I see a few coils/twists that have a little 'funk' to them. But, it looks pretty good.


EDIT: oh...It's supposed to be like that. Alternating twists and coils?

it looks like it would weigh a ton!, but I love the crisp-ness of the knots and the overall symmetry.

haha yeah its supposed to be like that

[AttackMan17]

Do you have a few spots where you had to melt 2 strings together/tie one off and start a new one?

Also, I love how that motive has been strung like 112149074353232345343 times, and still has like one scratch on it.

oh yeah, i forgot to mention that AM17... i had nothing left on the spool, so all the crosslace involved in this pocket was originally from another pocket. Some of the lengths werent long enough, so i combined them (i guess i kindof welded them?)

I have to do that alot.
I have no crosslace left on spools...But probably have 2-300 yards of random lengths in a box in my explosion of a room.

[eaweb824]

haha... sounds like my room

Looks nice. I like the dyed leathers

[faceofflax15]

Thats what hell of a pocket MD. Youre best by far, make a name and start stringing more of them.
I find it funny how you always use a topstring for the leathers so if they break you aren't screwed, but on this one, your best, you didn't.

Your pocket looks good, if your looking at it in a cosmetic way. I dont know why anyone would ever want to play with a head strung like that. It looks terribly inconsistent, and looks as if it would loose all form after a few passes with some decent speed.

oh dont worry i completely agree. I would never play with any of the wild customs i string. They are strictly for show/backyard stuff.

[RazzMaChazz]

i dig that custom man.

[laxstardude]

hey wat type of mesh is that?
soft mesh?

[gigo567]

Its not mesh, its a custom. You string nylon on some leathers that are attached to the head. It takes some skill to string but are cool, fun, and can be strung to the players own liking.

[WanderingLaxer]

Nice-looks pretty good. Looks like it must have taken a while too.
