Forming a channel.

[italnstallion]

i know ive posted a lot of stringing threads but i used http://www.lax.com/stories/1483 i am attempting to form a channel my pocket looks also exactly like that. that being said is forming a channel impossible or almost impossible to keep a pocket staying that like? (im using 12d hard)

if that doesnt affect it how much pounding and what materials should i use to form it? so far i got it wet it put it in its posistion and sprayed with hairspray i havnt hit a ball against it yet.

also when i seem to pass or follow through with the pass unless i lob it it doesnt seem to go where i want or it will go down.

sorry for the long thread but thanks guys!

Dont string 12 D like that. If you do that with 12 d you'll get the deepest pocket ever, which you dont want. Way to much whip. Just interlocking sidewalls. and make sure your topstring is tight.

interlocking is what? when the mesh is directly on the sidewall? and should my shooters be tight or loose?

Go on the stick doctors lounge and go to tutorials. And click on Interlocking + doubling that shoudl help.
AS for the shooter your gonna have to work that out accordingly to your pcoket. Loose means less whip and tight is more whip. What i do is i have the first one real loose, second one tighter, and last one tight. So it goes nice. GL
