The Perfect Pocket.

[sweet_ceX]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give to you my first custom, the perfect pocket. The name is not in any way misleading, this is the singlehanded best pocket i have every played with.
The pocket is so soft when you catch the ball its just so solid. You dont even have to give at all, the pocket does the work.
A great great deal of hold and a perfect minimal whip passing comes with it.

None of you will ever have any idea how great this thing is.
You have to play with for the full expierence.

Looks sorta shallow, and the leathers are a little crooked. But nice job.

[penguinwobbler]

looks pretty nasty, is it on your game head or not? cuz if it isnt that is unfortunate

[stx4lif3]

wow its any all pita channel thatrs sick

[Big-Red]

looks cool. Leathers are kinda clumpy though..

[UVAlaxer432]

cool...........

[moondog]

How long did that one take you to put together?

[sweet_ceX]

It is shallow unless you cradle...its good like that. The leathers look crooked because they are loose. The pocket is so soft as a result and also results in a nice solid catch.

It is my game head.

How long did that one take you to put together?
A week in all, the sidewalls were unique so it took me a while to think it up, I based it off the concept pocket.

[stx4lif3]

you said that its veyr saoft wen you ctach and cradle how does it throw then

[sweet_ceX]

Incredible. Minimal whip, just enough. You can feel the ball release but it doesnt touch the plastic at all. Alot of hold too.

Pretty much you can alter it's pocket within a minute. Just pound it whereever you want and it will stay there until you change it again.

you gave my my idea for my next pocket its going to look something like yours

[fossil8412]

Looks really good. I like how you finished the channel at the bottom with 2 holes in the leathers, like Rock-it Pocket does. Also, good choice of head to string it in. You should have pinched it a little first though. That would have been siiick.

[CnSLax3]

Already seen it u didnt make it up.
see: http://community.webshots.com/album/413622147WyuArn

[sweet_ceX]

Whatever you say buddy...
I bet you saw something different, my sidewalls and top string are different than anything Ive ever seen. INcluding the pics you posted.
Plus I finished through holes in the leather at the bottom.

[lildixon]

I guess I'm just not gettin the same excitement level vibes, looks pretty cool though

[CnSLax3]

Srry to say "buddy" but none of ur pics have the topstring in them :nut:
And tying though the leathers does effect preformance. Try again maybe ull make some better that u can call ur own.

[D Bay]

The reason your leathers are bunched up and crooked is because you tied your knots too tight. This is a common mistake for beginning trad stringers. If you have a little extra string, untie it and use it and just sort of distribute a little more string through each tie-off. You will find the pocket is more "free" if you do this

[sweet_ceX]

sorry for the lack of lighting. Here is my top string.
Trust me Cns, I have better things to do then copy someone else's pocket and clal it my own.

too bad that pocket is patented

[sweet_ceX]

too bad that pocket is patented
By whom may I ask?

[stx4lif3]

too bad that pocket is patented
what company sells that pocket because i havent seen anything like it

[syracuselax3]

^^Not really sure, but it might be that company that makes that face-ff trainer thing. I thought i saw one like that on there.

[crazydrew86]

i dont know who patented it but ask mccool he knows everything about pockets.

No one was suggesting you were trying to steal someone elses pocket they were just informing you that it had been done. There really arent that many pockets that havent been done. It also reminds me of the concept pocket. It is a good pocket just nothing " incredible". The topstring is a good idea

[crazydrew86]

that is exactly how the top is done in the pocket you probably saw it somewhere and tried to pass it off as your own.


sry for the double post

Actually I got the idea from a thing on e-lacrosse where he said he could take his pita variation out of his head and easily transfer it to another. Thats what i originally went for but this is what it ended up evovling into.

[WickedDpole21]

looks kick arse. and on an x2.....truly perfect.

Dude, I've been playing with a Perfect Pocket since 2000. I freakin LOVE that pocket. I forget the name of the company that makes it, but I know Stylin-Strings.com has a similar pocket.

If any of you find out which company does that, please let me know, cause I want all my heads done with the Perfect Pocket. That thing has been my salvation. It got me through college.

[PMRaiderLax6]

Is it indeed patented? Because if it is just a pocket that anyone can string and doesn't belong to someone, I'd love to add it as an option on Quik Stik Lacrosse...but I don't want to upset anyone, so someone let me know if they know anything about it before I do it.

[PMRaiderLax6]

T-fog? nope, I was just on that website. They do however have a pocket that lookes exactly like a rock-it pocket, except with crosses as the track (look under products at the "traditional II" pocket).

That answers my question...

[OULax6]

That answers my question...

I love how this kid got so defensive because his pocket was "totally original" and that he had "never seen it before".

I also like how he named it "the perfect pocket", when in actuallity, there was already a pocket called "the perfect pocket" that was exactly the same.

Well in that that thread posted it is not the same as mine because though he does run a string across the top, I attach my crosslace to it.
And it was my friend that gave it the name the perfect pocket.

[CnSLax3]

:clap: Guess i was right.

The one on SS that is very similar is the concept pocket.

[soclax15]

If I had to bet I would say that you absolutely did not string that pocket. Bacharach sold that pocket for years before they closed, and it was called the perfect pocket. Several of my teammates used that pocket in high school. Your "custom job" is strung exactly the way bacharach did it all the way down to the topstring, brown leathers, and shooters (type of shooters, and the way they're done). Don't try and pass it off as your own unless you're the guy that started them at bacharach back in the late '90s. You've been found out dude, why don't you actually come up with your own design next time.

"sorry for the lack of lighting. Here is my top string.

...obviously you don't

[CnSLax3]

^^ lol i like that "...obviously you dont."

[carolinafreak]

modesty- not sweet_ceX

[D Bay]

be careful when you accuse him guys, if this was a honest very unlikely coincidence, you will look like an arse if he can somehow prove he did it.

[soclax15]

^^ lol i like that "...obviously you dont."

The saddest part is that he didn't even string it himself and try to pass it off as his own design, he just plain took a strung head from somewhere else and pretended he did all the work. It's like instead of me plagiarizing Mark Twain, I just grabbed a copy of Huckleberry Finn and said "hey, read this great book I just wrote!"

[CNSlax]

something something

[CnSLax3]

I didn't say he didn't do it himself im just telling him its not original and then he started to get all defensive.

[soclax15]

I considered not calling him out for this very reason. However, I am 100% sure that he didn't string that pocket himself. He can tell me that he did it until he's red in the face, but that won't make it true.

[penguinwobbler]

thats to bad, it sounded like a sick pocket, but its unfortunate you may have plagerized :imparied: :ahhno:

snap man if thats true this might me the lamest thread thats been posted since i got to this site. i mean??? comeon. i dont know if thats true or not but if it is really now. thats jsut low.

Does anyone have a pic of a Bacharach perfect pocket so we can compare?

You have some solid reasons for not believing that it's his or that he even strung it, and personally, I believe that you're right, I just can't think of any reason why he would take a pocket strung and invented by someone else and try and pass it off as his own when it wasn't to impress people on the internet, especially since he will never actually meet most of them.

I'm as bewildered as you are, but that's exactly what he did. It's the same thing as the rediculous claims in the "what's your (shot speed, 40 speed, max bench) threads". Apparently being cool on the internet is almost as good as being cool in real life.

[CnSLax3]

Its not so bad that he stung it and said he made its up (its hard to string anything original today :nut: ) but even after we told him it was already done he still insisted.

[James]

My personal opinion He had seen the pocket but since he added the topstring it was different in his opinion . For most of the people on the forums this is not enough to pass the pocket off as his own, but it seems as if it was for him. Just my take on it. I dont know why he would try to pass it off as his own. He has been here long enough that you cant fool alot of the tlf vetrens. People remember stuff and you simply wont get away with something like this. I dont think he was trying to get e-props for this. I think he honestly think the topstring makes it entirely his

I'm not even a veteran and i new it wasn't original. No sir he cant pull the wool over my eyes. :nono:

The top string was part of the original Bacharach design for the Perfect Pocket. The stick in the pictures was strung by Bacharach, no doubt about it. Bacharach used to use those exact type of hockey laces and they were strung in that particular way. They also used brown leathers, and put athletic tape towards the top of the leathers, which can be seen in the pictures of the top string he posted. Lastly, that's how Bacharach did the sidewall string in that pocket as well. This kid didn't string that stick, I am 100% certain of that.

[crazydrew86]

yeah the top was done exactly that way i dont know if bacharach patented it tho i dont know much about bacharach. i have only seen one in my life and it wasnt done by bacharach, it had white leathers and all, i think the one i saw was made by someone at pro pockets

[Last Don]

I can take a pic of my Perfect Pocket when I get home from work, and post it. It's been used A LOT, but it's still identical to that one.

Mine was from Bacharach. I bought it off a friend who worked there.

[keenan]

my friend has one exactly liek that on a proton
brown leathers, wierd rolled shooters
I could get pics in a couple days if anyone wants

[A-D-I-D-A-S]

Ok pocket i've seen better but you might want to pinch that head it looks like you could put three balls where the pinch should be.
