Looks good. Can you get a face pic, though. From the looks of it you just need to break it in and it'll be perfect.

i dont think i stretched the mesh enough before stringing it, so whenever i pound it, it kinda of recoils. so i think in a lil bit im gonna restring it with some jima hard that is thouroghly (sp?) stretched

Thats pretty good for a first time. you may want to tighten up your sidewalls a wee bit.

tighten up those sidewalls, then pound that pocket.

Jimalax hard mesh will be much harder to stretch then that warrior mesh. Warrior mesh is notorious for bagging out. Try to wet the pocket and ball and butterknife it.. You will see a difference.

Overall its not a bad job, it may be the pictures, but it looks like the right sidewall is tighter then the left pulling your pocket to the right.
