Rock-It Pocket (Tutorial)

[livin4lax09]

[rebellax10]

If you need anymore help, I strung a really nasty rock-it pocket last night, everything is perfect.

[lacrossefanatic]

Oh uh... I feel bad for rock-it-pocket except damn think of all the great pockets that will be out in mainstream lacrosse. Every elite stringers is gonna have a rock-it-pocket.

[CNSlax]

Oh elite stringers hu, Im definatly getting one then.

YESSSSSSSSS :agree:

[lax4life6]

not just elite stringers. I'll have one! :)

[schratxs20]

ditto nylax

[regulate34]

Oh uh... I feel bad for rock-it-pocket except damn think of all the great pockets that will be out in mainstream lacrosse. Every elite stringers is gonna have a rock-it-pocket.
naa i can string one but i wouldent use it i love the mesh i might use it for box

[lacrossefanatic]

true tutorials will most certainly make it easier to string. It'll be like rock it pockets for dummies.
Word of advice do your best with the tutorial to make it understandable for even the most idiodic stringer. Like don't use too many high tech words etc.

[Warrior]

this should be pretty cool i can do everything except the bottom part..im looking forward to see how its done

[Viperlaxer132]

this should be pretty cool i can do everything except the bottom part..im looking forward to see how its done

The bottom part is probably the easiest part of the pocket once you figure it out. It looks complicated, but its really really simple.

[laxboy452]

wheres the tutorial?

[Lax101]

Well everyone, I just thought I'd let you know that the Rock-It Pocket Patent is now expired, so Kryptic and I will be bringing you a tutorial very soon and are working on it as we speak. It should be up tonight or tomorrow morning. Stay tuned.

Reading is a valuable skill in life.

[H-townlaxer]

YES!!!! THERE IS A GOD

[laxfan251]

Dont you already know how to string a rp? You strung one at the beginning of the season I thought.

[kryptic]

HERE IT GOES!!!

This is the method of how both livin4lax09 and myself learned how to do Rock-It Pockets

1. Gather your materials

a. an unstrung lacrosse head
b. 11 yards of crosslace
c. your preference of shooters
d. 2 sidewall strings
e. a computer with internet access

good job!

2. Now jump onto the internet
http://img309.imageshack.us/img309/3931/rp10wv.th.jpg (http://img309.imageshack.us/my.php?image=rp10wv.jpg)
and go to www.rock-itpocket.com
http://img309.imageshack.us/img309/3774/rp30lb.th.jpg (http://img309.imageshack.us/my.php?image=rp30lb.jpg)
click on one of these pictures
http://img309.imageshack.us/img309/7566/rp46sb.th.jpg (http://img309.imageshack.us/my.php?image=rp46sb.jpg)
and study all these pictures
http://img315.imageshack.us/img315/999/rp56zg.th.jpg (http://img315.imageshack.us/my.php?image=rp56zg.jpg)

By using your stringing and observation skills, it shouldn't be too terribly difficult to figure out how to string a Rock-It Pocket

3. String it...
yep, all you need to do is string it how it looks in the pictures
and you hopefully get this

Then put in your desired number of shooters in and your done!

This tutorial was made possible by livin4lax09 and kryptic

[libertyvillelax]

:bartmoon:

[PhishMeister]

:( i was hoping for a real tutorial...im sad

[regulate34]

sweet i like it it looks sweet down low

[hjr432]

well that was completely pointless

[Hookem]

to be honest, they arent THAT hard to string, (by looking at it lol)

Hardest parts would be the saddle, and the knots bewteen the channgel and the area outside the channel.

[pumba]

Oi is this a joke or are you really doing one!

I'm confused easily

[Tman188]

well this sucks...

[chmcclellan]

I'm confused easily

Hahaha, nice

But for livin4lax09 and kryptic, that is a little bit soft. It may be that you are annoyed by less experienced people asking about RPs. When I learned I figured it out from pictures and I agree it is pretty simple. However, doing something like this, implying that anybody who can't figure it out from internet pictures is an idiot or whatever you are trying to do seems pointless. Maybe the whole pocket is pretty simple, but I think the top coil and saddle really could use further explanation. If you don't want to give it that's cool, but acting like such instruction is unnecessary, and that any 13 year old who can't tell how to do the saddle or coil from a picture is an idiot is annoying and a waste of others time.

[LCNlaxman]

well livin and kryptic hope you were ready for this hype, out of anyone i think you two should be able to do the best job at it. Thanks for this, ive been waitin for one.

edit: cant wait to see how much cross lace is needed :thumbsdow

It's not bad. Only 11 yards.


This tutorial was made possible by livin4lax09 and kryptic

OWNED! DUDE, EFFING OWNED! I SAW IT MYSELF, HE GOT OWNED!

They both know that when they renew the patent, Rock-It Pocket would have Kryptic and Livin's heads by suing the hell out of them.

[olax]

this isnt a real tut i was expecting a real tut

[bloodilax977]

nurrmind...

[LCNlaxman]

It's really not that hard to string a RP. Hardest part is the saddle, and once you figure it out, it's easy as pie.

[bionicboy21]

wat the hell r u kidding??

[reallax455]

That took you a whole day to wait. What BS. Thats not even a tutorial. Good job getting people's hopes up.

[Lax101]

grrr....

this is the worst prank since bpjoyce faked his death....

[RedStormLaxer41]

this is a very sad "tutorial"... im sure the pocket isn't tremendously hard but what about the people who aren't as lax-stringing gifted as kryptic and livinlax?.... a real tutorial would help them out

[MachAttack39]

misread somethin...nvm


Steve

[reallax455]

Yea. I mean it's true that people probably could string a rock-it pocket just by looking at pictures, but not everyone is as talented as say kryptic or brent. Honestly, if Kryptic had never written his Pita pocket tutorial and instead had told people to look at pictures on the net to learn how, myself and many others would never have been able to string it, and it would have looked like crap. Alot of people don't have the artistic ability to learn how to string certain pockets, especially when those pictures don't have close ups of the necessary knots required to string said pocket. I know from experience: several times I have tried stringing several of the Stylin' Strings pockets using the crummy 2D pictures on their website. They turned out okay, but I guarantee they would have been much better if there had been a tutorial to guide me. People need step by step instructions.
Both of you let many people on this forum down (myself included) by pulling this BS. It is one thing to make a thread that says what Kryptic and was written in the very first post. But its quite another thing to guide people along, telling them you will be making a tutorial and it will be done in A DAY, and then doing this and just shooting everyone down. If you didn't read the posts, people were as excited and impatient for this to be finished as they were when Mark got his Patriotic Homegrown back from SS, and everyone was waiting to get pictures.

my 2 cents.

reallax455

[reallax455]

Dont you already know how to string a rp? You strung one at the beginning of the season I thought.

Yea but it sucked, remember? It had a ton of whip.

[rebellax10]

Everyone, If you can master stringing the RP without a word tutorial then just think of all the pockets you could string. They are very easy to string too. Just study the pictures you you will be golden.

[Warrior]

I can get most of it except the stupid bottom part...and it did look like crap, i attempted one in my revo. but tore it out and put in some regular hard mesh instead...I think that RP's are a bit overrated after pm'ing livin4lax and kryptic, they both told me that you can get the same throwing results from mesh for $5, and mesh is a lot lighter then an RP because of the amount of crosslace needed...even though i am let down by this tutorial, it was pretty funny...lol

And i would like to add that you know how kryptic does his stringing with different color strings to make it easier to follow the path of the string when you're doing a pocket well go on the Rock-it pocket website and most of their stringings have it the same way with the different color crosslace...

[J_Man55]

Dude what kinda BS is this? Thank you midknight for taking your time to atleast give some guidelines for the saddle. Kryptic and Livin, what was the point of that? I understand if you feel that others should learn the way you did and not take a shortcut, but what the hell? There was no need to get everyone's hopes up and then slap them in the face with this stupid stunt. That was pretty lame.

[Hookem]

http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/9682/davis2lg3mj.jpg

Those are the hardest parts, and guess what,the hardest is already posted in this thread!! You should be able to figure out how to string it now, and if you don't know, you don't deserve to have a tutorial

[midknight]

When I took a closer look a the RP that kryptic strung I noticed that he did not catch on of the more subtle aspects of the RP. The failed to notice the twisted sidewalls. I will show you how to do them...

[Hookem]

I failed to notice the twisited sidewalls in the RP images? Is this on a certian pocket of theres? or all of them

[lax4life6]

i couldnt follow teh saddle part so ill just have to figure it out. if i can find a cheap decent head on closeout ill attempt a rockit pocket.

midknight- are you going to actually do a real tutorial on this?

[Tman188]

come on kryptic and livin4lax at least tell us how to to the saddle

[ShermanLax607]

just tell us how to do the whole thing.. im deeply saddened, my hopes were up, and then were crushed...


lol

[play2feet17]

are you guys gonna try to make it a "real" tutorial?
(100th post)

[BioPro29]

(simpsons comic book guy voice) worst tutorial ever.

[unta8]

Well, that was just about the gayest thing in a while.

[attacklax72]

come on kryptic and livin4lax at least tell us how to to the saddle
look before you post

[CNSlax]

Question: Hope this makes sence but for the roch-it pocket do you start at the top and work your way down or the bottom-up.

I have studied pics

[Tman188]

I failed to notice the twisited sidewalls in the RP images? Is this on a certian pocket of theres? or all of them
it is only on the george pocket

[Hookem]

top, down, doesnt matter however u wanna do it just most people do top to down on most pockets.

[laxliveit]

glad to know that our mods are looking out for the more junior members of the forums...

good prank though

[mustang_lax]

you don't get it..there isn't going to be a tutorial.

Livin and kryptic..that was classic..I would have never thought of that

[BioPro29]

i get it, but it's not funny........

[schratxs20]

well thatss kinda stupid b/c we could have dont that the whole time they had the patent on it....its the same thing everyones been saying for like a year now...like a reall tutorial how to do it would defffff be appreciated (GARANTEED). a tutorail like snach n grab or like how to eat soup lol

[Hookem]

[NY Lax 4]

anyone that knows how to do a rp with pics...create a new username and make it...what are they going to do sue your user name? dont give out any info

[FredtheCat]

anyone that knows how to do a rp with pics...create a new username and make it...what are they going to do sue your user name? dont give out any info

They can contact site admins, your ISP, etc, get your IP address, and basically know everything about you.

[NY Lax 4]

do it from a school computer or a public computer

[mustang_lax]

the mods would probably delete it anyway. If they cannot catch the person then they will blame it on the site owner for allowing it to be on the forum.

[NY Lax 4]

i doubt they will shut down the forum and I would have saved all the screen pics of the tutorial by then

[Orange]

Give it up, it's not a good idea and it's not happening.

[NY Lax 4]

Give it up, it's not a good idea and it's not happening.
lol i can dream

[H-townlaxer]

riely i can string a rp good but no prefect

[reallax455]

just like you cant spell for ****.

[H-townlaxer]

just like you cant spell for ****.


Thats right baby

[Paper^Cut]

Practice... you all want a short cut on how to string this well practice. I learned from the pics and ive only been playing for a month maybe. I dont even have game experience and ive already strung one. It was my third string job and it turned out decent. First two were pitas and they were almost as good as kryptic's (kryptic is god though). And i am definently not artsy. Spend some time on it... learn it piece by piece then throw it all together. String a pita first so you have a general idea of how stringing works. Thats all i can say.

[LCNlaxman]

midknight- are you going to actually do a real tutorial on this?

You don't get it, do you? You CAN'T make a real tutorial, even if the patent expired. They'll renew it, and when they do, if you have a tutorial up, you are going to be sued out of your house.

[schratxs20]

ahh yeh stat quo is pimp- whats that mean

but we can just say we made it when it was exspired

[livin4lax09]

no, I am not annoyed at all with people asking for Rock-It pockets. What I do get fed up with is the fact that everyone complains about there not being a tutorial for the rock-it pocket. It's not hard at all to look at pictures and figure out how to string it that way.

[laxfan251]

I still think thats pretty gay for holding us up like that, not everyone is that skilled. Im sorry im not as good of a stringer as you guys, so you tell us to "look at pics". Thats lame.

[LaxFlap07]

http://www.kodakgallery.com/BrowsePhotos.jsp?&collid=23592171306&page=1&sort_order=0 this is the closest your going to get to a rp tutorial. it will help you alot.

[Laxstar*]

How do you do all knots?

[livin4lax09]

Livin and kryptic..that was classic..I would have never thought of that

thank you. Finally, someone appreciates it. Look, the reason we did this is for fun, yes, but really, a word tutorial is not needed. Like someone else said earlier in this post, I believe it was rebellax, RPs really arent that hard to string. They're actually quite simple, they just take time. Its so easy to look at a picture and string it by that. Look at all of the pictures on the RP site, or even search for pictures on these forums since there are many, and LOOK at the stickies since i put up a whole ofoto album of pictures. I'm done.

[reallax455]

Most people aren't upset that you didn't write a tutorial. Like, laxfan251 said (and what I said earlier), its gay that you got everyone's hopes up, and then just completely *****-slapped them. It wasn't really a good joke. Alot of people don't have the talent that you have, and they can't string a difficult pocket just by looking at pictures that really don't even show the finer details of it. Just think about it.

[LaxFlap07]

*cough* http://www.kodakgallery.com/BrowsePhotos.jsp?&collid=23592171306&page=1&sort_order=0 *cough*

[mustang_lax]

oops sorry..um...yea the rock-it pocket isn't that great anyways

[Warrior]

he posted it lol...

The only part of the pocket i couldnt get was the saddle part and someone posted how to do that so i can finally finish my pocket...lol

[laxattack8888]

That was classic, but man I was really hoping to be able to have a rockit-pocket without having to pay the steep $50 for one pocket.

[LaxFlap07]

^cough^ it has been posted in this thread or in a diff one cause i didnt see it at all in this one and i read all of em. and i posted it cause every1 wants a tut and that is the closest they will get ^cough^

[spartans22]

can somebody help Hookem out??he says hell make a tut if he gets a new head

[mclax]

thanks lax flap

[ThePflash]

They're actually quite simple, they just take time. Its so easy to look at a picture and string it by that.

You could make that argument for any pocket, yet the time was taken to write out instructions for other pockets in other tutorials.

[LaxFlap07]

np mclax. : ) and on the page it makes teh saddle very clear

[livin4lax09]

You could make that argument for any pocket, yet the time was taken to write out instructions for other pockets in other tutorials.


oh really? that's funny, because there AREN'T PATENTS on other pockets. I think you're missing the key point here.

[ThePflash]

oh really? that's funny, because there AREN'T PATENTS on other pockets. I think you're missing the key point here.

I know that there is a patent on this, it's been mentioned many times. But earlier your argument was "a word tutorial is not needed... RPs really arent that hard to string." I was just playing the devil's advocate.

[mdawg]

grrr....

this is the worst prank since bpjoyce faked his death....

haha that was classic

[Orange]

Don't forget to add this to the Tutorial List sticky.

[livin4lax09]

haha...oh orange, i knew i could count on you.

[JoshM]

Just so you know, i did some research on this, and it is perfectly legal to post a tutorial. For a couple reasons
a) no money is being made off it.
b) we aren't stealing anything from them.

And even if they did have a problem with it, they would have to send a cease and decist letter to lacrosse forums before they could file a suit, which would cost them a ton more money than they make in the first place.

Howstuffworks.com tells you how many things work that are patented, which is essentially the same as a tutorial.

[LHSlax41]

i know how to do this pocket i just need to know do you use the ball and knife trick while you stringing it? and i bought a warrior trad kit and is that crosslace they have the same as the stuff the rock-it needs? the rock-it looks thicker so whats the difference between the two crosslaces?

[winny]

that would be cool. but i doubt there gonna make on anyway

OR... you could respect their business and what they're doing. Like I do. I don't plan on stealing any pockets from any companies and writing tutorials. All along, I have said that it's less the legal aspect and more me respecting the guys over there at RP and don't want to take business away from them. THey're good guys.

seconding...

[JoshM]

Where did I say anything about disrespecting their business? Please don't put words in my mouth.

My post was more for a future-reference/information type thing. I do plan on doing a tutorial on a future website of mine, and I wanted to know if it was indeed legal. I was curious.

I never asked for you guys to post a tutorial for it, I know how to string it myself.

they just said they know it would technically be legal, but they like the guys at RP, and dont want to disrespect them and take their business by giving the their pockets out.

He speaks the truth...countless times i've heard livin4lax09 say that he talked to flip on the phone (who is a pretty cool guy) and has said that he doesnt want to take anything away from their business...

Besides....Rock-it Pockets arent for everyone..if you search the countless threads on this forum about if Rock-it Pockets are good or bad....all the answers you get will be divided..everyone thinks the minute they get a rock-it pocket it will be the best throwing stick in the world, and thats just not true...i've played with one just recently at my camp and there was nothing really special about it...So just let this thread die because neither kryptic or livin4lax09 want to make the tutorial and you guys should just respect that because they dont have to do anything they dont want...If someone else wants to do it then they will...

Ahh its good to rant sometimes

[JoshM]

I never asked them to make a tutorial. anywhere. All I did was post some general information about patents. Which I did because I've read numerous times that they would get sued if they did.

[livin4lax09]

sorry if my post reads like I tweaked. Didn't mean for an insult. I was juststating what I have said before and why i wouldn't write a tutorial even if it were legal.

[JoshM]

No Problem :)

And I have never seen you say that, I am pretty new here :)

[rebellax10]

I think that this tutorial was very funny. Plus the Rock-It pocket isn't the most special thing in the world like Mustang_Lax said. Id much rather have a mesh pocket.
I like to string customs because its an art I think and some of the pockets actually are very nice for game play. Just look at the pictures its not hard to do and its not hard to string. Its a simple knot and just a different weave.

For Sure!!! I'm right there with ya!!!

[wrwarrior19]

it is only on the george pocket

Don't think so! They twist the sidewalls on their other pockets. When I bought my original like 5 years ago that's how it's strung.

[wrwarrior19]

Point made! If anyone really wanted to string one, they'd just have to take some of those ummmm... Oh yeah! learn it yourself lessons.

[gibalax269]

For all you people who have complained about their being no rock-it pocket tutorial and that a rocket pocket it really hard, maybe you just havnt actually tried to do it yet and are overestimating it. And if you have done it before and just couldnt do it, maybe you arent experienced(cant sp)enough to do and u should try to do a bit more stringing before you try again. I have been stringing for about a year now and already i can string a RP (even though its horrible, i have to work on it). Now if i can do it without a tutorial, then i think that with a little practice, every one else can do it too.

[lottaLaX]

As soon as I get crosslace I am going to attempt a Rock-It Pocket.

[slinkyspine]

I did it th way kryptic and livin did btu i didnt know how to do the knots so i improvised a little but it still looks and shoots awesome

Thats a link that livin4lax09 has in the sticktech faq about the rock-it pocket...go there and go through the pictures...start at 14 i think and that should help...knots in this are the same as torpedo pocket so you can check that out too if you like...

that link really helps though...check it out

[slinkyspine]

yae i got them pretty cloase but they are jsut a little off but it stilll looks good and throws awesome

[laxgod1790]

The rock it pocket is a easy pocket to string. It just seems so hard because it is talked about all the time. I used the countless pictures of them to string mine. Also everybody talks about the saddle about it being hard to string. It is not hard to string once you actually go past the pact that it is a bundle of string. When people here Rock-It pocket they think omg it is godly and i will never be able to string it.

Although a tutorial would be nice it is almost not even neccessary. There is really only three parts and they are all basic and when you figure out how to do them Rp's are easy to string.

[dram183]

good job renewing a 2 month old thread? and saying the same thing that almost everyone else said before you? yeah.

[atacklax]

The only thing keeping me from stringing one is that I am still pretty clueless on how to string the coil up top. If I knew that, I would be able to string one no problem.

[Laxplayer1080]

haha. that was priceless.

everyone has such a huge problem stringing the sadle on these. i use a really tightly woven regular traditional knot for my saddle. personally i think it is better. it is easier to string, cleaner looking and i like how it positions the strings better. just my two cents.

[vroom125]

pretty funny. Think about how many people you let down. RPs aren't that hard to string. If you can't do it with pics, find someone who has one and try to copy it.

[Mid-nick]

That was pretty LAME making an announcement that there was going to be a tutorial that I suspect that 90% of the people that come to here was looking for.

When you say look at the pictures. Well I guess you didn’t think that there are people with less knowledge and experience than yourself and don’t know where to begin but O I forgot there are Pictures.

As for the patent, Please change a shooting string use more crosslace or do something that makes the pocket unique enough to say it’s not a RP something small.

This was like telling someone you have the cure for what ales them and when there half dead telling them the cure is being dead

[kingdawgell]

except for the part where its not life and death

and its LACROSSE... just a game

and as for the patent and changing it for it to be legal... what about maybe having some dignity? or maybe just respecting a company that made a pocket so good and exclusive they could get a patent on it. theyve been around for how many years now? their whole business is that pocket and how low would it be for one of the administrators to change a shooting string, provide thousands of people with a tutorial on a sick pocket, and ALSO ruin business for a company that makes just about its whole salary on a certain pocket

Bro are u saying that LAX is NOT ur life, say it aint so dude.

or am i just a loser, back me up if im right

[kryptic]

Hey, thats how I learned..and so did Brent

[goalieskcickay]

The only people who deserve to be able to string RPs are the ones who learned how themselves.

I guess you never downloaded music or borrowed DVD or copied it.
What about all the people who know how to do it and help there friends to learn should those people send RP money. If we didn’t improve and an existing design then we would all be driving around in a Model-T and GM wouldn’t exist

People are passionate about sports it might be life or death but ask a white sox’s fan how they feel about it and see if they don’t think there lives have been made a little better

[lilloaf1990]

See, the only thing i cant understand is the Top coil. I even have a factory strung head and i still dont know how to do the top coil. So when you say look at the pics, well the pics arent good enough you have a pic and its yours to keep.

[rebellax10]

Hey, thats how I learned..and so did Brent

Yup, that is also how i learned...Spent many hours of my life using that skill. It sure pays off.

[atacklax]

If people can post tutorials on the twisted sidewalls, the saddle, and the rock-it knot, then can someone please post an accurate saddle tutorial. I said accurate, so this doesn't count that bad tutorial someone posted.

[i live 4 lax]

it worked for me.

[Tex71]

yea i just strung one it came out pretty good with the pics but there are some little things that il end up tweaking but part from them i did it and i did it all from the pics

[livin4lax09]

just felt like bringin this sucker to the top for all you new kids who want to know how to string a rock-it pocket. ANd no, we will not make a tutorial. It's not about the patent, it's about respecting flip and what he does, and not wanting to steal any business from him. As for anyone who says "not everyone is as talented as you and kryptic," first you should probably check out kryptic's first custom pocket. I don't have photos of my first custom pocket, but it looked just as bad as kryptic's. We got to where we are with practice, and just attempts. We learned the string the RP from pictures, and so can you. With some practice, you can easily get it.

[laxman37]

ROFL... you guys fell for it... check the sources man

[laxfreakR220]

on the web site i was looking at a pic of the davis dog and i saw a coil at the very top. I this necessary?

Agreed. Guys, you dont need a tutorial! Im 13 and can almost string one. I have it down to about %92 good. Just use pictures. All of us used pictures.

Same but... 15.

[Wubbie]

hmm... Not the same, but I do worship you two...

And, in all due respect to myself, I never tried =P.

[Formerlaxdemon]

Same but... 15.


Wow. You two have made me feel quite old. Both of your ages combined equal the OLD Formerlaxdemon. *Sheesh* Well I didn't start stringing until this past September really so given a few months I am doing quite well. My RPs are pretty decent, but I prefer to string my version.

[nylax65]

So um, where is the tutorial... maybe it'll be up tomorrow.
Here is my tutorial: <( ' '<) <( ' ' )> (>' ' )>
yup this gave as much info as the other ones.
edit: i'm j/k by the way. didn't want to sound like a #$%*

[Arlingtonlax]

They took those pictures down from the site so you can't view or study the pockets close up!

[Jephman]

It's not bad. Only 11 yards.



OWNED! DUDE, EFFING OWNED! I SAW IT MYSELF, HE GOT OWNED!

They both know that when they renew the patent, Rock-It Pocket would have Kryptic and Livin's heads by suing the hell out of them.

No, because they did it during it wasn't patented. that wouldn't make sense if they were allowed to sue them.

[hulllaxplayer]

well that was completely pointless

definitly...why even waste our time. Its not a real tutorial

[B1ackout]

umm y was this bumped this was a very old thread
No, because they did it during it wasn't patented. that wouldn't make sense if they were allowed to sue them.
and idk if thats true but it would still be an insult to the good men at rock-it pocket that no one on this site would do.

[crazydrew86]

yeah whatever

[mohawklax1212]

this is what i will be spending my weekend doing.....

[fatlaxkid]

used the pics in this tutorial today actully, and strung my first one.

[Buzz1991]

hey its an okay tutorial for people who have ever seen a computer and can barely string mesh. but a rockit pocket is really easy and thats how I learned to string everything. look learn adapt

[laxn]

Also stop whining for a tutorial please, or complaining about this "tutorial" I think its just to make a point. Also look at the pictures string one than post ur result and ask for tips to fix it up. Its as easy as that, just do it.

[Arlingtonlax]

i am trying to do the pocket in two sets the middle channel and the saddle and then the sides but how ob should each string be stplit up. I know its 11 yards but can i geta recommendation for just the channel and saddle

Thanks

[livin4lax09]

please do a search. It's been discussed a ton of times, and specific measurements given quite a few times. But I may as well put this up for another reference. 4.5 on one side, 3.5 for channel, and 3.5 for other side.
