sstring the sidewall normaly without attaching it to the mesh then use the sidewall technique again to attach the mesh to it

Pics would be great. I've always wanted to learn how to string double sidewalls but I've never been able to figure them out. Any pics or information would help. Thanks.

they could be a little bit looser ( the outside sidewalls, 2nd ones) but yeh your pocket is nice and huge, is it deep though, it doesnt look to deep.

No it's really not that deep, but I just strung it last night and haven't had a chance to play with it at all. It is a broken in piece of hard and it just needs to be stretched out some more.

No, you shouldn't. Get some 7 diamond from Jimalax, string that up and you're golden.

Why are you telling him that he shouldn't? Let him use hard mesh if he wants too. Just because you like 7 diamond doesn't mean that he will. Personally I like every kind of mesh, except for micro, but he may not be like me so just let him use his hard mesh.

Double sidewalls are used not to make a pocket bigger, but to make the pocket "longer". The swerve is a head that makes great pockets and double sidewalls are simply just not needed, it's a waste of sidewall string. The fact that he owns a Swerve leads me to believe either he's an attackmen, an offensive middie. 7 Diamond mesh would offer to him the perfect ammount of hold without sacraficing a smooth release and allows for a nice pocket to form anywhere he might like it.

Are you talking about me. I never said I hate hard mesh. I did say I can't get a pocket to look like mustang lax's. I have strung high pockets, but not ones that look like his and I have tried before. And I am going to buy hard mesh again unless I really like the American that I should be getting in tomorrow. Even if I really like the American I will still have a stick with hard mesh as a rain stick. Also, I just strung a stick that looks like mustang lax's about an hour or two ago, but it looks like a messy job because I skipped two holes instead of one where I wanted the pocket. It doesn't really matter though because it has sweet hold and it throws pretty good from my 5 minutes of wall ball before I went to my school's sports banquet.

I've always just done singles, but wondering:

Any Shockwave users out there use a double sidewall?

I've got a decent pocket in mine, but there's too much space between the "inner channel" holes with a single sidewall.

The Pocket keeps sliding, so my shots and passes are much less predictable than with my other heads.

I thought about doing a trad, but I really don't feel like it! Think a double wall will help me string a more stable pocket?
