Biggest pocket contest

[Talent223]

Ok, this is just for fun, no prizes.

Since most people's season's are over, they have no need for a legal stick.
Lets see who here can string the deepest pocket in a non-goalie head. This can include box heads, mesh, or traditional.
Lets see some really deep pockets.

[b-waterlax]

can we use goalie mesh?

[Talent223]

Yea, why not, but I was mainly talking about regular meshes.

[James]

fine fine, I will go find an old piece of 6 diamond then string a super bag. You happy

[goalieskcickay]

I strung a Guru with 17d mesh. Too bad I'm vegetating right now. I'm way too tired to post pics. Maybe later. You're welcome in advance for this informative post.

[laxpro]

:lol:
17D in a guru. You are amazing. :clap:

[James]

Well I can beat goalieskcicay but here is a good try

sorry about terrible pics, can find good camera. Just so you know its 1 and 2/3 balls deep.
EDIT, I meant cant I really did

[goalieskcickay]

Now keep in mind, this is as small as I could possibly make it. I had to drill 4 new holes.
When throwing, you either have to end your arc after about a foot, or risk breaking a window--one that's behind you. I'm not kidding, if you pass or shoot normally, the ball come out behind you.

This is a 17 diamond soft mesh piece on an m1. This is the largest bag ever made.

[rockfordlax1]

http://thumb2.webshots.com/t/42/43/0/82/46/2322082460092444822stQfHL_th.jpg (http://)
now theres the true winner.. sweet M1 my coach has one on his OLD d-pole

[jedimasterPIMP]

Seriosly using goalie mesh is cheating, see who can get a bag out of just using normal mesh, and that will be the winner. I had one of my sticks strung with a bag before, but I just took it out this morning, maybe I will get in this later though...

[D Bay]

Yeah, let's go with regular mesh on regular sticks...I'll go string one up now

[atacklax]

Does the pocket have to be usable? Some 10 foot long sidewalls would help here.

[MidiLine1]

So if goalie mesh doesnt count, then the guru is still winning.

[jedimasterPIMP]

So if goalie mesh doesnt count, then the guru is still winning.
17D is not regular mesh.

[crazydrew86]

i think it must be leagal for field. because a guru or a box head will auromaticaly win because the stick has a smaller face causing a bag

[MidiLine1]

17D is not regular mesh.

Sorry, i feel nooby now. I didnt look that close and assumed it was reg. mesh.

[Thomson#1]

whoa, thats huge goalie pocket, does it release?

[manup5183]

if you have soft worn in mesh and soak it. you can get around 3 inches deeper

[I Am Legend]

Not as deep as some of these, but to me this this thing is huge

EDIT, I meant cant I really did

iv seriosuly played in games with a pocket bigger than that lol

[kermlax5]

i think a rule should be the sidewalls have to be tight because anyone can make a deep pocket with just using 10 feet on the sidewall and have it hand.

and functional meaning you can actually make some sorta pass with ti and doesnt go straight to the ground or just doesnt come outta the stick

[OULax6]

STX Heat+Micro Mesh= a possible winner.

cant wait till my heat comes in the mail so i can do it!!!

[thedamnedfan]

Man... I just cut up my only piece of Micromesh to make a corner pocket. If I would have threw that on my E3 I woulda had a nice deep pocket... darn.

you dont see how truely deep this is, its at least a ball and a half. the funny thing is is that i use this stick in games and it throws great(at least for me!)

edit: fergot the pics!! one sec

[matt c]

just a tip for anyone who is entering. buy a brine mesh screw thing and just screw it all the way.

[Buzz1991]

whoa, thats huge goalie pocket, does it release?
No Way. but It has more hold than anything I've ever used.

[D Bay]

Here's my answer strung with cata and double sidewalls. This is a second gen answer, too, that's why I think it's stupid when people complain about 2nd gen answer pinches. It warped this way in the first couple of weeks I had it, now I have trouble keeping the pinch legal

This is a 17 diamond soft mesh piece on an m1. This is the largest bag ever made.

Your thumbnails link me to some random site... "Web Naming and Addressing Overview". Can I get some bigger pics? Or, if you want you can just tell me how you did the topstring.

[nofear45465]

i wish i still had the piece of hardmesh in my primer where i screwed it progressively tighter and tighter for 3 or 4 days, and i took it out, and you could fit 2 balls in on top of each other and it would still be a little bit illeagal.


and D-bay's pocket is huge.

[laxkid891]

haha sick dbay is that a woodie i see?

[Buzz1991]

I skipped 1 hole in every knot. the knots are like sidewalls but tighter.

Does this count as normal mesh? And look, sidewalls taut, even the bottom string. It throws fine. Who rocks. :loser:

[Talent223]

[leftwonder2]

darnit, i wish i took pics of my tourque the other day, it had like a pocket about 2 balls deep, and it threw almost as nice as my game stick. ill look and see if i have any pics of other sticks with big pockets.

[goalieskcickay]

You're lying. No stick with a pocket 2 balls deep can throw well. Period. :whyme:

[MidiLine1]

A goalie stick can, haha. :naughty:

[yankees33]

yo i got a nitrous really dep and i play w/ it ill get a pic up soon

[Sesor]

Alright as soon as I finish dyeing my wizard I'll string up something...

[I Am Legend]

You're lying. No stick with a pocket 2 balls deep can throw well. Period. :whyme:

i could possibly see if it were a low pocket...it would have enough room to roll out....but Im going to agree with you and say no pocket that deep with throw consistantly well.

[NF Lax23----<o)]

The deepest so far... I think
http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/7963/bigpocket6uk.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
and before you whine... no the ball doesn't fall out of the bottom

[Attackalltheway]

I'm gonna string something up when my order comes in from jima.

Pretty darn close to mine...right around 2 balls deep

[Teo]

Look at your bottom string though... Its not that cool unless you tighten that up. PLus you have no shooters.

[PhishMeister]

I am going to string something up very soon with either A. a soft piece of goalie mesh or B. a soft piece of micro mesh.

[Orange]

Razer with soft 5D mesh.

I probably could have gotten it bigger but didn't want to be too cheap and make the sidewalls even more lose. And I also didn't pound it or anything.

Basically two balls deep WITHOUT the pounding.

[GarysGod]

http://img228.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sany01181ng.jpg

I win.

how do you win, you cant just have the loosest bottom string ever, thats pretty cheep

[slinkyspine]

how do you win, you cant just have the loosest bottom string ever, thats pretty cheep
And its a goalie stick...


Orange wins...

[laxiceman]

Thats really deep Orange. Although, those sidewalls and bottom string are really loose so does that really count? Really deep pocket though. Can you throw at all with that thing?

I know this question is going to come back and smack me in the face, but....

Where did you manage to find soft 5 diamond?...

[LaxDr]

D bay how did you get your pocket so big? i need to know.

[Orange]

I know this question is going to come back and smack me in the face, but....

Jimalax. They don't sell it but gave it to me sort of as a joke.

[NF Lax23----<o)]

not to complain, because my pocket is pretty much all in the bottom string, but Orange, your pocket is all in the sidewalls... if you tightened them to normal that pocket would only be about and inch or so illegal.

Yeah I know... I just did it for fun I'm not trying to like win or steal anyone's glory.

[wiggidawack]

laxdr, im gunna go out on a limb here and say you could use goalie mesh if you want a reallllly deep pocket

[vcu_lax20]

d bay likes going 2 balls deep right? haha

[D Bay]

d bay likes going 2 balls deep right? haha
:chuckle: well, to answer lax dr.'s question, I used double sidewalls, but still kept them very tight (orange) jk, but yeah I kept them really nice and tight and put 2 diamonds to every single bracket if not 3 in one place

[D Bay]

You're lying. No stick with a pocket 2 balls deep can throw well. Period. :whyme:
Eh, mine throws well. It's very whippy, but I would do fine with it if I used it in a game. This could be because my sidewalls are tight and it's cata, so it's really hard, though

[cougarlax4]
