Whether it’s your opening faceoff or triple OT in the championship, you can trust the Mark 2G to come through with the same crisp passing, lights-out shooting and vice-like ball control that are its hallmarks.
Ultimate Durability for Longevity
All the performance in the world means little if your head can’t withstand the rigors of competition. Lacrosse is a game of sticks slamming, bodies banging and harsh weather. A flimsy head won’t last long before warping and wearing down. Not so with the StringKing 2G. This head is made exceptionally durable, constructed from the strongest materials that maintain their shape over time. While lesser heads dent, deform and sag quickly, the 2G withstands season after season of action. Its longevity saves you money on replacements while providing reliable results. Choose durability over gimmicks and invest in a Mark 2G.
Weather & Temperature Resistant
Lacrosse is played through sun, wind, rain and everything in between. As the weather fluctuates, so can the performance of your gear. Materials expand and warp as temperatures rise, compromising your precision. Not with the StringKing Mark 2G. This head maintains its crisp shape and flex points across all weather conditions. The focused channeled design and reinforced materials prevent warping on hot days or in the rain. While extreme temps throw off other heads, the 2G continues delivering money passes and shots regardless. Don’t let the weather dictate your game – get the all-conditions advantage of a Mark 2G.
Minimal Warping Over Time
After a long hard season of play, even the best lacrosse heads start to lose their shape. The sidewalls flare less, the pocket slackens and shots start sailing. While a slight break-in period is expected, rapid warping hampers your performance and requires premature replacement. The StringKing 2G endures far longer thanks to its weather-resistant materials and expert construction. Season after season, the head retains its quick release, stiff scoop and ideal flex points. When other heads go soft, the 2G keeps its crisp, deadly-accurate shot right to the very end. Stay one step ahead of warping and watch your game prosper.
Ideal For All Player Positions
Versatility is a highly underrated asset for lacrosse heads. While most gear is specialized for certain positions, the best excel across the board. That flexible utility is a strong suit of the StringKing Mark 2G. Whether you’re an attackman, midfielder or defenseman, this head optimizes your game. The scoop and channel construction ensure midfielders can dish the hot feeds they’re known for. Attackmen will add velocity on their cannons. Defensemen can rocket clear passes upfield. Since the 2G enhances performance across positions, it’s a smart choice for players who value well-rounded equipment.
Compatible With Any Pocket Style
When stringing your stick, you want the freedom to customize your pocket exactly how you like it. A head overly biased toward one pocket type limits your options as a stringer.

With its innovative design focused on maximizing ball speed, this head gives you the tools to rip faster, harder shots on cage time and time again. Ready to unleash your full potential on the field? Follow this 15-point guide to get the most out of your StringKing Mark 2G head.
1. Optimize Pocket Shape
One of the keys to generating maximum ball speed is optimizing your pocket shape and depth. The StringKing Mark 2G head is designed to be strung with a mid-to-low pocket, which cradles the ball in the sweet spot. Focus on forming an elongated “U” shape rather than a deep “V”. This allows for quicker releases and more hold. A more pinched, gradual channel is ideal.
2. Use a Soft Mesh
Pairing your Mark 2G head with a soft nylon mesh pocket is crucial for whip and velocity. The head’s flexible sidewalls and scoop work synergistically with soft mesh to “trampoline” the ball out. This catapults shots with speed and accuracy. StringKing’s Type 3s mesh is a top choice, providing excellent feel and responsiveness off sticks.
3. Find Your Ideal Pocket Depth
While the Mark 2G performs best with a mid-low pocket, finding your “sweet spot” depth is key. This balances ball retention and quick release. Start with a pocket about two balls deep and adjust up or down from there. With experience, you’ll dial in the optimal depth for your position and style of play.
4. Consider Pocket Shape
Beyond depth, fine-tuning pocket shape can provide precision aiming and passing. Wider diamond topstring holes allow you to manipulate pocket form. Aim for a gradual channel with a pinch towards the scoop. This cradles the ball securely while allowing it to release smoothly and directly. The shape should mirror your natural throwing motion.
5. Upgrade Sidewall Strings
While often overlooked, your sidewall stringing impacts pocket function and whip. Like using a soft mesh, swapping out the factory sidewall strings for softer nylon enhances feel and velocity. This allows the head to “give” more on shots, acting like a slingshot with the mesh to generate maximum speed.
6. String a Mid-Low Pocket
With its flexible sidewalls, scoop, and wider diamond topstring holes, the StringKing Mark 2G head is designed for a faster mid-low pocket. String the first diamond 1-2 diamonds down from the scoop and the last 4-5 diamonds up from the bottom. This centers the pocket’s sweet spot in the ideal launching zone for quicker releases.
7. Use a Wider Midfield Topstring
A piece of advice from StringKing: use a wider piece of nylon, leathers, or stringking mesh as your midfield topstring with the Mark 2G head. This helps pinch the channel above the natural pocket for more accuracy while still allowing the lower pocket to bag out as designed. The result? Dials in passing lanes with no sacrifice in ball speed.
8. Skip a Diamond
During stringing, try alternating the diamonds you lace through on each sidewall pass. Skipping 1 diamond between passes enhances pocket feel and hold. The offset parallels the diagonal pattern of mesh diamonds, allowing the head to truly maximize ball contact for velocity.
9. Use Double Sidewall Strings
For even more customizable pocket shape, try using doubled-up sidewall strings on each pass. This allows you to “lock in” more defined diamonds and achieve any pocket shape you desire. Dialing in diamond symmetry this way takes your consistency to the next level.
10. Add a Nylon Shooter
Adding a nylon shooter lace gives you even more pocket adjustability with the StringKing Mark 2G head. Running a U-shaped nylon across the upper diamonds, you can raise or drop the shooting channel higher or lower to your liking. This fine-tunes your release point and aim.
11. Skip Early Diamonds
Try skipping the first 1 or 2 diamonds during stringing to elongate the channel above the natural pocket. This upper “runway” allows feeding passes to sit momentarily before settling into the pocket – perfect for catching and shooting in motion.
12. Use Stiffer Sidewall Strings
Some players like to use a stiffer polyethylene or nylon string to tie off the sidewalls. While less common, this can allow you to string a pocket with more defined shape that moves less. Stiffer materials reduce sidewall give for consistent precision passing and shooting.
13. Add Topstring Rolls
Rolling the topstring over itself 1-2 times at each diamond holder can enhance consistency across the pocket top. This allows you to string a flatter, firmer shooting runway at the channel exit. Ideal for rockets that stay on line through traffic.
14. Consider Your Position
Your ideal pocket and shooting channel may vary based on playing style and position. Middies may prefer a little more width and hold halfway up for catching on the run. Meanwhile, attack want more whip lower down and a defined point for picking corners on the crease.
15. Keep Tweaking
Don’t be afraid to continuously tune and adjust your pocket, sidewalls, shooters, and topstring over time. As you get more reps with your StringKing Mark 2G head, you’ll unlock what works best for your game. Dial it in so you can step on the field with full confidence to deliver faster, harder shots on cage.

Ideal ‘V’ Channel Construction
Looking to get the most out of your StringKing Mark 2G lacrosse head? Crafting the ideal pocket shape and channel is crucial. While StringKing designed the 2G for a mid-low pocket, optimizing the channel’s “V” shape takes things to the next level. Let’s walk through how to string a defined “V” that launches shots with maximum speed and accuracy.
Focus on Sidewall Shape
The angle and shape of your sidewalls directly impacts overall pocket form. To create an ideal “V”, focus on stringing sidewalls that pinch in at the bottom and gradually widen towards the scoop. This not only centers the sweet spot, but creates a natural launch point.
Skip Early Diamonds
Start stringing your sidewalls by skipping the first 2-3 diamonds up top. This elongates the upper channel above the pocket for feeding. Skipping again 4-5 diamonds from the bottom widens the lower angle of the “V” for ideal cradle and hold.
Use Soft Mesh
Pairing a soft nylon mesh with the 2G head is key for shaping the interior pocket angles. Soft mesh drapes naturally into a “V” form. Meanwhile, hard meshes resist shaping. For the most defined “V”, upgrade to StringKing Type 3s.
Add a Midfield Shooter
Running a nylon U-shooter across the center diamonds allows you to raise or lower the interior pocket shape as needed. Dropping the shooter deepens the lower pocket angle and achieves a symmetric “V”. Raising it provides more hold and mid-pocket depth.
Consider Diamond Symmetry
Focus on matching the sidewall diamonds on each pass. Mirroring the lace-in points makes the pocket form fit your natural range of motion. Skipping and symmetry work together to construct an ideal shooting “V”.
Double Up Sidewalls
For extra definition, run doubled-up sidewall strings on every pass. Pulling through two sidewall nylons at each diamond better locks in the angles. This reduces bulge for a truly symmetrical interior “V” shape.
Add Rolled Topstrings
Rolling your topstring over itself 1-2 times at each diamond holder gives firmness and structure across the pocket top. This defines the exit point of the “V” channel for consistency shot to shot.
Tune Pocket Depth
Adjusting pocket depth impacts the lower vertex angle and hold. Start with a mid-deep 4-diamond pocket and tweak from there. Just avoid going too low, whichpinches the bottom of the “V” and reduces speed.
String from Top Down
Stringing your diamonds from the scoop down (instead of bottom up) allows you to better control pocket symmetry. Visualizing the angles as you build down the head gives a clear picture of diamond symmetry.
Check Your Work
After stringing, continually check pocket form from all angles. Ensure the sidewalls form an even “V” shape into the ScoopForward for centering. Make micro-adjustments as needed for the most definition.
Consider Your Style
Attack may prefer a little more whip at the bottom vertex for quick trigger pops. Middies could opt for extra hold at the midpoint to cradle and shoot accurately on the run. Dial in what works for you!
Define Shooting Channel
A well-defined interior “V” shape naturally creates a central shooting channel. Combined with a rolled topstring, this gives the ball a consistent exit point for precision every time down the alley.
With the right techniques and adjustments, you can craft the ideal high-performance pocket with your StringKing Mark 2G head. Take the time to shape a symmetrical “V” and you’ll be launching faster shots in no time. Ready to own the field this season? Grab a StringKing head and get stringing!
