i bought a razer 2.0 and i was gonna use it to try my first string up job. things looked nice but the only problem is, i like a nice deep pocket. i tried using Orange's giant pocket tutorial and it didn't work that well because the razer 2.0 doesn't have that much sidewall holes which makes the tutorial really difficult. i loosened the sidewalls but the pocket isn't deep enough for me yet. can someone has ever strung a razer 2.0 or any head with little sidewall holes could help me get a deep pocket?

i'm also having problems with the shooting strings. i don't know if it's because of the pocket, but when i throw, the ball just goes up. i rolled the pocket which forces me to throw a little different then usual. can someone possible know what's rong?

We can help even more if you post pictures for us. You should never loosen your sidewalls for pocket depth because this will cause inconsistencies in your throws. For the shooting strings problem try weaving them instead of rolling them. Like I said before we will be able to do so much more with pictures.

sry i didnt post these earlier. they look a little fuzzy but u can see the head and stringing with no problem.

also, a friend of mine suggested that i restring it with tighter sidewalls put wet the pocket area so that i could mold it, then dry it out. i told him that it was a retarded idea because i had dura mesh (which after one practice in the rain became a little softer)

Always keep your sidewalls tight, Never skip diamonds in the mesh...
Look through this tutorial:

You say the pocket is throwing up? In which case you could try adding more shooters.
