Pocket Help!

[BOXcanada]

Im usually really good at fixing up my stick but what would i do about a lopsided pocket? I think its just the way i shoot because when im playing wall ball i can see the track the ball leaves when i shoot and its no where near center its vary far to left.


i hope this made sense.

make sure the sidewall patterns are the exact same... and make sure they are equally tight

^^also pound the pocket alittle where you want it, make sure everything is equal and proportionate. Make sure its all tight

[min_sarker]

first make sure the sidewalls are exactly the same in all ways (tightness, pattern, etc etc)

and then check ur topstring, is it off (tighter one side than the other or that u just messed up the top diamonds)

then check ur shooters, if they are rolled maybe u created a knot or one side is tighter than the other?

also if u wrap ur shooters around ur head then make sure u do that on both sides (just another tip haha)

its due to one side being looser,if the heads pinched you didnt pinch it properly, loopsided pattern, or the mesh was strteched out on oneside.

BTW Not many sucessful canadians box players use pockets as deep as yours. Try makking it shallower and acctualy developing your skills. its funny to watch kids who use deep pockets in junior lacrosse tryouts, they are never as good as the kids with small pockets who have developed great hands.

lax man is right yours is extremely deep.... i dont even like mine that deep

[BOXcanada]

is it really considered that deep it doesn't seem that deep at all to me. Like even when i look at it it doesn't seem deep. Ill just pull the bottom string tight because its loose right now so that will make my pocket a lot less deep.


and also thanks for the help i think the problem is one sidewall is a tad tighter even though i try to tie them as tight as i can and keep them equal.

EDIT: i will post pics in a bit

It might be because you use your strong hand a lot more(if you do
). I know it sounds goofy, but it happened to me a lot when I started.
