Ultimate Random Lacrosse Question

by **cjwilhelmi** on Mon Aug 28, 2006 9:22 pm

I have looked through google searches, wikipedia and all kinds of other sites and cannot find the answer to this question.

"how thick are sidewall/top strings?"

I originally started looking through jimalax.com then realized that its just a round shoelace but still can't come up with anything.

Does anyone know or have something that can measure that small?

Well I ran down to the basement with my spool and whipped out the micrometer. I found it to be about 0.157 in +/- 0.001 in. Then when I walked past my dad, he informed me that ropes are commonly measured in mm. So with a quick conversion, I found it to be almost exactly 4mm (3.98mm). If you like, I could also find the diameter of pocket nylon.

Dan, your the man.

Thanks!

OK I am curious - why do you have a micrometer?

Girlfriend?! I wish I had one of those around. By the way, it goes all the way up to 10 inches. The micrometer that is...

My dad is an engineer who has done several side businesses, a few of which have needed one im sure. That and just incase anyone needs me to measure anything.
