Really, thats it? I guess that wouldnt be too hard...

BTW im looking for pockets that would be practical to use. Not like the Big Word or Grunk. Atleast they dont look like they would be too hard.

Yep, creating your own custom can be used to match your preference.

You seem like a very helpful guy. Do ya think I could PM you with some questions about designing one. and maybe, just maybe you could answer them.

Il even call it the gigo pocket. Or maybe not...

I would actually go for a Grunk. I strung in one of my back ups and loved how it threw. It also wasn't too hard to string. I think formerlaxdemon strung one too and liked a lot (I could be mistaken though)

Quite right. I liked the Grunk a great deal and found it to be a very versatile pocket.

you can go to www.stylinstrings.com to look at their pics, they have a lot of creative and practical ideas over there. i recently sturng the trax pocket, and im still tweaking it, but when its perfect it'll hopefully throw, well, perfect! e-lacrosse of course has tuts and those hype contests, www.laxnation.com also has some contests to study, even www.lacrosseunlimited.com has a custom stringing section to look at and study. its all about looking at the other pockets out there, decided which one you like, and stringing that up. i personally like to study all the pockets and this site to see how they throw, amount of whip and stuff like that.

good post punkerdude, good post.

i would maybe try something like a torpedo, which is my personal favorite, but making your own custom is good also

hmm.. can I ask what a "relatively normal" pocket has to do with shot speed??
