Why does 6-diamond add whip? - I'm using it right now and I hate whip...should I switch to hard mesh?

ya switch to hard mesh. The reason why 6 diamond adds whip is because there are less diamonds

if you hate whip then yes. think of it like walking across a footbridge or something where there is gaps. if the gaps are smaller between the boards it is easier to walk acorss, if they are further apart there is more things to catch on or a bigger area for soemthing to catch on. i dont know if that made any sense but yeah.

simply put...the lesser diamonds creates more of a hold so wen releasing the ball is help more by the diamonds

if you can string it right then it wont matter...like just mess with the shooters and you can get rid of all the whip the stick has...

When I string 6D I just put three straight rolled shooters and it has no whip at all.

I had 6D on my Razer and I had the same problem. Hard mesh is great and so is Jimalax's hard mesh variation catapultion. Check that out too.

yea the catapulation is awsome thats what im using now. but u could get rid of the whip just by messing around with the stringing and shooters

Yea I have 6d on my G-Force with only 2 shooters and it has barely any whip...I guess it's all in the way you string up your pocket.

Bigger diamond = better hold = more grip = more whip.

the truth is it dosnt add whip all mesh is the same the only diffrence is how easy or hard it is to make a pocket for example it is easier to make a pocket with 6d then hard mesh because there is less mesh to be streched. but the truth is the type of mesh dosnt change whip or hold, its the person and how they make the pocket
