Welcome to the forums. Can you post some pictures of your head. Until then we can't help you much.

ya plz post some pics, but you might need to tighten up your shooters bc you have alot of whip or lip (when the ball hits the lip of the head) the top shooter should be the tightest (how tight depends on preference), the next one a little looser and the next one a little looser than the previous one so on and so forth... hope this helps you a bit. good luck bro and happy stringing

[ndawg247]

how does this make sense? it should be whipping if its wet

[JazzyJake]

it makes perfect sense, you misread it
Let me rephrase it for you.
"Last night it was wet and was throwing down, today, now that it is dry, it throws perfect."

Then it looks like you might need to avoid playing in the rain!

its tough to say from here... does it hit the top of ur head? if so, try to loosen the shooters

[bonebrakr12]

the composite mesh is the best stuff out there. for you, you might need to get rid of your whip. and all the comp. mesh is whipless, or throwing down.

[ndawg247]

whats diff between comp mesh and hard mesh, and is comp 10d?

[Titanoh]

Compsite is rainproof.

[ndawg247]

that would mean it has some wierd coating on it then huh, does it throw and hold different?

[xVENOMx]

what would be the best composite mesh you guys recomend? sorry not tryin to hijack thread

[ndawg247]

no its ok i want to know too

Go to www.stringersshack.com and check around textileguru420 (creator of this website and this mesh, he is on TLF) site, his mesh is great. I have tried his single layer small diamond uncoated and love the stuff. I have some of his double layer large diamond uncoated (not tried it yet) but seems great. His mesh is great, I don't use it in my gamer but it is great stuff, and doesn't have whip.

On your current stick try loosening the shooters a bit, that can help with getting rid of whip. You could also untie the shooters and go play some wall ball, it will actually set your shooters to your preference based on how you throw.
One other thing you could do is make sure that the sidewalls up top near the scoop of the head are tight, that also can help limit whip.
Just keep messing with your stick, thats how everyone learns to string and gets better at it.
