i think it looks a little sloppy, but i haven't done an RP on such a pinched head before. i like the colors though.

You made a serious mistake in stringing this pocket. Based upon your thread title this is supposed to be a George Rock-it Pocket, but you have too many side strings. The George pocket skips one each time on both sides. You seem to have only done that in a few places.

i'm sure you've been there and such, but im just using it to prove my point. they have 3 side strings strung the classic way, but i felt that if i started skipping side strings at the point where i was supposed to, the top wouldnt be tight enough, and thus i'd have more whip than i wanted. so this was a completely conscious choice to make 4 side strings in the classic form, instead of three.
but thanks for the constructive feedback

Thanks for the clarification. The way that Rock-it Pocket gets the top to be tight enough is to include several (more than two from my experience), tight, nylon shooters. You have not made a George pocket, but more of a "George's Big Brother."

agreed. in my last post i was going to say that i could call it a george 'variation', but figured that sounded way too sarcastic, and didn't want to sound like i was trying to be like that.
i'd change the name of the thread, but i just like it too much :clap:

Definitely keep the name of the thread. It is one of the most eye-catching thread titles around right now.

maybe if Macdonalds gets into lacrosse you can show them that pocket. I think I might string a rp for annapolis, (you gave me the inspiration, it looks really nice)

And what, sir, is wrong with the Redskins? Are you not a hog fan?
(Also, it would help if it was marroon crosslace)
Looks great.

As you said its slightly sloppy but done pretty well. The leathers look unstretched.

yea. they aren't. RYU said in a thread that he didnt understand why people streched their leathers so much. but i just didnt really want to stretch them, dunno why. lazyness. but yea im stringing one for my friend, so ill probably stretch those.

yeah if you stretch them it will come out cleaner
