Only thing I can mention is that the strings all look rather loose, other than that nice job, the pinch looks pretty good.

[parrots]

that is the only way to get a pocket i on it. i did it normal and it doesnt even have a pocket. so i losened the sidewall

[Lacrosstitute]

You have the actual concepts of stringing down. Just tighten the sidewalls and actually break the mesh in so the sidewalls dont have to be so loose.

[NY Lax 4]

stretch the mesh and redo the sidewalls tight

Nice job for a first timer. If you want some tips on getting a deeper pocket without having the sidewall strings so loose, read this article.

thanks big tony

All I have to say, is it looks like you strung the mesh in flat and tried to loosen everything afterwards. You have to keep the mesh vertically, almost hanging by the sidewall string while stringing it to get a good, deep pocket. The streched mesh hanging over the sidewalls horizontally makes that obvious.

try the ball and butterknife trick

I don't understand why all you guys are freaking out. It's not like your first pocket was perfet; it probably sucked just as much as this.

[johnkrz]

Can't you be nice its the kids first stiring job. Man just redo it but break the mesh in with conditioner. Sorry for these *** holes flaming you.

[MaxLax44]

Very nice for a first time! Good job with the pinch, the only problem is that you could definetly tighten the sidewalls. Just undo the back knot and pull on each one starting at the top and going down, then make a new knot and you should be all good. Also, laxd42 don't be a ****ing ***** don't post if you don't have anything good to say.

[livin4lax09]

laxd42, chill out. You just earned yourself your first and only warning. Flame anymore and you're gone.

[BigTony]

Parrots, post some pics of it when you're done. I want to see.

Also helpful- Take the mesh and soak it in a sinkful of steaming hot water with some form of soap (I use Dawn or something with bleach alternative), it makes the mesh much more malleable and loose. It also makes it nice and white.

[RottingMind13]

did he do the sidewalls from inside out instead of outside in?

why would we need to hammer it into sheets?

[syracuselax3]

That blaze looks sick.I just got some monster mid mesh for my awnser too.

[Fallen Angel]

i have a blaze i got as my first ok stick (one before it was a shotgun on a steel d pole, that thing was a beast to handle...) anyway, i got bored over the weekend so i pinched that sucker, and strung it with some 6-d i had lying around, now it has the front profile of a revo-pro, it is just barely legal, i love it. its just my goof around stick because i am a defenceman, but it has surprised a few people because they dont regard the blaze as a good head, but now it has a super pinch and a quick release...all for about $30 =D

What? :beard:

[TallLax]

Nice job!! I think that you did a nice job on the shooters.

[parrots]

ok well my team had a away game today and i showed them my head. and the hole push ride they were making the pocket bigger. so im going to restring the sidewalls tomarrow and see what it looks like

[regulate34]

good with tight sidewalls the pocket sits better
