 3X)
This weight reduction may seem minimal on paper, but it can have a significant impact on a player’s performance. A lighter mesh contributes to an overall lighter stick, which can improve stick handling speed, reduce fatigue during extended play, and provide a more responsive feel.
Durability and Warranty: StringKing’s Commitment to Quality
StringKing has demonstrated their confidence in the Type 4 mesh by doubling the warranty period from 3 months to 6 months. This extended guarantee is a testament to the improved durability and performance of the Tri-Twist technology.
Why is the extended warranty significant?
- Increased player confidence: Assurance of long-lasting performance
- Cost-effectiveness: Potential savings on replacement mesh
- Manufacturer accountability: Demonstrates StringKing’s faith in their product
The 6-month warranty provides players with peace of mind, knowing that their investment in premium mesh is protected. It also highlights StringKing’s commitment to producing high-quality, long-lasting lacrosse equipment.
Stringing and Break-In: Optimizing Type 4 Mesh Performance
While Type 4 mesh offers improved performance out of the box, proper stringing and break-in are still crucial for achieving optimal results. The softer nature of Type 4, particularly the 4S variant, may require some adjustment for players accustomed to stiffer mesh.
Tips for stringing and breaking in Type 4 mesh:
- Experiment with different stringing patterns to find your ideal pocket shape
- Allow for a brief break-in period to let the mesh settle into its final form
- Consider your playing style when choosing between 4S and 4X variants
- Utilize the mesh’s characteristics to enhance your shooting and passing
Players may find that Type 4 mesh requires less aggressive breaking in compared to previous versions. The softer feel and improved responsiveness often translate to a shorter adjustment period and quicker optimization of pocket performance.
Player Feedback and Market Reception
Since its release, StringKing’s Type 4 mesh has garnered significant attention from players across all levels of the sport. The reception has been largely positive, with many players praising the improved feel and performance.
Common player observations:
- Noticeable weight reduction leading to improved stick handling
- Enhanced ball feel and control
- Impressive durability despite the lighter construction
- Smooth release and consistent pocket performance
Some players, particularly those who prefer a stiffer pocket, have noted that the 4X variant feels softer than expected. However, many find that this softness contributes to improved overall performance once they adjust their stringing and playing style.
Pricing and Value: Investing in Premium Lacrosse Mesh
StringKing has maintained consistent pricing for their Type 4 mesh, positioning it as a premium product within the lacrosse equipment market.
Current pricing structure:
- Mesh only: $24.99
- Mesh kit (includes stringing materials): $34.99
With the introduction of Type 4, StringKing has also reduced the price of their Type 3 mesh to $19.99, offering a more budget-friendly option for players who prefer the characteristics of the previous generation.
The pricing of Type 4 mesh reflects its position as a top-tier product, featuring the latest advancements in mesh technology. For many players, the improved performance and extended warranty justify the investment in this premium mesh option.
Conclusion: Is StringKing Type 4 Mesh Right for You?
StringKing’s Type 4 mesh represents a significant step forward in lacrosse mesh technology. The introduction of Tri-Twist weaving, substantial weight reduction, and improved durability make it a compelling option for players seeking to optimize their stick performance.
The choice between 4S and 4X variants allows players to select the mesh that best suits their playing style and pocket preferences. While some may find the softer feel an adjustment, many players report improved ball control and a more responsive pocket after a brief break-in period.
Ultimately, the decision to invest in StringKing Type 4 mesh depends on individual player needs and preferences. For those seeking the latest in mesh technology and willing to invest in a premium product, Type 4 offers a range of benefits that can potentially elevate their game to new heights.
As with any equipment change, it’s recommended to test the mesh thoroughly and allow for an adjustment period to fully appreciate the unique characteristics of StringKing’s latest innovation in lacrosse mesh technology.
StringKing Type 4 | Lacrosse Mesh Review
Posted By: Matthew Rode
StringKing Lacrosse brought the heat with Type 4 and the new Tri-Twist technology that has reduced the weight of their mesh while increasing the strength. You also get a 6-month warranty on this lacrosse mesh, so you know that they trust the durability and performance in Type 4 over all other meshes they have created.
The past couple of months, I have been messing around with both the StringKing 4x and 4s lacrosse mesh. You might remember our article on the StringKing Legend Complete lacrosse sticks that we did, and how great they are. In the article, we covered both the StringKing Legend Sr with Type 3s and the StringKing Legend Int with Type 3x. The first part of this review will focus on Type 4 vs. Type 3, using those sticks as a reference. Compared to Type 3x and 3s performance mesh, StringKing has decreased the hardness of both the Type 4x and 4s.
Personally, I felt that this change helps StringKing’s mesh lines; but, other stringers have complained that 4x has become too soft.
STRINGKING 4X AND 4S
The price of the Type 4 mesh has stayed consistent with past product lines, coming in at $24.99 for just the mesh and $34.99 for the mesh kit; which also bumped down Type 3 mesh to $19.99. If the new Type 4’s have become too soft for you, then you can now save some money on your preferred mesh. Just like how Type 3 improved upon the weave from TITE Tech to Twistex, Type 4 upgraded from Twistex to Tri-Twist Tech.
Compare and Contrast- Twistex vs Tri-Twist
Once you feel Tri-Twist from Type 4 you instantly think that Type 3 feels cheap and heavy. It’s a strange realization, but you also feel yourself doubting your newfound opinion. Twistex mesh is still a high-quality product, yet when compared to Tri-Twist it seems like a $5 piece of mesh from the clearance bin. The extra light and extra strong construction of Type 4 mesh brings the same consistency of Type 3, just with a superior feel.
Your connection to the ball is increased through a lack of extra fibers and the slightly bigger diamonds. Overall, you get the best qualities of Twistex with Tri-Twist, but you discover that less is more.
StringKing 4s Semi-Soft Lacrosse Mesh on Epoch Prequel
- Less whip than Type 4x, due to the give of the mesh being less
- Smoother release with less give in the pocket eliminating the tug factor
- The hold really comes from your pattern and pocket placement, not the elasticity of mesh
- Works well with gradual incline pockets for that true release shooter
- 17 Grams compared to type 3s which was 25 grams (8 grams lighter)
- 6 Month Warranty compared to the 3-month warranty on Type 3s (amazing)
StringKing 4x Semi-Hard Lacrosse Mesh on Warrior Evo 4x
- Snappy pockets with a little extra tug work great with Type 4x
- Little more hold than Type 4s, with a more inclined pocket with pulldowns
- 19 Grams compared to type 3x which was 26 grams (7 grams lighter)
- 6 Month Warranty compared to the 3-month warranty on Type 3x (still amazing)
Final Thoughts – Type 4 Performance Mesh Review
Type 4x by StringKing easily hit my expectations compared to past product releases.
Prior to the launch of Type 4, I always preferred the semi-soft version of StringKing’s mesh. The previous semi-hard performance mesh tended to be a little stiff for my preference at first; but, after a solid month or two of use, it would break-in. With the release of Type 4 performance mesh, my preference has shifted towards the semi-hard version for a couple of reasons. While I can see how others may call type 4 “too soft”, the advancements they have made really fit my stringing and playing style. I also think that the softness is just a result of the mesh’s reduced weight and upgraded weave. Type 4 is an easy recommendation that has continued the excellence of StringKing’s mesh game.

Type 4s Lacrosse Mesh
The new standard for performance lacrosse mesh. Designed to be lighter, tighter, and thinner, Type 4 delivers faster shots, more control, and better feel.
– Semi-soft
– 17 grams
– For players who prefer a softer, shifting pocket with increased feel
Why StringKing Type 4?
Introducing Tri-Twist.
New Tri-Twist technology makes Type 4 the most advanced mesh ever. Twisting three individual fibers before weaving them together increases feel and control, reduces weight, and gives you faster shots.
Unmatched control. Tri-Twist gives Type 4 the perfect amount of texture and elasticity. Experience more feel and control than ever before.
A more responsive pocket. The channel of Type 4 has a slightly thinner construction than the outer rails. This creates a pocket that reacts to your play to keep the ball right where you want it.
Faster shots. Type 4 is StringKing’s thinnest and lightest mesh yet. It forms a versatile, responsive pocket for better ball control and increases head speed for more powerful shots.
Generations of performance. StringKing spent over 2 years working on Type 4, rebuilding their manufacturing from the ground up. The result is the most advanced and highest-performing mesh money can buy.

The implementation of construction and finishing work on the outside of the building is accompanied by a double higher danger, both for the worker and for the persons passing by. In this regard, mesh facade is by far the best solution that allows each construction organization to provide the best conditions within the framework of state regulatory legal acts on labor safety and the protection of the natural environment with minimal costs of its own funds.
Facade mesh must be installed at the initial preparatory stage after the installation of scaffolding. Grid is resistant to stretching and mechanical damage at high temperatures, for example, does not burn with a flame. The molecular structure of the fibers consists of more than ninety percent adapted polyethylene, which, in turn, has excellent light transmission parameters, which allows you to work until late in the evening without the additional use of electrical lighting devices. The patented weaving technology makes it easy to make cuts of the required length using a knife or scissors, without subsequent deformation of the fabric structure.
Our company in the city of Krasnodar allows everyone to purchase a protective mesh that will completely prevent dust fractions or hazardous pollutants from entering the environment. When using it, the factor of loss of tools and personal belongings is completely excluded. Our product range includes products from leading developers and manufacturers, which allows you to get an additional guarantee of the best price-quality ratio.
