I have un macho problem. I was messing with my pocket last night trying to make it high (Stupid idea being as I have 3 games tommorow). It had tremedous whip so I fixed the shooters some more and redid the sidewalls so that they only went through one hole at a time. It still has a lot of whip. Anything that I could do to fix this super quickly?
Thanks.

Redo your sidewalls to give a low pocket and pound in the low pocket. Make sure your shooters are loose, getting gradually tighter the higher up you go.

The problem is that it is a 1st gen matrix so if I have a low pocket the ball gets stuck a lot. Does anyone have any combinations of shooters that work well for getting rid of it?
I have 4 across one after another.

You have a high pocket, loosen the sidewalls at the bottom, tighten them at the top. Also, try spreading out your shooters, and make sure they are tightest at the top, and loosest at the bottom.
EDIT: Just saw what you said about low pockets. Hmmm... I would just get a low pocket and hopefully it the ball won't get seriously stuck. I have an Answer that the ball gets stuck in, and even though it can happen, it rarely does.

Another problem with having a low pocket on a pinched head is the sidewalls break every 2 weeks because the ball hits them when I catch.
Would a nylon help at all?

Spread out your shooters so they are like |(space)|(space)|(space)| ect, instead of ||||
And make the sidewall string looser near the middle/low end, tighten it on top.

rolled shooters also could help. Much easier to adjust them and make them tight or loose, so you can experiment and change them easily.
