i checked all the threads and i couldnt find one with my specific problem... i have been stringing sticks for a while now, but i have one problem... i can only string a low pocket... i can't string a high or a mid pocket... what do i need to do? i have tried stretching the mesh to make a pocket, but it never comes out right... is there anything that i should do in the stringing process other than conditioning the mesh?

here are some pics of a head that i strung so you can see what i do...

Check out your sidewall pattern. Doubling and tripling up will help greatly .

Double up higher on the head, then 1,1,1, etc from there down, and a tight bottom string.

Yeah as they said double/triple up. I used to string very low also and I followed the link to the tut that was provided and I've been making amazing mid-high pockets now :)

yea, to get a good high pocket just double up (usually twice will do the trick) where you want your pocket. once up past the middle of the head and then once in the middle and it should give you a real nice mid high pocket.
