StringKing’s Type 4F mesh is the brand’s first mesh designed specifically for faceoffs. It features:
-
Ultra-lightweight construction (≈14 g) — one of the lightest meshes available
-
Tri-Twist™ yarns that blend durability with feel
- Flexible diamond structure that supports pinches and scoops
- Minimal break-in with consistent performance session after session
This design helps the mesh move with the clamp and recover quickly, giving you a competitive edge at the X.

On-Field Performance
Type 4F mesh enables faster contact response during faceoffs by:
