i just restrung my pocket, mid monster, and i love it, the only problem, from time to time i take the faceoffs, but i'm just wondering if it's legal for the ball to get stuck when i clamp, cause it goes in and dosent come out with out a hard throw.

turn it to the side if it doesnt roll out illegal tip it striaght so its perpindicular to the ground if it doesnt roll out its illegal

Haha. Well it might be that your head is too pinched too. Unless you never pinched it. A way to tell if it is legal is if it is below the bottom rail of the sidewall. It has to be even with that.

oh it's pinched, it's a profile, and profiles are already pretty pinched, and i pinched it even more, i just guess i'll have to get a different head for faceoffs.

my guess is you strung it wrong.

did you string it with the sidewall strings facing inwards or stright down? b/c if they are facing in you are basically cutting a half centimeter out of pocket width.

can you go get the ball stuck real quick and put a pic here? we could then tell you if its fixable. or just tell us how the ball is wedged in.

yea a pic would help.. Thats what heppened with my pinhed radius. I had the strings trie dinwards and the ball would get stuck

my camer's not working, and the problem is that i piched the head, and with the mesh and shootin sthings that thickness between the ball and the side wall is holding it in. i think all i got to do is take out one of my V's

either that, or hang your head over some steam for a few minutes to make the plastic maleable. then just continue sliding a ball in and out while it dries. or just take out a string.
