Custom stringing on Lax Store

[centenniallax81]

Check it out Lax Store has thier first custom stringing tut up and its mine. So I am the first to be the owner of a new Dolomite shaft.


You should go see it, just go all the way to the bottom of the page.

[nhlaxman]

so you dont really need instuctions just alot of pictures because if thats what you need then i am going to do it

[centenniallax81]

so you dont really need instuctions just alot of pictures because if thats what you need then i am going to do it



if your interseted just contact them and they'll send you the info you need.

[nhlaxman]

i went on there site but i could not find there email adrress anywhere do you have it by any chance

[pshwarriorlax17]

I didn't really think this was worth a new thread so I have a question for you when you string a pita do you usually string the outer nylons when the leather is tight or loose because my pita's of late just haven't been the same as they used to be and I forgot what I used to do.

when i do the outers i have the leathers a little loose but not a whole lot. or you could try and compensate for this by stringing the inside nylon tighter

[nhlaxman]

ok thank you very much and you should post a review when you get your dolomite

[centenniallax81]

yea i will for sure. i just hope thats its as good as warrior makes it sound.

[pshwarriorlax17]

Yeah thanks for the response!

[gigo567]

I just submitted my 6D tutorial. It finally uploaded to the site, I hope it gets approvved.

And your tutorial is really nice, good job.

[AttackMan17]

Not a bad pita tutorial.
Although, its really a pictorial.


(Hopefully my Torpedo pocket tutorial will be up soon.)

[lacrosse19]

did you guys just like email chris about it first...or did you already send a tutorial? hopefully my dyes make it on there...

[AttackMan17]

hopefully my dyes make it on there...

Of course they will.
Ive seen like 2 dyes better than yours...and those were done by pros.

I just emailed him and said i would do a tut, and he gave me the torpedo pocket...

[lacrosse19]

not bad, and...wait...im not a pro?


DAMN YOUS!

[CHSLax66]

im gonna do a camo dye on my guardian, hope that makes the grade for that k-18

[MainLax28]

I just sent mine in, but it is alot different then that one. It was like 20 pages on Word with pictures mixed with text, like most tutorials are. Hopefully I didn't waste time doing something I didn't do right.

[lax1191]

i have a queston for you or anyone who has sent in a tutorial. How would you be able to make it so you can click on pictures and they get bigger? Is it possible to do it on Word?

[centenniallax81]

I just sent mine in, but it is alot different then that one. It was like 20 pages on Word with pictures mixed with text, like most tutorials are. Hopefully I didn't waste time doing something I didn't do right.



did you just do it with out ever contacting Chris??????

if you did then you did it wrong he only wanted pics with a brief description of it because he said a picture is worth a thousand words

[centenniallax81]

I just submitted my 6D tutorial. It finally uploaded to the site, I hope it gets approvved.

And your tutorial is really nice, good job.


thanks a lot, that means a lot to me coming from others in the lax world.

[b-boy_laxman]

im soo bimmed i was going to submit a 6d tut bbuuuuttttt my brother being the smart kid he is leaves the charger for my digital camera in new brunswick :hot: :hot: :hot: and the people who we forgot it with havnt sent it yet. sssoo now all the things i know how to do ( mesh, 6d, corner poket are already done or going to be done up) :guns: :guns: :guns: my bro right here :chair: :chair: :angry: :angry: and i really need a good shaft all i have is alloy and i play box and im really low on money.

[MainLax28]

did you just do it with out ever contacting Chris??????

if you did then you did it wrong he only wanted pics with a brief description of it because he said a picture is worth a thousand words
yeah, I definately talked to chris first. I got the guidelines, and it never really spefified on how detailed the instructions needed to be. I just figured it was for the contact part. We'll see tomorrow becasue that is when I should find out.

this is what chris put in a e-mail he sent to me


[I need your logo or avatar plus a link if you want. It should be pretty
self explanatory. You do NOT need to include step by step written
instructions, a photo is worth a thousand words. Just follow the
guidelines I sent in the word document regarding the copy.]


but hey if he takes it then more power to you cuz i really wanted to include text for the pics.

Yeah, this is what I got out of it. Not the other way around.

BTW, my message did not include that line in it anywhere. And it seems like it it a copy and paste thing.

[centenniallax81]

well i read through the attachment i got in a e-mail from chris and i was unclear about having text with the pics and that was what he sent me back about having text.......

so who knows maybe he will take it.....

[lax1191]

I just e-mailed him and he said...

"I don't need step by step instructions, the photos are more than enough to explain a tutorial."

[pshwarriorlax17]

I E mailed him around 5 about doing a micro mesh tutorial.. does anyone know how long it will take for him to get back to me?

[centenniallax81]

sometimes its a few hours but he will definatly get back to you by the next day

[pshwarriorlax17]

Oh ok Thanks!

[cali feeder]

He should get back to you within 24 hours, hes a pretty on-time type of guy.

But no guarantees.

[lacrosse19]

sweet, he just sent me a email about it. i'm gonna dye another one like the eclipse i just dyed

[cali feeder]

6 Diamond tutorial is up, congrats to who ever it was that submitted it.

[Orange]

We've talked in email a few times. He wants me to do the "Giant Mesh Tutorial."

[cali feeder]

Nice. Send it in, I actually strung my duece like that. I never lose the ball lol.

[gigo567]

6 Diamond tutorial is up, congrats to who ever it was that submitted it.
Sweet my 6D tutorial got excepted. Thats awesome.

[gigo567]

Ahh man, my tutorial got shortened... The photos look bad now.

[MainLax28]

well i read through the attachment i got in a e-mail from chris and i was unclear about having text with the pics and that was what he sent me back about having text.......

so who knows maybe he will take it.....
Well, he said the text was fine, but a few of my pics were too blurry, so I'll have to fix that.

[_Torque_]

You got a dylomite for making that? Sign me up!

[cali feeder]

Congrats Gigo!

[laxwarrior34]

can someone get me a link because i cant find where the custom stringing guidelines are, just the dying tutorials

[Irishlax22]

I dont think they are taking custom stringing ones now. I think they want dye tutorials now.

[Matt Larkin]

I just did a fade dye for it, i hope it gets in.

[Irishlax22]

This guy hasnt answered back my emails.

[sidewinder19]

i sent in a 2 colour speckle,a 7d high pocket, and a 2 colour splatter speckle and fade.

hope he likes at least one. i need a new shaft or stick

[laxkid891]

WOOO chris just informed me that my tutorial was great and to upload it to the site!!!! so i should be getting a free dolomite too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :naughty:

[laxwarrior34]

i sent him an email asking what tuturials were still avalible and he hasnt replied

[Irishlax22]

i sent him an email asking what tuturials were still avalible and he hasnt replied
he hasnt replied to me or my friend either.

[MainLax28]

he hasnt replied to me or my friend either.
He hasn't replied to my last message at 11:00. Chances are, he hasn't checked his e-mail since then. Just give him a couple of hours

[lax1191]

It seems strange cuz yesterday he was returning e-mails within the next hour or two.

[AttackMan17]

I havent gotten any responses to emails i sent 2 days ago.

[Cburylax]

Perhaps they're a little busy with their new website launch. He probably got hundreds of emails...be a little patient and I'm sure he'll get back to you.

[cali feeder]

Yea, Cburylax is right, they've probably got a looooooot of tutorials comin in. Who doesn't want free stuff?

[EHSLAX12]

my 12D is gettin looked over.

[gigo567]

I really want to see who else is going to have a tutorial.

So far only centenniallax81 and I have had our tutorials uploaded onto the site.

I am wondering who is next to have there tutorial accepted and put on the site.

[laxkid891]

im hoping im the next.....he said my tut was great....and he gave me a username and password to upload it onto the site but the username and password is invalid...im waiting for a reply from chris about that

[AttackMan17]

Centenniallax81.
I think You exceeded the 30 pic limit, and a bunch of your pics are cut off.

[laxkid891]

still no answer for me

[centenniallax81]

Centenniallax81.
I think You exceeded the 30 pic limit, and a bunch of your pics are cut off.


yea i went over and he said it was okay because it was very detailed so you could understand and i went back today and a lot of the pics are missing


but yea i made sure it was okay with chris first and he said he would work it out for.

chris is a really nice guy, i'm probobly only going to get stuff off laxstore now because of this.

[gigo567]

Yeah that happened to me. He read this thread and e-mailed me about it (which was very cool) and I e-mailed him the missing pics.

I liked how nice he was about it. This makes me really respect Laxstores service.

[centenniallax81]

I liked how nice he was about it. This makes me really respect Laxstores service.


yea i totally agree with you.... cuz i mean ive never really had bad service fro other lax retailers but this really makes me want to stick with lax store now. i mean they might not have the greatest selection but you cant beat thier prices. but im sure if you talked to chris im sure he would cut you a deal if you really needed something

[gigo567]

Chris e-mailed me back and there was a bug.

Sam,

I got them up. There was a bug on the page that I just fixed, the
photos
were actually already there.

So the photos that disappeared in centenniallax81's tutorial and also mine are back up.

[AttackMan17]

None of my e-mails are getting responses.

[sidewinder19]

i sent in three tuts/pictorials and i didnt even get a response!

[Lax101]

...I guess getting a free $125 shaft isn't good enough for you guys? It has to be lickity split and involve immediate fame too...

Calm down. As MANY posters have already said, LaxStore is freakin busy as hell. I've talked to them, and their email addy's are stuffed right now. You know, posting an advertising for a free shaft to a 17,000 user forum, PLUS LaxStore's regular customers isn't the easiest thing to handle. And it's only one person handling all of this. Give him a break. You'll get your free shafts. Isn't that enough?

yea i agree with what lax101 said..... i mean i think it was a bad idea to have even given out his email so you guys could try and win a shaft because now i feel bad for him and i mean he is doing his best to handle everything thats coming his way and so far he has done a great job so just cut him some slack and he will get to you pretty soon i imagine

[Irishlax22]

they have all the tutorials they need. this is on there site now.

[EHSLAX12]

[Irishlax22]

Has any one whose been contacted had a problem uploading there tutorial. I dont know maybe its my computer but do you have to resize the pictures or something like that?

[EHSLAX12]

theyre not accepting anymore tutorials. the laxstore.com homepage has something about it.

[sidewinder19]

[Orange]

I'm having trouble uploading my pictures. It's took forever and got nowhere so I redid it and it's doing the same thing. I guess they are too big. How can I resize them/can I like mass-resize them all at once?

[gigo567]

I'm having trouble uploading my pictures. It's took forever and got nowhere so I redid it and it's doing the same thing. I guess they are too big. How can I resize them/can I like mass-resize them all at once?
Hold down Control(ctrl) and click every image. Once done right-click the last image that is highlighted and hit resize. Resize it down to 640 by 480. They will all resize (may take a minute or two) and your done.

[destructivelax]

I'm having trouble uploading my pictures. It's took forever and got nowhere so I redid it and it's doing the same thing. I guess they are too big. How can I resize them/can I like mass-resize them all at once?
yup. there's this window's powertoy that can mass resize i forget what its called. go to windwos.com n then search for picture resizer

[EHSLAX12]

[AttackMan17]

[elementsk8r070]

[gigo567]

[Irishlax22]

I uploaded my new 6D tutorial. Hope they like it.

[gigo567]

I deleted it off an old sight and sent it to Laxstore (didn;t completely read the rules) and someone e-mailed Chris about it.

Yeah, he said I could re-submit it.
(if that is targeted to me)

[sidewinder19]

i dont think he liked any of mine.........hmmmmph :sad:

[cali feeder]

New Tutorial is up, its a corner pocket.

[Irishlax22]

yea thats mine. I just realized a typo. Its a evolution not a revolution.

[MDlaxin69]

i e-mailed him about custom dyeing tutorials, (which gets you a k-18 complete stick btw...) and he said no more tutorials were needed, which seemed odd, cause i dont see any custom dyeing tutorials up there.

[Irishlax22]

It takes time to get everything in order. He has to go through all of them. then contact the people. It can take a week or two

[mrmccool]

so should I do a dye tutorial or what? That would suck to have his job of sorting emails. I'd get a headache looking at blurry pictures of strings up close.

[gigo567]

Chris just made a tutorial: http://www.laxstore.com/stringing-details.asp?id=29

And I re-submitted my 6D tutorial for the 3rd time (Chris told me I could) I hope this one gets accepted.

My first one was on another site so it got removed.

My second tutorial I used a Arrow, which is different than other heads.

And my third should hopefully get accepted.

[socalax]

so should I do a dye tutorial or what? That would suck to have his job of sorting emails. I'd get a headache looking at blurry pictures of strings up close.
It probably does suck to have to sort through all those emails with the blurry pictures. Why even submit a tutorial with blurry pictures?? It's just a waist of time and does no one any good. Doesn't make sense to me... :thumbsdow

[EHSLAX12]

its not really that, but i hate it that u have to redo it to his liking...i showed it to my friends and they said it was easy to follow and the pics were good. i still gotta redo my pics again but ill get it down eventually.

[socalax]

its not really that, but i hate it that u have to redo it to his liking...i showed it to my friends and they said it was easy to follow and the pics were good. i still gotta redo my pics again but ill get it down eventually.
Obviously it has to be to his liking, he probably wants them to be professional looking, with no blurry pics because it makes the site look professional. He's also the one giving away free products.

[kingdawgell]

its not really that, but i hate it that u have to redo it to his liking...i showed it to my friends and they said it was easy to follow and the pics were good. i still gotta redo my pics again but ill get it down eventually.
yeah, God forbid that you have to make a tutorial that pleases the person who is in charge of putting up tutorials.

ps: if he uploads your tutorial, your gettin a free shaft, so i think you can maybe tweak your tutorial a wee bit.

edit: socalax beat me to the cheese. cheers mate.

[EHSLAX12]

good point, but im on my 5th go on stringin up my head. guess im just overly frustrated.

[lVlike]

I thought you couldn't make a tutorial on just a topstring, I would have done a tutorial on the trianlge topstring if I knew I could.

[lax1191]

I don't think you can but Chris (who's the owner or something special like that) made it. So noones gonna tell him he can't.

[gigo567]

Mine got accepted. Third try and it did.

[elementsk8r070]

Every tutorial was made by someone on here except for the topstring one right?

[gigo567]

Who did the corner pocket and pita?

So far I know that AM did the torpedo, gigo did the 6d and orange did the 10D
Irishlax22 did the Corner Pocket and the Pita was done by centenniallax81

[centenniallax81]

Irishlax22 did the Corner Pocket and the Pita was done by centenniallax81


yea the pita's mine......
hope every one likes it....... i know that im no kryptic but i hope that you like it and that its pretty good

and from what i can tell all the one that have been accepted so far look great!!!!


congrats to all the winners

[pshwarriorlax17]

I wanted to do a Micro mesh tutorial and I sent him pictures of it because he asked for it but then he never E mailed me back

[laxn]

I dont like the corner pocket tut they put the xlace through every diamond in the mesh and didnt use the ball technique

[gigo567]

I dont like the corner pocket tut they put the xlace through every diamond in the mesh and didnt use the ball technique
Tell that to Irishlax22, he made it. And I have never used the ball technique for the corner pocket. I string it like Irishlax22 does or use a spool...

But then again it is your opinion.

[MainLax28]

I am finishing an R-basic tutorial right now for it. BTW I never use the ball/knife trick on any of my heads.

[Irishlax22]

I dont like the corner pocket tut they put the xlace through every diamond in the mesh and didnt use the ball technique
I never used a ball in it before and i ve never heard any one use a ball before. I will check it out next time i string a corner pocket. As for the the cross lace thru every hole. There are 20 different ways to do a corner pocket, But i like to do it this way. Look at my tut and warriors tut. Tons of differences.

[Irishlax22]

Gigo is that your 6d tut up again?

[gigo567]

Gigo is that your 6d tut up again?
Yeah, this one is 100% done only for Laxstore and hasn't been on any other site.

[gigo567]

Congrats Buzz1991.

The R-Basic Tutorial is now on the site: http://www.laxstore.com/stringing-details.asp?id=32

[EHSLAX12]

thats awesome

[elementsk8r070]

Is there an easy way to resize 50+ pictures? The width of the pictures must be less than 800 but the dimensions of all of my pics are 1600 X 1200.

[gigo567]

Is there an easy way to resize 50+ pictures? The width of the pictures must be less than 800 but the dimensions of all of my pics are 1600 X 1200.
Search www.microsoft.com (must have windows) for the image resizer. Download it and it will all the resize feature in the menu that appears when right clicked. CTRL click each image you want resized and right click the last one and resize to 640 by 480. (all of the images must be highlighted.)

[EHSLAX12]

theres a free download, go to the second page of this thread, i posted it somewhere towards the middle...ill pm u with it. or u can get the tweaks from microsoft.

[cali feeder]

I just strung up my Answer with that R-Basic pocket...its pretty nice. Kinda whippy though, but I'll fiddle around with the shooters.

[centenniallax81]

isnt the r-pocket pretty much a corner pocket?????? atleast thats what it looks like to me

[MainLax28]

isnt the r-pocket pretty much a corner pocket?????? atleast thats what it looks like to me
essentially, it is a corner pocket with coils for more structure. I also feel that it gives a tad more hold if strung properly.

[Matt Larkin]

chris just sent me an email saying that they want my fade dye tut i sent to them on the site...im so excited.

[cali feeder]

Some of the new Team Sales software is up. Looks pretty sweet.

[Matt Larkin]

But congrats.

[lax1191]

That tut is really good Matt. I like how you actually took a picture of the boiling water. If that pic wasn't there I wouldn't have had any idea when the water would have been boiling!!! haha

[laxking77]

[elementsk8r070]

Hot damn, that pita tutorial looks damn familiar ... the numbers too..
Its even on the same head. haha

I've been getting lazy and I just started stringing a stick for my tutorial. (man it stunk to find out the guy asks me to do a pocket and then realizes he already has a tutorial coming for it so I need to do a different one)

I now own a mac and I'm not sure how I can resize my numerous pics at once using it. Anyone want to tell me how I can resize at least 30 pics quickly using a mac?

Not yet, they will me shipped to everyone mid-october.

(I can't wait to get my Dolomite)

[Orange]

I hope I get a silver one. I'd email Chris but I don't wanna seem picky when I'm getting a free shaft.

open the photos in iphoto, then go to the menu at the top. Share > Export

then select how big you want the pics

[EHSLAX12]

they said they would pick the color...btw, does anyone think that if you submitted multiple ones they give u multiple dolomites or just 1...my friend was curious. he wants new shafts and wants to string up if he can get 2 of them. i think hes nuts, but i could be wrong.

I think it is just one 1. Because they are giving you a $124 shaft for free.

[EHSLAX12]

i was right...that would be cool though if you did get a couple of free ones.

[Matt Larkin]

i just realized they never asked for my address, i guess i'll have to send chris an email with it.

[EHSLAX12]

gp, did anyone check out the new tut, its a great pocket. i use something like that in my blade.

[Irishlax22]

Yea that tut is pretty nice.

[centenniallax81]

it should, i mean you taught me everything i know about the pita, and the lengths are perfect for when you string it on a torque, you dont have to cuz off any extra.


sorry if you think i stole it from you or something, but you taught me everything i ever needed on how to string a pita. personaly i think you should take it as a compliment

[gigo567]

Who made the new tutorial (x-factor pocket)? Was it a TLF member?

Not sure. Looks like a great tutorial though, and I've got a spare Truth laying around, so maybe I'll try it.

Definately. But where the crosslace interlocks I would double interlock it for both sides.

You probably should have given him some type of credit in the message part of the tutorial than...

your right i probobly should have....... nothing i can do now though......

[Riot]

Uhh.. Yeah there is. You could email the guy at lax store and tell him what happened.

edit: And why would he take that as a compliment? You basically just ripped him off.

[CHSLax66]

idk, maybe he should take it as a compliment that he made the perfect pita and there is nothing that can be done to improve it...? just a thought.

I guess that's for Kryptic to decide. I personally would be mad about it.

[Irishlax22]

All tut's of the same pocket should be somewhat similar to each other because after all its the same pocket.

[Farny]

Yeah, should the person who taught you how to string a stick in the first place be bitter when you start stringing for money? Should that person be indebted to the other forever? It's all the same pocket, because Kryptic, after all, didn't create the Pita, unless it's some strange variation.

But, man, this looked messy. I'm sure it was a sort of free-for-all to get that free shaft. Ridiculous. I think that's a huge offering, a $100+ shaft for that, and that's no doubt why they got flooded with emails.

[lax1191]

I don't think centenniallax81 should feel sorry, and I don't think kryptic should feel cheated. First of all even if kryptic did try to submit a tutorial, it would have been ineligible because he already has it on here. And secondly by putting his tutorial on the forums, kryptic was encouraging others to string his pocket. I do agree that centenniallax81 should have put some kind of shout-out to kryptic, but he was probably so excited that Chris excepted his tutorial he wasn't total thinking about everything.

yea i did kind of get caught up in the moment, and yes i am sorry about what i did, but i mean kryptic taught me how to string a perfect pita, but with all do respect its not like that was the first pita i ever strung, it took me pratice to even string a decent pita, so i mean its not like i've ever met krypitc and he ran through every single step with me or something so it would be perfect the first time around. i went through some work to do it too. and as for the numbers, they are perfect for the head that i strung the pita in, so theres another thing that i owe to kryptic but i mean he kind of did string a perfect pita and theres not much to change about it.

and agian im sorry to all of you thought i stole or plagerized(sp), especially kryptic.
and thanks to everyone who had my back on this.

but again i am truly sorry

[Irishlax22]

centenniallax81 you shouldn't be sorry. YOU did a nice tutorial.

[centenniallax81]

centenniallax81 you shouldn't be sorry. YOU did a nice tutorial.


thanks that means a lot to me coming from another person on TLF.

[lax1191]

centenniallax81 you shouldn't be sorry. YOU did a nice tutorial.

Absolutely. centenniallax81 made the tutorial, and like he said it took his own hard work to even be able to make the pita pocket as good as he can make it. I think this discussion about giving credit and who deserves this and who deserves that is over.

[centenniallax81]

any one notice that there is a new compition already???

its for a proton power!!!!!

[CHSLax66]

yeah thats been up for a while now, im thinkin about entering it

[Irishlax22]

Theres no info on the contest. It just says coming soon.

[centenniallax81]

yea i noticed that too...... but im sure we'll find out really soon though

[EHSLAX12]

the contest isnt supposed to be for awhile. chris told me that the site builders are gonna be working with the team sales stuff so thats the focus for awhile. im not getting to post my 5d tutorial till friday because of it.

[gigo567]

And Laxkid891's tutorial is up: http://www.laxstore.com/stringing-details.asp?id=28

Congrats.

It has been up for awhile now, but it was never shown on the home page.

[laxkid891]

SWEET! finally it got up there....they cut my typing short......ah well 'tis all GOOOD!!!!!!!! :naughty:

[AttackMan17]

Finally.

It took like forever. :guns:

[Irishlax22]

Its pretty nice. Good job.

[EHSLAX12]

those pics are so grainy. nice tut but the pics arent too good.

[laxkid891]

oh dang... i didnt realize about the pics...they must of tried to enlarge them

[Matt Larkin]

chris said they'll probably ship my k18 out this week because it come out tomorrow.

[Orange]

Which do you get?
A. K18 head only
B. K18 and 7050 Cs
C. K18 and Ti CS

[AttackMan17]

Which do you get?
A. K18 head only
B. K18 and 7050 Cs
C. K18 and Ti CS

I too wonder that...

[Irishlax22]

If i remember correctly is was a complete K18 stick. Probably not the Ti.

[Matt Larkin]

yea i dont think its the ti but i know its a complete

[centenniallax81]

yea i dont think its a TI from my understanding of the contest but it is most definatly a complete stick though. anyways chris wouldnt leave you hanging like that and make you pay for a CS if you really want the head.

[AttackMan17]

Makes sense.

The 7050 isnt a bad shaft though.

[pshwarriorlax17]

Hey I was wondering when the Pita contest starts. Also if I provide like the head strung before with a pita by me, would that be enough evidence, or would I have to string it all over again?

[EHSLAX12]

i think theyll take a prestrung head, i dont think theyll be crazy enough to have you string again to show evidence.

[Matt Larkin]

i dont think anyone will be getting free stuff from laxstore for like a month.i was on the tele w/chris and he said they have the k18 complete i stock but they cant give it to me, they have to wait a couple weeks for stx to send them the "promotional sticks"

sucks

Yeah, he said that to me in the e-mail about my Dolomite. But I am fine with it, I am getting a free shaft.

[Irishlax22]

It doesnt bother me. A free shaft is a free shaft.

[lax1191]

when did you get that e-mail gigo567? Chris hasn't gotten back to me and I sent him an e-mail almost a week ago.

[gigo567]

when did you get that e-mail gigo567? Chris hasn't gotten back to me and I sent him an e-mail almost a week ago.
I got the email 2 days ago.

I emailed him on the 30th he emailed me back on the 2nd.

[AttackMan17]

Im not getting any e-mails or responses...

[EHSLAX12]

im still waitin for an email about my tut, hasnt responded in a week. he said on his last email they are still updatiung the site and focusing on the team sales so hed be too busy to respond most of the time.

[shiftylax]

Guys, maybe you should cool out abotu the emails. I'm sure the place has mroe to deal with than your tutorials considering it just launched 2 brand new sites and is cataloging the new gear and placing orders.

[centenniallax81]

yea i havent gotten an e-mail from chris in like 3 weeks but i dont really care about how long it takes. i know that im still getting a free shaft.

[EHSLAX12]

ya, i agree with that. itll probably be november when the communication will pickup again. theyre redoin the site a bit and still working on inventory and the team sales. im not gonna pry at it anymore for a week or 2.

[Matt Larkin]

Hey chris emailed me saying that they shipped out my free stick yesterday with ups ground...im so pysched to get it... i'll post pics if you guys want me to

[centenniallax81]

yea i got a e-mail from him like wednesday or thursday last week and he said he would be trying to get them out within the week.

im still anxious to see what color im gonna get. i hope its the blue (school color) but any of the colors will be great, i mean its a free shaft.

[CHSLax66]

man centenniallax im lookin forward to seein that dolomite. i wonder how its gonna hold up this season.

[centenniallax81]

yea im looking forward to that too.

[Orange]

Bah I forgot to reply to his email a few days ago with my address so mine will be a little delayed.

[Irishlax22]

I'd go with the k18.

[EHSLAX12]

what is the k18 on, a crank 10 degree or a crank ti

[Orange]

CS10 I'm pretty sure.

[MainLax28]

Definately go with the Crankshaft

[Matt Larkin]

yeah it came on a normal cs 10 not a ti

[EHSLAX12]

so mine finally got put up, im happy now...k18 should come soon.
