custom goalie pockets

[WestSideLa X eR]

I need to restring my pocket, i got 12 d from jimalax and it doesnt throw and its really shallow so i was thinking about a custom

[spenny]

i havent seen any of the ones you have listed. i have one of jon's no rebound 1s and i like it quite a bit. i also think flips pocket would probably be really good too. when i played goalie in college, my pocket was traditional and i did a similar thing to channel the ball to the middle.

let us knwo what you chose and how it works out

space commander!!! do they even make those anymore?

[KHSGoalie]

i wouldnt pay someone to string you up a sick pocket. just sit around this summer and try some different things. i have a mesh x-ish setup in my stick right now.

Just got an Eclipse with a Power Pocket from QC Lax. Very nice pocket. Stick throws and cradles great.

anyone got links of all of those, i havent seen some of them

Decided against space commander, it would take tons of readjustment after every game, and plus after a couple really hard shots id have to readjust

[WestSideLa X eR]

yea, no rebound is a bit too expensive for me 75 bucks plus ship

so its mesh x or i have to get someone to restring my stick, i cant string goalie sticks but im going to a goalie stringing clinic this summer but i need a pocket before that

what makes you think that? my all traditional goalie stick didnt need much adjustment, certainly not after every game, maybe if it got wet, or something like that.

i'm just curious

the no rebound is terrible for the money no pocket at all, i get my strung up by a kid in mass. does an excellent job, charges like 25 or 30 bucks...he did up one of Paul Spellmans stick once. Tho...the space commander looks sick lol

[LaxGoalieLZ]

What does your stick looklike, and is there a way you think he could string mine.

[btkid08]

ill give ya all the info, just PM me with some info and ill hook ya up with the kid

spenny--i guess i was just assuming, cause i was considering how leather and nylon would stand up to continuous 50 mph shots if not harder. I string short sticks but i dont know much about goalie pockets so i want to have this pocket for a long time withought adjustments, like a permanant pocket. You have trad. goalie sticks? How did they hold up?

[NeMeSiS]

i dunno but am i the only one here who strings his own sticks, i mean, sure i have people show me new and creative things but mostly its all from days of sitting at home watching a college game wishing u were playing right then and there lol

[WestSideLa X eR]

yea i tried stringing my stick but i cant get it right no matter what, it might just be the mesh

yes, it never was a problem, mind you college was a few years ago, but i dont remember spending any time (certainly not a lot) keeping it in shape.

i've only played goalie a couple of times since college (ive gone back to my natural position close D) but ive played with mesh each time. ive had to messmore with mesh sticks than trad sticks over the years.

i'm actually messing with some new goalie pocket ideas right now, i'll let you know how they turn out. i'm also waiting for the guy who runs our youth program to get me a couple of the old goalie sticks (goalmasters) and i;m going to string one of them in traditional and give it to my goalie to see what he thinks

[LaxGoalieLZ]

^ i wish our coach knew whast he was doing and could actually help me out with my stick and everything

[OCLAX14]

Hey I string all the goalie sticks on our team, all with huge pockets, but they don't have hardly any whip...i'll do it for the price of the mesh & shipping. PM me if your interested

[WestSideLa X eR]

i strung mine with magic wand, but do you guys keep your sidewall tight or loose?

[NeMeSiS]

god my pocket is soooo nasty, its like a bag, but with such a nice release ill try to get pics up its awesome, its got a regular V type stringing i put in there but the pocket is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NASTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[zizuhyte]

i think if you really needed to, you could figure how to string a no rebound II

[nmlax22]

Nemesis, could you get me a pick? I'm sending my nemesis in for a replacement (toook a shot off the scoop and stuck it in the ground in one motion and SNAP) and im gonna mess around with the stringing in the one i get before summer lax.

[jpmahoney]

doesnt all that stringing on the spacecommander make the stick really heavy

[EndlesFimbulvet]

Yes. Yes it does.

Please dont bring back old threads to ask irrelevant questions.
