It not a trick. Its what I call it when I put a ball it my pocket and put a butterknife across the ball so it makes the pocket deeper. What are some other technique.

or you could just get a pocket screw and a pocket pounder... but whatever works...
I just went out in the rain w/ my "for her pleasure" pocket... and was practicing at the wall w/ that. It is great! it breaks it in nice!
My #1 advice... if you want a pocket that can w/stand any weather... STAY AWAY FROM SOFT MESH!!!!
the ball and butterknife trick does work really good... I had mine sitting overnight!

screwdrivers serve a double perpose if your head breaks in a game

the thing with teh screwdriver is that it is the ridges that cut the sidewall it is perfectly safe to use a knife just when you pull it out dont let the ridges touch the sidewall

Use a teaspoon instead of a butter knife. Not the teaspoons you measure with the ones that you stir your ice tea with. They're long and have a small spoon part and are really durable and dont cut away at sidewalls. I've been doing that and people say my pockets turn out kick *** and everyone always askin to try my sticks out

i dont know what you guys are doing w/ the butter knife.. I put mine in on its side! lol I've never had any problem w/ my sidewalls... I use a knife from one of those three in one camping silverware kits... It's completely flat, and works great!

i wet the pocket with warm water then put a ball in with a knife and then the next day after 242 hours, i wet the pocket with warm water again and then put the ball oin the other side of the head and and put it through the side wall (pictures might be coming soon if you are confused) it works

Use a screw driver you can turn it easier

i got this huge arse screwdriver, and the shaft is squared, and it's got some diameter, and if you put the ballin and turn the screw driver it kinda rachets it in, it's good stuff.

what would happen if you didn't wet the netting?

see i use a butter knife
because it is flat and keeps the ball legal
if you were to use something round or big
it would push the ball to low, so when you take out the the screw driver or whatever object you use it has a higher risk of making the pocket illegal
that is just what i think anyways
