Doesnt fall out

[johnboy07]

I saw in college how when they turned it over (such as flipped over from a horizantal cradle), and it didnt fall out. I am just messing around with some traditional and I want to know what I would have to do to make it so the ball doesnt fall out.

isnt it illegal if doesnt fall out?

do you mean while cradeling, or when you are checking the stick?

checking the stick,

i saw it too, a middie i believe from maryland scored a goal against georgetown and georgetowns coach had it checked and it was illegal and the goal was taken off the board,

but yea the ball must roll out when the stick is 45 degrees to the ground with the face of the stick facing down

btw this should be in rules forum

[johnboy07]

No it shouldnt, I am not asking if it is illegal, I know it is. I am just messing around with an old stick with traditional and I want to know how to make it so it wont come out like that. Yes you were right, the game with Maryland. Anyone know how to make the traditional so it doesnt come out like that?

try tightning up the outer leathers a ton and make the pocket low, i dont know if it will work i just thought it might

[eamiddy16]

a really really tight pinch thats barely legal and the way u string ur sidewalls would help

[johnboy07]

Ok how should I string my sidewalls like that?

[ViennaLAX16]

You can double string them using mesh or when doing the trad. string the side walls on the inside

[johnboy07]

Ok thanks, but I already have it strung and dont feel like restringing the sidewalls...

actually the ref holds it up at 45 degree angle, hits the shaft a little bit, and if it doesnt come out then its illegal, or they just tilt it over more then 45 degrees
