Taken Me Down's snowball turrent.
Now i want a mid pocket, so how to i get that pocket there. Should i just ball and knife where i want the pocket right after i put in the leathers? Then string around it?
thanks

just put your leathers in your head, then ball and knife the leathers
then string around the ball but dont do the stringing REALLY tight or else the pocket will be so much around that ball that the ball wont move
ball and knife it and as for pocket placement, I don't know about other people but I ball and knife a pocket low when I string it, it becomes low mid. When I ball and knife it low/mid, it shifts higher to mid when it breaks in. Just ball and knife it a little lower than where you want the pocket, or keep you leather a little wider around where you want the pocket (like an rp but not as wide).

keep the ball and knife in the whole time as stringing that makes the pocket the exact depth of the ball so it is perfect.

this is a concept pocket from stylinstrings.com so there is no tut. there are some old tutorials for the homegrown pocket on e-lacrosse, which is a cousin to this pocket. basically, figure it out yourself.
