StringKing Type 5s Mesh

The Type 5s utilizes StringKing's patented Twistex technology, which is a specific yarn construction designed to keep the pocket consistent. Unlike standard mesh that might bag out or lose its shape over time, this construction is engineered to maintain its structure and responsiveness regardless of how much you play.

Yes. The proprietary yarn construction is inherently weather-resistant, meaning it won't absorb moisture like traditional mesh. This helps prevent the pocket from getting heavy or changing its release point when you are playing in wet or humid conditions.

The Type 5s is designed for versatility. Its balance of weight and texture provides enough feel for precise ball control while remaining durable enough for the rigors of any position, making it a reliable choice for attackers, midfielders, and defenders alike.

While it is designed to be consistent right out of the package, you should still expect a very short break-in period to get the pocket to your preferred depth and whip. Because of the Twistex technology, it holds its shape well, so you won't need to constantly readjust your strings once it is broken in.

The mesh features an optimized texture that provides just enough grip to help with ball control during cradling without being so tacky that it interferes with your release. It strikes a balance between feeling secure in the pocket and allowing for a smooth, consistent snap on your passes and shots.
