Is it Fresh Mesh or Rail Mesh? get rid of that junk. You'll never get a pocket with that.
Get mesh from www.jimalax.com

What's "that plastic mesh"? Use the ball and knife trick and also search.

Use a hair dryer to heat the mesh up and then use a ball to shape the pocket.
To everyone who says it sucks and has never used it before: Shut up.

Yep, it's the "striner" alright. If I remember correctly, Brent aka Livin4lax09 couldn't get his fresh mesh to make a pocket either. And he's such an AWFUL "striner", right? Jeez, that guy knows nothing about stringing. His identical-looking Rock-It Pockets are CRAP, right? What an awful stringer he must be.

my friend has the best ocket on my team with fresh mesh and all the ppl on our team has a pretty sick pocket, so id say fresh mesh is great.

okay first use the ball and knife thing (put the ball in and then a knife above it but make sure the knife is still under the sidewall so it stays there). Then either take a blow dryer and aim it at the pocket for a little bit so the mesh expands and u have a pocket, or graze the bottom with a lighter (be careful if u hold it too long it will melt the mesh).
