What is "Power V"

[MikeWood]

Hey, I was thinkin about ordering a new head off the internet. I had a choice to get it strung with a "Power V" I think I already know what it is but could someone tell me what it is just in case

[OttO]

it is a V in the stick, sometimes people shape it as a U though.:cool

i was just kidin' but thats what i usualy use

[mwn8989]

im partial to "V"'s my self, but in general a "U" or "V" pocket is one with the bottom shooter curved around instead of the traditional straight lateral shooter, this helps channel the ball and usually provides more accuracy and power.

i like to use double v's or u's like a diamond <> like that a
although the bottom one doesn't do much for throwing

[mwn8989]

acctually, it wouldnt do anything for throwing, in fact what WOULD it do? besides add extra weight, and depending on how high up it is, interfere with your shot/pass

[bigOHlax]

it basically just helps with keepin the pocket defined. And when cradling it just helps the ball to stay in on spot. Gives it less space to roll when the ball is just in your stick

[mwn8989]

hmmm, thats a good point

[lax n brew]

Sounds cool! I'm not gonna try it any time soon... but if i ever go back to mesh, i'll give it a whirl!

[Dpolelax]

i saw a lot of kids with those at camp. they said they liked them a lot. i may give it a try sometime.

Hmm one of my sticks has a power V and i can cradle just fine both hands with that. The other has a huge pocket and i always drop the ball switch handed....should i change my other one to have the V?

[laxattack]

this is power v... its basically stxs term for there stock pocket, like the warrior powell pocket... but its also a term used for any v shaped shooting string

[unta8]

they are terrible!

[joeyp2003]

yeh its bc thats like how stx does their factory strung sticks they dont leave any diamonds between the shooters...personally i dont like that some people do...not me though

[PtownMiddie2]

lol double v aka a diamond is good for hold

[mx255]

personally i cannot play with these and hete em. what head is that?

[jazzjon9]

i like u's they hold and throw accurately. v's throw off my throw.

[unta8]

lol "throw off my throw"

[jazzjon9]

haha, i didn't even realize that's what i wrote. now it sounds wierd.

[SheepShank]

I orginallly used a v or u shaped shooting string, but then changed it over the weekend to a bunch of straight shooters. It has a really smooth shot and a decent pocket but a hella of a whip.

[LaxAttack2]

its just like a fancy name for just a normal v/u set up with some shooters across the top

[CHMiddie]

i go for 3 or 4 straight across. i dont fuss with all that v/u stuff

[dclayton28]

i use two straight with a v im not sure how i like it sometimes my throws are alittle of. do i just need to break in the pocket?

[LAXatt]

i use 1 stright double u with all the shooters right below or abouve the other
