My Evo..again...upon request

[mustang_lax]

BelliesLax pm'ed me wanting to know how to string a high pocket with 5D. Ironically I was about to anyway. People have said that a high 5D pocket would suck because it is too whippy.. well I proved them wrong..HA

To string it..I couldn't use my double up method because then the pocket will become too deep and become illegal. So to keep the pocket high..I interlocked two links near the top of the head..so that the mesh wouldn't move up or down when one hand cradling.

It has a good, smooth, crisp release. The hold is like no other...AMAZING... When one hand cradling...the hld is great..and when you go to shoot..the pocket goes and stays up just like if you never one hand cradled..well check it out.

Dude that Evo is sweet, I tried to go to your tutorial on high pockets, but my computer never lets me. Awsome Evo.

Scratch that, I can now enter your tutorial.

pretty damn nice.. but it just looks way to soft, and i wouldnt be able to get whip outta a pocket like that

It's not soft..but yet..its not hard...it's kinda inbetween. Whip is just in the shooters. People say high 5d pockets are whippy because they don't tie their shooters loose enough. To get whip out..I leave all teh shooters unknoted..and go play soem wallball. Once it throws the way I like it..I tie off the knots and BAM throws like a dream

yea also kids dont roll their shooters they weave them which adds whip compared to loose rolled.

[a2lacrosse]

well if what you say about whip is true then i might try one of your high pockets out.

[Lacrosstitute]

That's rediculous is what it is. I couldn't throw at all with that.

i'm going to experiment with a high pocket at millon lax101 and creaseattack will tell you the results

[olax]

that an awesome string job i used ur tut and now have one on my evo pro

I tried getting a high pocket with 5D on my G-Force (without looking at any tutorials) and I ended up having to skip a diamond where I wanted my pocket to form when stringing the sidewalls. I thought the pocket would sag really low (illegally) and it would have way too much whip. But it turns out it has a pocket just legal and having three straight shooters kills most if not all of the whip.
Don't know if anyone else has tried/has this on a G-Force, but it sure turned out well and throws very nicely.

PS I can post some pics if anyone doesn't fully understand what I was trying to say (understandible)

[brett95lax]

Can you explain the linking of the two diamonds near the top? Or just take a picture of it? Sorry I really don't understand what your saying and from the pics I can't see it.

[mustang_lax]

If you look at the pic..the interlocked mesh is in the red. The mesh cannot move up or down because it is interlocked. If you look at the blue circles, the mesh isn't interlocked. Since the red is interlocked..it won't slide around like it would if it were strung like the blue. This allows the pocket to stay up high

[Ram-X-Man]

Howwell does it handle the ball when you are cradleing vertically? I had a super high pocet like that but I scrapped it becaause vertical cradling was out of the question.

[mustang_lax]

one handed cradling is good. the ball goes low..the mesh stretches...and it feels as if you have a low pocket. Sicne the pocket is strung to be high, the pocket will reform to its shape and stay high..not low

[brett95lax]

Alright I see what you did now. Thanks
