Pocket Tips...

[Mhaze21]

anyone got any tips for me? i want to make my pocket more in teh middle of my stick, rather than by the ball stop...i have a trakker pocket, by the way.

um... the Profile is VERY nice for getting a pocket right on top of the shooting strings, i dont know how youd do it with a trakker pocket, and its hard to get a "new" pocket if theres already one established, but if you REALLY want it, restring the head, and do the "butter knife" trick up high on the head where you want it.

also remember that a lot of where the pocket is located is determined by the tightness or looseness of the sidewall strings. if you want it more in the middle, loosen the sidewall strings in the middle of the head, and tighten the sidewall strings toward the bottom. another thing that helps is to take a piece of grip tape and tape together the bottom of the pocket. this forces the ball toward the middle and prevents the pocket from forming at the bottom
