FIRST i'd say get some new mesh EX white or black

SECOND doesnt' look bad for a first try

THIRD let the black sit longer it looks a little purple

That is pretty sick, even for a first dye. I really like how the background color chagnes from black to white, then the splatter changes from white to black. That string job needs some work though. Interlocking sidewalls are meant to be really tight so the mesh doesnt flop around, and pound that mesh more...I suggest switching to hard mesh also. The dye is great though!

Ya it did turn out a tad purple near the bottom. So I should get hard mesh? Where from?

Get mesh from www.jimalax.com but stay away from there white hard mesh for now, it is terrible. There colored mesh is good.

Besides the mesh i think thats one of the best first attempts i have seen. Definatly try to do more because you have a gift that not many of us are able to pocess, I will nit pick about the blue towards the bottom that seeped into the white where the glue was but...

great job

i really don't think you meant to do it but the lines at the top are pretty incredible

the dye leaked a bit under the glue, but not too bad...you gotta let the head sit for a long time in the black...i reccomend 2x as long as a regular color. it looks great for a first try.

wow you sure your a beginner

[RunnerBoyLance]

Yup first time, I know it leaked thru but I actually think it adds to it better. Also,is an AV8 a good stick to play with in a game?

[QueensUnoz]

av8 is not bad for a begginer.
but please restring that stick.
any stick is decent with good stringing.

[RunnerBoyLance]

whats wrong with my stringing? Just the mesh or what? Thanks

[L4X_M4ST3R]

Since you are using soft mesh i think you'd be better off using my tutorial which you already have all the strings so go w/ this TUT

thats a really good dye esspecially since its ur first
i kinda wish my first was that nice
ne ways the stringing has as others have said a little work needed but u can just keep working on that and youll get better as you go
and i would also suggest hard mesh but if soft works for you thats fine

good luck and keep the sweet dyes coming

btw as far as the head goes if u like it and it works for u then its the best head u can have serriously i played my whole first season with an icon when i also had an x2 and an answer so yeah whatever works best for you

Okay, what is better about hard mesh than soft?

It is more consistent, throws better in rain(won't throw into the ground)

If you play field get rid of the soft and just get Hard mesh.
