Would this be considered traditional, pita, rocket pocket, or even something else?

Post what you think this is and your coments.

The guy who strung it was my coach, hes an amazing stringer and strings a lot of different kinds of pockets.
Anyone else?

red dyed swerve
pita down the middle except the knots are doubled up, not like rp, but actually how the knots are tied at the bottom of the center in the pita pocket tutorial, plus a saddle in the middle
and it looks like the inner nylons are actually sidewall
plus pretty twisted up shooters
the center track is really good looking though

It looks like a RP/Pita hybrid, considering the track and saddle as previously stated. Very nice.

thats my idea for my next pocket (when i get some stringing stuff in). i plan on doing what your coach did for the "saddle" but i plan on doing it all teh way down the channel. we'll see how it turns out

Total Pita variation. Cool pocket.

BIG-BUN-B

very good-looking string and dye job, and that pocket is definetly a pita variation. the saddle at the bottom however, as someone obverved, is a lot like a RP. and the leathers that go under the sidewall, thats old-school...

have you used this head yet? thats a nice setup, i have to say im jealous....

I've threw with it today. It throws perfect. It has no whip just like i like it, and has a high pocket just like i like it. It shoots just on target too. It is barely legal and has a fantastic pocket. Its great, i love it.

thats pretty sweet string job

That's pretty cool. Besides the nodified (slightly because the knots are doubled up) pita twist in the center and the saddle, I noticed that between the inside and outside leathers was a length of string going down the ead where the outer nylons went around the leather and connected it with the leather and the inner nylons (actually sidewall) connected to the string instead of the outer leather. Pretty cool pocket.

Wow...That whole head looks amazing, from the dye job to the awesome pocket and on a swerve none the less, I would have to also say I'm jealous.

Thanks everyone for their coments.

Yeah this is like a varient of a pita pocket. Like said before the white string is sidewall and is not knoted to the outside leathers, which is weird? The saddle looks pretty nice though.

BIG-BUN-B

12-11-2005, 10:46 AM

The white string is not sidewall string, its actually i think a top string, but if you are talking about the white string in the middle it is definetly not sidewall.

Im talking about the string that connects the outer and inner leathers. Also isn't sidewall and top string the same thing?

BIG-BUN-B

12-11-2005, 10:51 AM

o i thought you were talking about the middle string. And sidewall string and top string are not the same thing, top string is thicker.

Pita Variation.

It has the basics of a pita, with slight changes.

Looks nice, though! How's it throw?

Its a trad with a channel
One of my teachers from school has that kind of pocket

Yeah your right. Its traditional from the outer to to sidewalls. For the inside to outside, the outside leather is connected by a tracker and the inside is connected by regular traditional. And the middle is just a pita with double knots.

looks okay, a little sloppy,b ut not bad. im not a fan of the sidewall string thats being used as regualr pocket lace. its sidewalls strinf for a reason. the shooters look a little sloppy too, but overall its not too bad

Chowder

12-11-2005, 02:13 PM

Sloppy? It looks better than 95% of the pockets posted up on this site.

mdawg

12-11-2005, 02:27 PM

Sloppy? It looks better than 95% of the pockets posted up on this site.

so? that doesnt mean its not sloppy. sure its better than some of the crap pockets that are posted, but that doesnt mean its anythign special. so to answer your question, yes it is sloppy.

i like the pocket, and the dye color looks really nice(i know random, but im gettign a swerve and dying it maroon so u know)

James

12-11-2005, 04:34 PM

Just a pita variant Like everyone else says

mdawg

12-11-2005, 04:56 PM

i dont care abotu that pocket, but personally i like my pockets to look good and play well

BIG-BUN-B

12-11-2005, 06:23 PM

what do you think is sloppy about the pocket beside the shooters? And the shooters are like that because i like them bulky so i throws better for me.

mdawg

12-11-2005, 06:51 PM

some of the knots are a little loose, the leathers are a bit bump, some strings are strung too losely. i dunno. its just a little sloppy

BIG-BUN-B

12-11-2005, 07:55 PM

Okay, show me where the knots are loose, show me where the strings are too loose, and you can just talk to bart simson about the leathers because there his.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice, I wish I could string customs like that.

looks good. just a pita with a saddle though.

are you serious? that doesnt look anything like traditional besides the fact that it has leathers. and if by channel you mean the twist down the middle, theres a pocket called a twisti which is just traditional with a twist down the middle to create a "channel". that is NOT traditional with a channel. its something radically different.

vroom125

12-11-2005, 10:58 PM

Its a pita variation. The track is a lot like a pita track. The rest is like a pita pocket. The white string is sidewall string instead of crosslace. The saddle isn't an RP saddle, but its there, which makes it different from a regular pita.

damn that is cool really like it :) :)

LaxZeppelin22

its has traker init right like a traker pita i guess

mdawg

12-12-2005, 09:49 AM

Okay, show me where the knots are loose, show me where the strings are too loose, and you can just talk to bart simson about the leathers because there his.

just look at the pocket, its just not that nice. i cant show you, i dont have the stick. and i dont care about the leathers, it doenst matter whose they are, they just werent streched enough when they were strung into the stick. you need to calm down about the pocket. you have to expect some not so positive remarks. just cause i wasnt ignorant enough to say "OMG dood sweet stix!!!!!!1111!!!" doesnt mean that my opinion is void, or inncorrect. as a fairly accompished stringer i think that i have an informed opinion, and when judging that pocket by my standards, its sloppy.

D Bay

12-12-2005, 10:55 AM

There is no trakker piece in it... Also Mdawg is right, about some strings being strung too loose and whatnot and that sidewall probably shouldn't have been used for the inner nylond. Also the leathers are in backwards. Still, whatever works, but I will side with him that there are things that could have deffinetely made it neater.

BIG-BUN-B

12-12-2005, 03:55 PM

the reason for the sidewall string being like that is because we had to pretty much completely just take out the 2 navy blue leathers because they were so thin. D Bay an Mdawg, the pictures are up there, point out where it's too loose so it can be fixed.

elementsk8r070

12-12-2005, 04:26 PM

The part where the white sidewall string is used in the pocket looks loose

People are just pointing out the bad parts of the pocket. No need to make excuses to defend the person who strung it.
