Strung this up quickly. Throws nice and its way better than my Love Pocket.
I will have a video if it in use in my other thread. I will post it tomorrow.

I couldn't find any white Hard mesh that was new so I used this old Navy Blue mesh. It is really cut down.

And the shooters look low but it throws great so no complaints there.

I will have pics of it tomorrow.
Videos of it in use tomorrow (posted in other thread).

looks good to me. im undesided on whether i like these video pockets. being able to capture all the angles is nice but with pics of was more specific and you could stare and concintrate on one part at a time.

i do like that shooter setup tho and so mayb i will have to string that on my next stick and see how i like it.

My Digital Cameras battery died. :crying:

I am charging it for tomorrow. :thumbsup:

And all you have to do is pause the video at the angle you want to see the pocket.
shouldnt the two nylons be closer together for the true cali connection?
um... Your right. But I like how it looks when you skip one row of diamonds.

And I have seen them with one row of diamonds skipped and some where it isn't skipped.

Example: Its like the Love Pocket you can have 2 or 1 straight nylons, its your choice.
From a film student's point of view...

This could be the poorest quality video ever made... hahahah

Anyways the stringing looks a little rough compared to some of your others.
Sorry that my $80 video camera doesn't please you.

And it is kinda messy, but just you wait. My younger brother is getting a gait Sentinal and STX Arrow and I am going to string the nicest pockets ever.

Think it looks pretty good, I agree with Legend in that ive seen you do better, but its not to bad.

And i also like the way it looks when you skip a row of diamonds.. so good call on that :clap:

that has to be one of the roundest pockets i have seen in a while. lol. but seriously, it looks good. i am personally not a fan of the loose bottom string though. other than that, gotta agree its not your best. my personal fav of yours is the love pocket in your P2

I think it looks good. I am trying to decide weather I am going to string one of those or a love pocket on my proton power

The pocket looks nice but the video is a little sloppy. Maybe its just the head, but the shooters look kinda low and different.

I have the cali conn on my stick now and i love it so much, but mine is like matt ward's with two nylons no spaces apart and the specailly rolled u's. Whatever u like tho its preferance, looks nice, and should be a lot less whippy than that love pocket

Yeah, and Matt Wards Cali Connection is a Love Pocket with more whip.
I don't like his Cali Connection.

why did you leave it loose up at the top sidewalls? is that to create the "love" channel"

The scoop bends in If I pull it in tight.
so in the cali connection, i get it except, are the u's weaved or rolled, because so many people ahve claimed that they do it right, but even you gigo have said or used weaved and rolled
Cali Connection: weaved

Lyle's Cali Connection: Rolled

Love Pocket: Rolled

Nice string job, I don't care if you did it right or not (though I'm sure you did it right) it looks very nice. I too like the pocket video idea, though I would like to see them more in action like throwing with it. I know its hard when you're alone, but if u have a bro or a buddy have him tape u playin some wall ball maybe.

i just realized something, you can leave it to gigo to come up with trends. whether or not they're succesful is another story, but he tries and you gotta give him props for that.

Yeah, my Tight Pants trend never really took off. Maybe because your balls would lose circulation. :chuckle:

hmm, so the cali connection has 10d across the top row, and no triangles. it also has no knot, right? now this is how yours is strung, but you said you were in a hurry. the love pocket is the one with the knot + triangles. did you skip anything? and the dreaded question, is this the REAL ORIGINAL cali connection?
