Goal Ex Pocket

[AttackMan17]

It seems that RP is coming out with a new mesh variation called the goal-ex pocket.

I searched
:thumbsup:
"Goalies are lacrosse players too and they might be even more in tune with their sticks than anyone else on the field. Trying to balance between a goalie stick that catches well while not throwing with too much whip was the difficulty in creating the Goal-Ex. The stick is a conglomeration of many different stringing styles as we tried to give our goalies here at CSU the best of both worlds. Former CSU goalie and Rock-it Pocket employee Alex Smith collaborated with us on getting this stick to his liking.

Built in, not broken in, the Goal-Ex is borne of the same concepts as the Rock-it Pockets before it. No, it’s not strung with leathers and nylons, but with hard mesh. Our goalie pocket creates a throwing channel down the middle of the head that allows for a consistent release and precision passing. The channel “rocks” the ball during cradling and mimics the tracking of the middle leathers in our original Rock-it Pocket.

With the mesh pulled tight in all directions, the ball is set squarely in the middle of the pocket, primed to throw outlet passes or overhand fakes. The channel also ensures that passes will never miss to the left or right of the target. The Goal-Ex remains true to one of the Rock-it Pocket’s original slogans: “Point and shoot.”

You should never feel this pocket throwing off the plastic as we have pulled the top section of the mesh extremely tight. Keeping the top tight is paramount in creating a consistent throw every time you make a pass.

Another plus of keeping the mesh tight along the plastic is cutting down on general wear and tear. Since there is not too much pressure being put on the sidewall strings, there will be much less fraying and shredding than you would normally see after making hundreds of saves in practice in games. The high-strength polyester we use all the way around the mesh is the same stuff we put in our Rock-it Pockets, so you know it will last.

We prefer the Goal-Ex to be strung with 12-diamond mesh rather than regular hard mesh. The larger diamonds make catching a little easier because the ball seems to stick in the pocket better. In arid climates, the large diamond mesh helps catching immensely. We don’t recommend soft mesh for goalies because it is nearly impossible to keep the integrity of the pocket.

For whatever reason, most likely the flared sidewalls, the Goal-Ex seems to fit almost perfectly in the Warrior Nemesis. This is the head we created the pocket in and will come ready to go right out of the package. Other heads may take some extra break-in time to build the channel just right.

We’ve found that this pocket will generally require only one adjustment as the mesh stretches out. With the12 diamond mesh, you simply bring the bottom string up a row or two in the mesh as you play with it. You will eventually get to a point where adjustments are no longer necessary and it throws with consistency and accuracy every time."

No pictures on the site yet but, it sounds like another pocket that stringers everywhere will try to duplicate. And it's about time rock-itpocket.com got a facelift. The site looks much better and more organzied now.

[SachemsGoalie40]

i wonder what the pocket looks like, is it just a 12d mesh pocket with some coils on the sides or something??

[Brandon303]

It does explain what the basics of the pocket will be in the description above. And considering it's a rock-it pocket, it's going to be hella nice.

[MainLax28]

and hella expensive

[SachemsGoalie40]

it was that they prefer to string it with 12d mesh, but who knows what they are stringing up, and yea its gunna be wicked expensive

[laxgoalieking]

ive been watching that page closley for pics,

[gfgoalie28]

i'd be surprised it was overly expensive. it's only mesh, unlike in a regular rocket pocket when you're paying for all that crosslace they have to use in a stick.

[MainLax28]

Crosslace really ins't that expensive, and they probably buy from the factories unlike us.

[goalieskcickay]

Methinks a no-rebound III is in the makes.

I highly doubt this pocket will be anything special, at least from the way they described it.

[moondog]

^^Yeah, I know tons of goalies who have done stuff like that to their pockets. It really doesn't sound like anything special. Probably overpriced gimmick just for the looks...

[Brandon303]

It's not like Rock-it Pocket can really gimmick around with mesh and crosslace. I figure it'll just be a nice, deep mesh pocket with a different kid of open sidewalls. And if you've ever used a Rock-it Pocket, you'll know they don't rely on looks alone to sell their products.

[OldGoalie]

It's $50 for the Goal-Ex pocket restring. Just click on the restringing section.

[dragonlax]

oh god 50 bucks on a basically a mesh pocket is insane

[James]

huh thats interesting I dont understand what it really is even afetr reading it twice I will see when there is pictures up

[atacklax]

To me, it just sounds like an overhyped, overrated, and overpriced mesh pocket.

[laxcanada]

yea im guessin u could just string one without 12d even like just with regular hard mesh

[OldGoalie]

Not sure I really get it either, as I simply bought a couple of pieces of 12D from jimalax, soaked and stretched them, strung my Eclipses with it and made sure the top mesh was tight on both. With the bottom not too loose, it forms a really nice, natural channel (with no V), throws beautifully with very little whip, and has great hold. What's the big secret?

[goalieskcickay]

^^^
Ditto, only with 10d.

And to answer your question, there is no secret. Only people who feel the need to empty their wallets to get a hyped and/or specialty product.

[laxcanada]

^^^^^^
I did that but with the stock mesh and it has no whip what so ever(sp?)

[laxgoalieking]

It's $50 for the Goal-Ex pocket restring. Just click on the restringing section.
no where on that site does it say, $50. it will most likely be no more then $30. and they perfer to use 12d because it offers the best,in their oppinions,catching,hold,and release.

[MClothier]

could this be it? i found this on the CSU lax site:

i figured since flip is the head coach and the owner of rock-itpocket, so this might be very similar to the goalie-ex pocket?

i saw that same pic the other day, i to am currious weather it is or not. if it is it looks just like a normal 6 string/open side all pocket.

im pretty sure its not since the goal-ex is pretty new and that picture is from the last season.

[laxgoalieking]

im pretty sure its not since the goal-ex is pretty new and that picture is from the last season.
yes but i believe they say that they've been working on it for some time now. it only makes sense that flip would have his csu goalies test it out.

[dragonlax]

you do have a good point there

[laxgoalieking]

ots wierd that all the csu goalies, even the ones in their training camp pics have warrior nemisis, and that flip perfers to use the nemisis for the goalie-x

[slinkyspine]

Yeah it would makes sense the CSU goalers use the same head and they have Flip.

[OldGoalie]

Do I get an apology now?

[chris818181]

I think this picture is acculty the Goal-X , notice the topwall pulled estremly tight and the 10D mesh.

http://www.csulacrosse.com/2005/pictures/2005-03-12_UCSB/pages/03-12-05_UCSB_95.htm#here

Also they have the coolest helmets I've ever seen.

Another pic, this one from the side:

[WildDeuces]

from the looks of alot of these pics, i would have to say that if this is the goal-x. it certainly isnt worth 50 bucks. i could probably string that. it really doesnt look all that difficult

[Fartman]

i have strung my goalie's nemesis exactly like that. the 12d in a nemesis makes a BEASTLY channel when you pound it in. i wish i could get pics of his sticks. i'm guessing its the same exact thing.

[paul8]

it looks like a pretty regular pocket to me. $50 seems very steep for a pocket that anyone could string. i think ill get a piece of 12 d to put in my other nemesis though

[MClothier]

yea 50 is way too much. i can easily string any head like that... i got pics to prove it too...! haha

[rjattack19]

i dont see any thing special in that....but then again im not a goalie...i think it would be awsome if they did a goalie stick with a custom rock-it-pocket...i dunno maby its just me

[AttackMan17]

The space commander is a goalie RP.

[James]

I dont think anybody at rock-it pocket has a soul because i would feel bad about robbing somebody of that much money just for a mesh pocket

[BioPro29]

Um, none of us have even seen it yet, so why are you all judging it?

[goalieskcickay]

Because 50 dollars for a mesh pocket is heinous, even if the pocket makes me into Tillman Johnson. That is why we are judging it.

[paul8]

i would pay 50 bucks if it made me play like tillman johnson

Flip Naumberg is retarted.

[laxgoalieking]

yet he is the head coach of a university team and the president of a company, and ur the kid that made a variation of a pocket on e-lacrosse. he sure is retarded

[AttackMan17]

That was not worth the wait at all.

[Teo]

Geezus... IT SAYS 35$ ON THE PAGE!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP. http://rock-itpocket.com/Store/Heads/Restring/anyhead.html Geezus Old Goalie, You post the link to prove its 50 and it clearly says 35 for 12 D or Hard mesh. Wow. niceeeeeeeee

Before you think you're so damn smart, genius, take a moment to think about it. Has it occurred to you that the price has changed since I posted my link (over two weeks ago)? When I linked to the site on Feb. 2, the price was $50. The folks at Rock-It must have read the feedback and decided no one would pay it and dropped the price.

I know you're new and all, but you should really put a little thought into things before you go attacking your elders. :thumbsup:

suck it up butter cup!

[Brandon303]

Personally, I'm pretty disappointed. Doesn't look special at all to me, and really isn't worth $35 smack-a-roos. For the first time, Rock-it Pocket has disappointed me.

[EndlesFimbulvet]

...

Wow. I am amazed at the awesomeness of the pocket I see before me.

It could kill Chuck Norris.
[/sarcasm]

[MClothier]

after all of the negative posts about the price- i am now offering to string the same thing for 25 that includes supplies excluding shipping. jesus, 35 for a pocket...*cough* rip-off *cough*

have u tryed the goalie-x?if so where?

[MClothier]

i have not tried it, but to be honest with you, after stringing sticks for 3 years now, i can safely say there isnt a whole lot one can do to string a special mesh pocket. maybe a trd custom, but in terms of reg hard mesh, 12d, 10d etc, there arent a lot of options. and most goalies on this forum will back me up, i can string a pretty mean goalie stick very similar to the description of the goal-ex. thats my justification.

[goalieskcickay]

And we know MClothier does a good job, for less cash than RP will. So why would you get the "Goal-Ex" pocket, when you could just as easily string it yourself? Or if you can't string for your life, find someone who can, and won't charge $35 for it.

[OutBurst]

I'm just peeing in my pants for another "custom" goalie pocket...

[paul8]

what kind of retard would pay 35 bucks for a hard mesh pocket. it doesnt even look cool

[MClothier]

like everyone else said, i would either learn to string your own or find someone who can for a lot less than 35...

[OldGoalie]

have u tryed the goalie-x?if so where?

What are you on commission or something? Calm down, dude. Maybe now you're seeing why the price was lowered..."Suck it up, butercup!" LOL

[GoalieMan14]

I had one of the very first Goal Ex pockets ever made. That's no joke. I had some connections with the guy who came up with the idea for a goal ex pocket. It is extremely nice and I really love it. !!! :thumbsup:

What makes it so different from a regular hard, or 12d pocket?

[paul8]

yes, do tell what makes this pocket worth 35 bucks

[GoalieMan14]

yes, do tell what makes this pocket worth 35 bucks
There is a very nice channel in the pocket for more precision on the clears. I love the clears in this bad boy. I had to adjust the shooters just a bit, but otherwise it is a very good pocket when strung on a nemesis. for some reason the pocket in the nemesis is the best. IDK Y. It is definitely worth it.

[PMRaiderLax6]

So.... Who's impressed?? Anyone? No? You got us hyped up for nothing Flip.

[sirfartsalot295]

You can't even spell retarded.

yea I was expecting another version of the space camander or at least some thing traditional.

[OULax6]

was me making a variation of a pocket retarded? is that supposed to make me angry, or make me look stupid? im not so sure what you're getting at here.

I made that comment because i dont think that Flip should a) hype up a pocket as "revolutionary" when it is simply a mesh pocket, and b) charge $35 for simple 10/12 mesh.

no i merley stating that shouldnt be the one judgeing flip or calling him retarDed when hes been string sticks longer then you've been alive.

[TheNino57]

As I understand it, Alex Smith, former CSU Goalie, developed (or at least was the primary tester) the Goal-Ex pocket. Also, if Naumburg charges that much for a pocket and people pay for it (and you know they will), I say good for Flip.

[OULax6]

yeah sure, theres your oppinion then theres bashing and u bashed flip and his company.

[OULax6]

yeah sure, theres your oppinion then theres bashing and u bashed flip and his company.

I disagree with your statement.

Just because i have a (severely) negative opinion towards the goal-ex pocket, does not mean that i was necessarilly bashing the entire RP company.

I just happen to think that what Flip did with this particular pocket was very very very stupid. THAT is the root of my comment.

Also, I know you are very gung-ho about RP's (judging by the looks of your avatar), but just because i have a negative opinion towards something, it does not give you lisence to play the mother hen role for Flip.

Ive got nothing against you, or towards RP's, so please dont misconstrue my comments.

[wiggidawack]

OULax, hes sweet because his name is Flip...end of discussion

[hulllaxplayer]

It does explain what the basics of the pocket will be in the description above. And considering it's a rock-it pocket, it's going to be hella nice.

and hella heavy

[nofear45465]

how about hella the same weight as mesh. haha.

[DeucesWild]

yeah the pictures before cant be it....for one, the stick that the csu goalie has is 10d

you would have seen that it comes in different styles if you had read.

Has anyone used this pocket from rock-it pocket? how does it throw/catch and how are the rebounds? Thanks

ive strung one its easy, just one diamond per hole with 12 D except in a gait debeer head its one diamond every 2holes

Would you say its worth 85? cause a nemesis strung form the factory is around 100 so thats a pretty sweet deal for a nicley strung stick. but if the pockets not that hot then i guess i will just buy a unstrung one.

[sirfartsalot295]

hey just use my tutorial its the same thing practically and i know how to do the bottom like they do and the shooters are just three across http://www.lacrosseforums.com/showthread.php?t=45019

[FitzGoalie]

i hvae one...it has a great channel and throws absolutely perfectly everytime. the only downside is that the pocket isn't that deep to begin wiht, and (although i guess this is true with all new mesh) it doesn't come broken in, so it'll give up a ton of rebounds t first, but as you use it more, it'll give up less and less, until it gives up practically none, throws perfectly, and has a bag. and, like the no rebound goalie pocket, the stringers have some uber-secret method of treating the mesh so that it channels correctly, so it's not quite the same as what everyone is claiming to string themselves. also, if you buy a new goalie head from RP, the goal-ex is free in it, so if you're planning on buying a new head anyway, and don't want to worry about the hassle of stringing, i;d say it's a good choice


*EDIT* also, it's closed sidewall, not interlocking, like someone above said

well its not really free cause a unstrung nemesis is not 85 unless its at the worst lax store, but its an amazing price for a head with a custom pocket.

and can I get some pics so i can decide? thanks for your help.

[laxgoalieking]

its not a custom pocket its mesh, string a closed sidewall pocket keep everything tigh to the plastic and your done.

[midwestgoalie71]

are the shooters on the goal ex rolled or weaved

[FitzGoalie]

are the shooters on the goal ex rolled or weaved
rolled, with the top one really tight

[SBAatk22]

i got to look at one last camp i went to and its a little more than a mesh pocket. it has some features you dont really find in a regular string job. its nice.

sry ri cant help much but my comp is being gay and t wont let me post but i have a sweet Maroon snake skin dyed Bionic for sale thats unstrung. ill sell it for 40 or add colored mesh with it for 50. Let me know what u want and up for trades. Shafts and heads!

Dude, where do I even start...Try the FS/FT Forum for starters. Then make your own thread about your Bionic. And lastly not many guys would need a non-goalie head in this forum.

[AttackMan17]

Does anyone who actually owns a goal-ex pocket have some decent pictures of it? Because i want to try one, but dont want to pay 50 dollars.

[nemiman18]

they should put up more pics on the rp site

[nemiman18]

how do u do the bottom sirfartsalot

[nemiman18]

could someone just post a whole lot of pics of top, sidewall, bottom

i just got a sheet of 12D in from jima so i need pics

[EHSLAX12]

is that a triangle topstring or did they just pull the mesh up and wrap it like the stock stringing on gait heads.

[kikkoman]

this seems like a kind of pocket 34 concept for goalies, with the mesh pulled in tight and a channel formed in the middle.

[Buzz1991]

http://www.rock-itpocket.com/Images/RIPPhotos/Convention06/usagoalie1.jpg
just search on google :dummy:

[EndlesFimbulvet]

Looks like triangle to me.

[AttackMan17]

I've figured out the topstring. I just need some sidewall pictures and I could string one.

[EHSLAX12]

i just did too. its a strange triangle. the sidewall is weird, cant tell if its normal or if its custom.

Alright folks.
The topstring is pretty easy.
If and when i can get some better description of the sidewall, then i can post what i come out with as a 'goal-ex'
Any help would be appreciated.

[nemiman18]

it looks like the sidewall is just regular besides you go under to over on the mesh if that makes sence

its a 12d pocket. nearly identical to every other 12d pocket that has ben posted. you can look at most of the 12d pockets on this forum and they look pretty similar. i think that RP is doing somthing else that we're not seeing, sort of like how the no rebound pocket mesh is stretched a certain way. i dont think that its any special way that they've strung it, because theres only so much you can do with goalie mesh. if anyone has one though and would like to share it, please do so.

looks like a regular top string to me. it doesnt really look triangular or anything

its actually very much a triangle topstring because of the triangles. I f it was normal then there would be no triangles

[paul8]

it could be the diamonds of the mesh pulled up really tight to the top string holes

[viking goalie]

it could be regular from this pic.

ill take pics of my pocket, its basically the same topstring.

Y'all...go to my thread that says "12d, nearly goal-ex" It has the correct goa-ex topstring (Or so i think...)...if you really want to know.

I've seen a real one...and I'm mildly sure i have mine correct...(Just a bit loose)

[paul8]

if it is so similar to what everyone else has, then why are people still asking about how to do it. i like your pocket AM17 but im still convinced that there is somthing more to it than we are seeing

[EHSLAX12]

i think i just figured it out, i notices how they thread the string and Attackman i can say that i think u and i are wrong. im gonna try what i think is correct and i think it is the real string. ill post it later with my pocket.

if it was perfect why did he only use it for one game then switch to his orange nemi with open 12d???

[kikkoman]

that has got to be one of the cleanest goalie pockets i've seen. someone seriously needs to get this pocket so we know first hand.

[nemiman18]

can someone who has the pocket please post pics of it close up because they are hard to see in action

[nemiman18]

i just noticed that if u look at the csu goalies stick it is a triangle top with a white toplace and the white makes it look just like the mesh witch makes it look like gait factory but its not

[lublax77]

it looks exactly like a regular mesh head

[kcgoalie39]

i cant remember why he changed... either his head broke or he was just so use to his old orange head.... imma contact flip and see if he can hook me up.

[nemiman18]

if you do plz post pics

[a_lax]

guardian - $110 lulax.com
money - $99 lulax.com
with factory stringing

[nemesis attack]
