[Lax4life528]

[Lacrosse4life31]

nice 'n dirty

[pvlax02]

looks dirty...but fundamentally sound...nice work.

[lexlax92819]

nice job.

haha nanh i'm not

[min_sarker]

nice job! but i usually do my topstring around the back haha!

[OwlsLax]

yea. you might want to get some new strings...

[destructivelax]

yuor U shooter doesn't cnnect to the sidewall

[lexlax92819]

woops. i'll contect it l8ter

[lexlax92819]

othrwise it fine rite?

[Bretmac]

yeah its a lil' dirty but its fine

[DTOWNstatechamp]

niceeeeee like where the pocket is and SWIZZBEAT

[lexlax92819]

ok problem. When i shoot the ball goes to like a diffrent place. not to the target i want to. I'm pretty sure i shoot the right way. extended arms. so and so.

blue dot is where the ball goes. White ball is where i want it to go.

http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s195/navyseal1220/BrickWall-1.jpg

I'm not sure but maybe the whip is screwing this around.

so should i start :

1 shooting string: SUPER tight
2 shooting string: Tight
3 shooting string : not to tight
4 U shooter: ? should that be tight or loose?

[L4X_M4ST3R]

oh man is this gonna be another series of questions?

please show us a video of you shooting and how b/c we can't tell you wats wrong with it as far as whip unless we see how you shoot (I.E. Sidearm, underhand)

[sabreace]

It would seem that the problem is that there's more whip. Loosen up your U shooter, if that doesn't work, loosen up the next one, etc...

Considering how much confusion you seem to have, I think it would actually be easier for you just to learn how to throw with more whip.

[lexlax92819]

so should my u shooter be tight or loose?

[Mayhem]

it should be lose, BUT, take out the last straight shooter (the one closest to the U, and move the U up one row. and u were born in the place im living now

[bulldoglaxer36]

make ur top nylon even with the topstring.

[lexlax92819]

AHHH PROBLEM. ok so the ball gets caught in the shooter closes to the u.

for the sidewalls i use 1,1,1, 2,2, 1,1,1

The place where the ball gets caught is at the 3th one. How do i get rid of that? Should i make it tighter or looser? Maybe its my shooter thats right under the tight neon. Maybe its the pocket depth...but idk. It also brings back the lip kinda sucks.

http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s195/navyseal1220/HPIM0522.jpg

[laxmj1992]

loosen that shooter directly above the u. Not a whole lot, start out loosening it just a little. If it is still getting caught there, loosen it more.

[Mayhem]

maaybe if you would listen to my post a few above or attach the shooter to the sidewall, or play hard wall ball with the shooters untied the problem would be solved

[Lax4life528]

take out the middle hockey lace and move your u up.

[L4X_M4ST3R]

http://www.forumspile.com/Ban-Praying_monk.jpg

but seriously man you need to just learn to throw with the whip in my opinion. The mind can teach the muscles so i say just do it that way. Leave the pocket and adjust yourself to the pocket...

(Highlight below)
(don't take the pic seriously)

[Mayhem]

lexlax...have u considered sending it to someone on this site to string it. I heard MakiMaki and NewtoLax string sticks on here, but im not sure. Hell, if you want, PM me and ill string u a good no whip pocket

[laxmj1992]

hahaha that is the funniest picture. I literally laughed out loud when I saw that.

[AttackMan18]

I'll string it for free if you pay for materials and shipping.

[laxnguitar402]

wow my mom just asked me if i was having a seizure bcuz that pic made me laugh so hard she like rushed in to make sure i was okay hahahha.

[lexlax92819]

yeah i have to say its funny.

ok so i find out i dont have a lip. the ball hitting the fold of the mesh. I have a super tight top neon string. What can i do to stop the ball from hitting the fold?

i put the mesh in front of the stick scoop, NOT under it.

(p.s the pic cracked me up.)

[L4X_M4ST3R]

that small of a detail honestly man? this is too crazy ditch the truth and but a strun head on here off of somebody....

its just too much man i still stick with my solutioln to just deal with it...your brain will train the muscles to adjust

[StallionsLax08]

not a big fan of the truth but the pocket looks nicee.

[lexlax92819]

yeah so what should i like do????

[Bretmac]

change the top string go to oranges 5d tut and use that for it... it will work dont worry its in all my heads

[Titanoh]

Use a goal-ex topstring?

[Bretmac]

Use a goal-ex topstring?

yeah thats the thing i meant orange uses a somewhat like one for his 5D tut

[Mayhem]

why do you keep calling the top white shooting string a neon string?

[lexlax92819]

idk i'm using the the giant mesh top string form orange. Its wrking pretty well.

[laxmj1992]

I recommend you send the stick to somebody to string.

[soclax15]

(p.s the pic cracked me up.)

There is no way that the top of the mesh is causing your problems. It appears to be strung like most other mesh sticks. The only thing I could possibly recommend is to move all of your shooters up one row of diamonds, and make sure your top nylon (not neon) shooter is tight. From the sound of it, it's your form, not your pocket that is creating your shooting woes.

[NDAlaxer11]

i had a truth and i could never string it cuz of the way the side walls were but i like the way u did it, and u added the triangle top string which is one of my favorites. overall good job

[NDAlaxer11]

[NDAlaxer11]

one more thing about the truth is that it pintches its self if u do faceoffs/play hard w/ it cuz thats what i did and now it is an intch wide

[lexlax92819]

Which would get rid of my lip better? Triangle top string or orange’s top string on gaint mesh? Also should the nylon be super tight? Then the next shooter goes tight, loose. And should the u shooter be loose?

[Mayhem]

just move the shooters up a row...

[ChiefsLacrosse1]

gah, just when i thought all this madness had stopped...

[Bretmac]

try oranges top string...and move your shoots up a row

[lexlax92819]

"One could argue that the triangle topstring reduces lip, but I don't think it has any effect whatsoever. The reason I use it is because it looks cooler. As long as your topstring is tight, it won't change the amount of lip by a noticeable amount. (except for the goal-ex topstring in my experience. This is the only topstring that has a noticeable effect on lip)."

goal-ex topstring maybe. who thinks this is a way better idea then triangle? does it really have a a better effect? all my time on the forums i been told to do the triangle. what do you think?

I think you should listen to what Bretmac said and move your shooters up...theyre too far down, thus causing the lip. Move the shooters up, leave the topstring alone.

[eaglelax4]

yeah, your shooters should move up a row, that will get rid of some whip
then the top one should be tightest and get looser as they move down
if its snagging, there isnt an even flow of tightness to looseness
if its whipping, loosen the top one

[lexlax92819]

i am now. but it doesnt look right. it looks too close to the top.maybe its me. because i havent have it that close before. has this happpen to u?

[eaglelax4]

sometimes it may look a little funky, it has happened to me before
but if it throws the way you need it to, then who cares?

[lexlax92819]

yeah ur right eagle

[Mayhem]

if you look at the who strings the best mesh pocket contest. You will see that shooters start only a diamond or 2 after the scoop

[lexlax92819]

i moved it up one and it was terable. the lip was WAY worst.

[lexlax92819]

wait should the mesh be in front of the scoop or behind it?

[HovalLaxer]

in front of the scoop

[laxmj1992]

in front if you don't want lip. Try the goal-ex topstring. It takes 2 minutes to do, is the easiest top string possible, and reduces lip.

[lexlax92819]

r u sure the goal ex topstring would work? i have 10 d. should i start on the 10 or 9?

alos what are some other ways or tips the can help me get rid of the lip or reduces it? and are their any good tuts that would explain how to do a goal ex

[HovalLaxer]

10d extra words

[jordanlax123]

madness! he just keeps coming back for more!!

[WAC_Shoremen]

madness! he just keeps coming back for more!!Madness? This is lexlax!

Your shooters should be like a ramp. The top one should be the tightest, then gradually get looser as you move down until the bottom one (the U in this case) is the loosest. You don't seem to want whip, so I would make the U pretty loose. If it's lippy, tighten up the nylon.

[m2daRizzle]

the best way to get rid of lip is to put a super tight, super cereal nylon just under the scoop. preferably on the first row of diamonds.

[laxmj1992]

You could try getting rid of you U/V. Try putting 3 straight shooters across the top and 1 nylon.

[bigdale9]

yes deffinatley get rid of the u, use a goal ex topstring, uber tight nylon

[NDlax08]

go play wallball with the shooters untied itll start off bad but as they loosen up it should eventually through the way you want.

[lexlax92819]

you konw when you do a weave and you first go through the mesh then you weave it right? well when you go through the mesh do you pull it hard so it its like close to the nylon or you dont do anything and just weave it tight?

i usaly put it tight but i'm not sure.

[lexlax92819]

sry bout the double post my comp is messed up and lagging so when i press "post quick reply" it posts but it does not direct me to the refresh thread. so i clicked it twice. woops

[bigdale9]

it depends on the shooter if its a bottom shooter it should be loose all the way. if it is a top shooter keep it tight all the way

[lexlax92819]

ok so if you watted to get rid of a lip would u tighten the shooting strings? or loosen it.

so say the the nylon string is wicked tight. and should the shooter be under the nylon or at the same hight? should the shooters also go down in a slope. or like a ramp?

[lovinlax101]

Don't change just adjust to it. It will save you the time.

[lexlax92819]

?? ok but i'm not sure if my shooter are in the right position.

[lexlax92819]

ok wait so in order to get rid of the lip do i put the mesh piece behind the scoop like the pic under this sentence?

http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s195/navyseal1220/HPIM0539.jpg

or would i put it in front of the scoop

http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s195/navyseal1220/HPIM0541.jpg

[bonebrakr12]

infront and did u get a new piece of mesh?

[lexlax92819]

r u sure in front of scoop?

[valax16]

YES, INFRONT. I believe you have asked that question about 3 times now. Just get rid of the U shaped shooting string, move all of the other shooting strings up one row. After you have removed the U shooter and moved all of the remaining shooters up one row, go play wallball, do not adjust it anymore, just GET USED TO IT.
