A pocket I spend DAYS on, tell me what you think of the outcome

[laxman37]

I spent a couple days stringing this, and have decided to share it with you. Hope you enjoy! The channel is straight, some of the pictures might not tell you so. Also, tell me which you like more quality-wise, the pictures on the wood, or the one on the carpet.

Later I will update with images I have played around with in gimp, they look really cool.

It throws well, has amazing hold, and well, need I comment on looks?

I had some fun with gimp this morning, and did some basic effects to some photos. Had to do links because you can only put so many pictures into one post. Hope you like 'em!

I had to use filesocket for this one, image socket didn't support the file type.

Holy crap, all those coils in that channel.... that's amazing! It looks so clean and symmetrical from what I can tell, have you gotten a chance to throw with it? And how much crosslace did it take? It looks VERY nice, goodjob!

[dragonlax]

looks really good. looks like it would have really good hold. hows it throw. also what head is that a blaze?

[cwb_lax]

holy crap is right! that is amazing. i have no clue how you did that. it musta taken forever. amazingly good job.

[laxman37]

looks really good. looks like it would have really good hold. hows it throw. also what head is that a blaze?
:bawling:......yes, I wasted that good of a pocket on a blaze. *Sniff*


Anotherlaxfan, it took too much, I tell you, too much crosslace.

[StreetStunt06]

any face views?

[Irishlax22]

Wow i can see why it took you days to do that. Nice job man. :thumbsup:

[itsthatkid]

Well...Thats....sexy.

[laxman37]

any face views?
I've had enough of picture taking for today, I will try to get some up tommorow however.

[hockey&lax]

wow..simply amazing. i love it

[DeftGoalie28]

Thats is one beautiful pocket

P.S.- i like the ones on the deck

[justlaxin484]

words cant describe the amazingness of that pocket...its like the most beautiful pocket i think ive ever seen in my life. :love: :worship: :yumyum: :love: :worship:

[laxman37]

Oh man, I was just thinking, what if me and MDLaxin met up, and strung a pocket together. That would be sweet!!!

[Mikehenry8742]

Sweet pocket!!!

[Lacrossebum03]

Thats freakin sick. I dont think ive seen a pocket look so good before besides kryptics pita.

[EndlesFimbulvet]

Looks amazing. However, it looks like your knots arent interlocked on the outside leathers.

[thebrettness]

Wow, that pockets insane

[laxman37]

Looks amazing. However, it looks like your knots arent interlocked on the outside leathers.
They aren't, I'm too lazy to interlock with coils. Besides, this way I could stick to the big word knot.

[pshwarriorlax17]

:jawdrop: That is simply amazing, one of the better ones I've seen on here. I wish I could string something like that...

[lax9]

that mustve tooken forever to string its perfect!! good job

[laxmax137]

That is godly. Awesome job. BTW can we get a face pic?

[laxman37]

That is godly. Awesome job. BTW can we get a face pic?
Yep, coming tommorow!

I love how lots of people are saying "I wish I could string like that", when I am only 12 years old:grin: Not to brag or anything...

[pshwarriorlax17]

I guess it doesn't really matter how old you are when you string. It's all natural ability when you think about it.

[laxman37]

True, but you can improve on natural ability, correct?

[Meade Lacrosse]

really clean. Well done.

[Farny]

Dude, that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen.

[SBAatk22]

thats really good! i like the channel and the coils on the outside. look verry nice, good job!

[CustomX157]

Absolutely Beautiful.

[the next 'one']

Channel=Amazing. i like the wood pictures better by the way.

[ariakon]

:jawdrop: how the hell did you make that! I would never have the patience to do that. that is absolutely(sp) amazing!

[LilLaxBro]

amazing pocket youve got mad skills that even Chuck Norris, Yes Chuck Norris him self can not match. but why did you reuse old leathers????

[swish7209]

props man i could never have that much patience i would just quit after the channel

[MoOnCoW]

have you ever done that before? or did you just keep redoing things over and over? anyways, thats awesome, what do you call it?

[AttackMan17]

That looks quite cool.
It looks worth the days spent on it.

[laxhockey1563]

:jawdrop: That's all

[pshwarriorlax17]

You know your pocket is good when you have some of the best TLF stringiers saying its good.

[Wubbie]

The channel looks AMAZING, though I could do with out the coils... Too time consuming, and I'm not good at twists nor coils =P...

Freakin' insane... I'd buy one(after seeing how it threw)... Great job.

[James]

That looks cool, definately new. Nice job

[benjamming18]

is it heavy? It looks sweet. the wood is better than the carpet

[Marty Dawg]

it looks amazing but i dont think anyone can top kryptics pita! that thing is orgasmic

[cali feeder]

Thats a pretty stick. The channell looks SLIGHTLY off to the left, looking down the stick. Maybe its just me. But good job!

[laxman37]

amazing pocket youve got mad skills that even Chuck Norris, Yes Chuck Norris him self can not match. but why did you reuse old leathers????
I reused old leathers because I didn't have any others. Now that I think about it, I should have used the old ones on the outside.

have you ever done that before? or did you just keep redoing things over and over? anyways, thats awesome, what do you call it?
This was my first time doing that pocket. I also need a good name for it, got any suggestions?

That made me get the fuzzy feeling inside.

Well, I would sell one, but it would be kind of expensive because of all the time, work and crosslace involved. Still, I'm always looking to make a buck.

It is kind of heavy, but I think that the holding ability outweighs (pun, get it) the weight.

I agree about kryptics pita!

Thanks for all the compliments guys, I really appreciate them. Anything you guys would do different, or maybe better?

[MJlax26]

looks awesome man good work

[MDlaxin69]

my god... i love it. Sick pocket man.

[Mustangs21]

My god! Very very very nice job! You kept it very clean and symetrical. Lets just hope that E3 doesn't break! :grin:

[WoodDuck14]

E3? comeon dude, I think everybody here knows thats not an E3, its one of those edge knock offs if I'm not mistaken, and I may be, but i defenatly know its not an E3. (i'm not flaming i'm being as nice as possible)

[RIT37FO]

that thing is sweet

[cwb_lax]

E3? comeon dude, I think everybody here knows thats not an E3, its one of those edge knock offs if I'm not mistaken, and I may be, but i defenatly know its not an E3. (i'm not flaming i'm being as nice as possible)

actually im pretty sure its a brine blaze.

[WoodDuck14]

actually im pretty sure its a brine blaze.

aka edge knock off. so thank you for proving me right. dosent even matter cuz my point was that it looks nothing like an E3. did u read my post?

[cwb_lax]

aka edge knock off. so thank you for proving me right. dosent even matter cuz my point was that it looks nothing like an E3. did u read my post?

yes i did. but it has really nothing to do with the edge. its a beginners stick they sell at dick's. i have one too. it was my first stick.

but...this has nothing to do with that. it is not an E3 and you are correct on that one.

EDIT: laxman...that sucks you didn't do a topstring so you could transplant it to a different head :DOH: .

[laxman37]

It is a blaze. It was the only unstrung head I had around when I got the idea, so I strung it on the blaze. Shame.

First post edited with face shots.

[WoodDuck14]

well seeing as it is made by brine, and seeing brines obbsession with their masterpiece, the edge, and also that it looks alot like the edge, i surmised that it was a begginers version of the edge at an affordable price tag.

[laxman37]

It would actually make a sweet head if you pinch it. The offset is not that extreme, so you gain some of the pros from both offset and non-offset heads. It is very stiff, and if you give it a sweet pinch, it would be awesome.
