Tighten up the Z's down the middle that should help. Or just go to www.rock-itpocket.com and look at the pics there and compare your RP to theirs.

actaully i think it looks really good, one of the best ive seen, only one better would have to be Livinforlax09 or whatever (Brent is his name) Guru RP.

The middle actually looks good even tho its loose because it has the formation of the ball = better hold

good job

You should have a greater density of strings in the middle so that once you break it in it won't get lopsided.

Yeah, tighten up the middle so the strings all look about the same length horizontally, then fix the sidewalls so those wraps you did become coils, and you have a pretty nice pocket.

wait the sides are supposed to be coils? i thought they were twists on the website? can you clarify?

Between the sidewall string you just string on its own and the outermost leathers, you are supposed to do coils between the free-standing sidewall string and outer leathers, not twists. Do that and make your middle even, and it will look great.

I don't think theres supposed to be any coils near the sidewall.

It may be to wide in the middle. Is it's too wide then it may get stuck alittle in the middle causing crappy release

its twists, not coils....

yea u do twists from the sidewalls to the inner leathers and interlock the knots with the Zs in the middle. The only coil on an RP is the very top one isnt it?
