So, I was sick a little while ago, and stayed home for a few days. During those days I didn't have much to do so I just looked through old threads and stuff in this section of the forum, and decided I wanted to try and string some things harder than mesh, because it looked like fun. So, I ordered some stuff from Jimalax, and decided I would try a Pita for my first non-mesh. I used Kryptic's tutorial for it, and heres what I came up with:

What do you guys think? Any thing I can do to make it nicer without restringing the whole thing? Any tips/suggestions for my next try?

Looks good to me, but I didn't really examine it or anything. Try cleaning up that massive wad of string at the end.

you should tighten the middle where you twist it looks wide where the ball would sit

Looks really good for your first try. Just clean up the middle a little bit, it looks kinda sloppy.
That does look like sidewall....

very good first try. Clean up that string. I know u probably feel like u will need it for some adjustments, but u wont need near that much. and obviously add some shooting strings.

Thanks for all the comments guys. About the wad of string, I will get rid of it soon when I cut all the strings and stuff, but I was lazy and just tied the extra center twist and inner nylons together. I will tighten up the middle, and add shooting strings soon. And, I used crosslace, it isn't sidewall.

you didnt interlock your middle strings correctly, and you forgot to interlock one all together. that is the only thing wrong, the rest looks good.

Can you explain to me or something how to do them correctly, I'm not too sure how, I didn't even know I did them wrong. And, I see the one I didn't interlock, thank you for pointing that out I would have totally missed it.
Edit: Fixed that one non-interlocked part, put I still don't know what I did wrong on the rest of them, can anyone tell me?
