Attack Pocket Low?

[LAttackX]

This Varsity midfielder yesterday told me that the Attackman's pocket should be lower because they are constantly cradlying vetically. I was wondering if that is true. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

That is preference. I can cradle fine vertical with a middle pocket.

It is preference for the attackman.

Its all preference really. I've found that lower pockets on attack can come in handy, but I prefer a little bit of a higher pocket when playing attack. What he's telling you'll hear from many other people but they are pretty much telling you what they prefer. IN the end, its all preference.

Ok thanks guys, I was hesitant to say something about preference, but now I know full well that it is because I presonally didnt quite understand what he was geting at. Thanks alot gentelmen.

i recently converted from a mid pocket to a low one, and i play mid. i think the ball stays in the pocket better with a low pocket, but i also like the whip you get from a high pocket. its all preference.

i developed my own style check out my thread later when the pix are better

I play middie/atk, I use a backpocket because it has more time to leave the pocket and to me that makes a faster shot. some attackmen I have talked to have VERY high pockets because the want the QUICKEST release possible. Therefore, it is personal preference where attackmen put their pockets. ( I'm mostly attack. )

I play attack... rock the low/shallow pocket if you like (like me) one-handed cradling and quick passes/shots. Otherwise I'd probably suggest a mid-pocket.

That is... if you haven't developed your own style yet.

Pocket placement won't affect one handed cradling, unless you have terrible form.


A high pocket can work the same as a low pocket for one handed cradling if its strung correctly and you are pefectly vertical.

i completely agree except i cant stand wip so i like lower

slinky i disagree, if u have a high pocket it takes more force in 1 handed cradling to keep it high....if u are going to cradle a bunch 1 handed, i, personally, would not recommend a high pocket

I recently converted to a middle pocket. The the mesh sags down anyway when going 1 handed, so just go with whatever you feel most comftorable with.
