My G-Force with hard mesh is being *****y right about now, and isn't consistently keeping its pocket and throwing differently every time I hit the wall. It has 2 straight hockey lace shooters (gapped) starting where the head expands (look at a pic of one, you'll see where I mean). The sidewall doesn't seem to be the problem, and that leads me to believe the bottom string is. I've tried a bunch of different combinations so far on this stick, and nothing really seems to work well.
Basically, how do you guys/girls string your bottom string?

yeah ...try lacing it a different way ..or adjusting your shooters...maybe throe in a nyon at the top...if you only have two shooters..i don't think its enough..i like to go with a U and two shooters then a nylon at the top...and its always consistent..

Thanks anyways, I have enough experience to know when the problem is shooters, and when it is a different problem with the stick. If you've ever thrown with a G-force maybe you would know why I use 2 shooters. I diagnosed the problem to be specifically caused by the way my bottom string is tied on this stick, thus to fix my problem I wanted specifc methods for tying the bottom (maybe even a diagram).

i have a good inch or so how is your bottom string strung you if you have two loops on the bottom make sure they are both even and make sure the string is long enough

ok.. cloo will probably shoot me for this, but here i go.

My guess is that the problem is how crazy pinched the g-force is. ok, so you have a mesh stringing right? well, the mesh is the same number of diamonds all the way down the mesh, rectangle shapre right? well, as you string it you will realize how naturally deep the mesh pocket is near the throat because there is such little distance between the sidewalls... this continues all the way up until it branches out if im not mistaken. then all of a sudden the head flares a huge amount to make it legal pinched. this would create like a very steep ramp as suddenly the limp mesh is being pulled rather taught to conform to the rules. thus you have like a super-offset pocket right?

my guess is that all your knowledge on how to use shooters just doesnt work the same way as it does with lesser pinched heads because you do not have to combat such a ledge with them. i would suggest that while your toying with your stick go ahead and tighten each of the shooting strings a bit. that may or may not cure the problem.

once again i state that this is pure speculation and not absolute truth...
