There are no kits. Either you have Rocket Pocket string it for you. Or you study the pics and teach yourself to string it. Those are your options. As far as thier performance. I like them quite a bit. They have decend hold, a fast shot, and are usually more acurate that some other type pockets. But what works for me may not work for you. If that makes sense.

Mine came in the mail today. Let me tell you they are a whole lot better factory strung then if someone strung it for you or you learned. It just overall feels more "crisp" (to me)

Excactly!!^^^ I would take my personally strung RP over a factory strung RP any day of the week. Not to say that the factory ones are bad. Because they're not. But I can string them to suit me better than they can.

wont be able to post for a couple days. But today I was at the wall for about 3 hours breaking it in. Still not fully broken in, but the release is amazing, and I can deffinetly feel how much more velocity this gives me.

I have, in the past used RP's at both middie and defense. I'm not sure why you guys think it gives you a faster shot, but it doesn't. It may FEEL faster because of the smoothness of the release, but I have tired RP vs Mesh, and mesh and RP's are virtually identical. The real value of a RP comes from the hold (nothing else compares) and the accuracy (the ball really does release right down the channel). I have stopped using them as a pole, as it tends to make my Kpro top heavy. However, as a middie or attackmen, it is a fabulous pocket, and I wouldn't want to play with anything else at those positions. Feel free to PM me if oyu have any questions about RP performance.

To end this mystery, when I go to camp next week I will let the shot clock speak the truth. Ill let you know. But I know it will deffinetly be faster

I have tested on a shot clock. I wasn't just guessing.

i just thought of a new idea ...im thinking if i sold both my bn finalizer and my finalizer which...which is dyed i could get around 105 and at rock-itpocket.com you canget a brandnew finalizer with rockit pockit for 105 so instead of having a used finalizer with rockit pockit i can have a new one for pretty much the same price :-)

You can try to sell your used Finalizer for $105, I'll just say good luck.
Yeah so no RP tutorials but you can find the kits or get materials at Jimalax. They'll be worth it if they suit you but you can only find that out if you try it.
