BAMMM!!!! oh well, there's fifteen minutes, some crosslace, old sidewall, and old mesh down the drain. and it's american mesh from jima.
makimaki: the bottom most shooter. it doesn't look too red because I'm straight up terrible at pictures and lighting et cetera.

yeah I was depressed. but the thing with these contests is that for the most part the best looking pocket is also the worst performing one. but mine is actually performs well, something I didn't expect. I guess I should have either done it on a less-pinched head or pushed in the two runners before I took pictures because for most of the pocket it doesn't really even look like I have them in there.

That is very nice. The red it the third one down, but that is actually closer to maroon, so they might not have counted it for that reason. My skittles explosion head didn't make it, but it has been posted a bunch of times already, so I couldn't really expect it to count.

hahaha, which one is yours? and for the most part I meant like legality and such. it looks like half of the pockets on there wouldn't pass a basic stick check.

that's a really good idea, I think you should have taken a face picture of it though. from that angle it looks messier than it probably is.

reverse corner w/ a pita twist as i mentioned in the other thread besides the goalie head......i though about doing it but wasn't sure if they would count it
faceofflax15
12-20-2006, 06:20 PM
Yah I like Ehs and Kings, I don't know why they were taken,
L4xm4st3r I think yours wasn't taken because they were so many entrees it isn't fair to have two when others don't have one.
And KindDawgwell, It actually had 0 whip, The kid's old nylon just completly snapped, and his brother didn't want to string anohter one, so he cut out all of it, gave me my supplies, and told me to make it just like the other one, but I strung it differnt, cause the old one was a mess, but it throws great..Pretty good hold, I hate answers..
It's sorta like a CC Corner Pocket.

I hate answers.
I couldn't agree with you more. any time I get feedback from someone who I strung up an answer for says the same stuff: "yeah it shoots high and passes really low, really inconsistent." but I mean, with a head that flexible and pinched, I guess its only natural.

It's possible to fix, especially with a custom, I just hate them because, They are way to flexible, and it's a head made by brine.
I liked them when they were 40...

12-20-2006, 10:22 PM
That money looks amazing
It probably wasn't picked because theres not really any red on it, the two shooters look pinkish. That is the only thing that I can think of because that pocket is better than half of the ones in the top 20

Yeah. I advise NEVER doing that.. it shrinks it sooooooooo much, at least using boiling dye does.. I wonder how it would fare against liquid dye.
MaKiMaKi13
12-21-2006, 06:58 PM
probably just the same, is it rockhard though? i wanted to see what boiling actually did to mesh so i did it to one of my olllddd 10D pieces and now its like rock hard - hardmesh
AttackMan17

I dyed my micro from jimalax...It was super hard at first, but if you rebreak it in, then it gets like broken in hard mesh.

I tried to go as Patriotic as possible. But i was tired of coloring in crosslace with a red magic marker. So that was as red , white, and blue as i was going.
