Well, I have some stuff to show you guys tonight..

First, a second gen g-force with the rubber taken off. Thanks to dta06 for a great trade. Its double sidewall, nothing you guys haven't seen before. Mid-high pocket. Haven't thrown with it yet. Its the first thing I've strung since the turkey day contest. I really didn't like stringing this thing. It took me a while to figure out how I could get it to work. I finally decided to just do double sidewalls. Enjoy!

Next up is my "stringer's tackle box" aka a jimalax box filled with most of my stringing supplies randomly thrown in, along with some cd's, track medals, stickers, and some other stuff. This is just to show you guys that I am just as organized as everyone else here (10).

Last up is a homemade pocket pounder. I made this thing last summer I think, and I am really proud of it. Acually, not really, but yea... Its a tennis ball filled with sand, somehow attached to a screw-driver, and completely covered in duct tape. Its pretty amazing (2).

stringing speaks for itself. looks good.

as goes one of the forum mantras for everything else

"If it works, it works."

Nice double sidewalls.

Looks like my stringing box!


Actually...thats a 2nd gen g-force w/the rubber off...(With a great pocket, I might add)
The 1g's didn't have rubber.

Oops, thats what I meant to write. And thanks about the pocket comment.

Maki- I don't think its the new stuff, I've had it for a while. When did they change their stuff?

the pocket looks great, for some reason I can never get normal looking sidewalls on my g-force,

but yours looks good.

The stringing is really nice, I like the neon green/black combo. The box and pounder are...creative.

I tend to think that only a very small percent of stringers have a "tackle box". They all look like yours.... well, that means mine too.

Another mesh pocket, another day...

Looks nice though.

your "tacklebox" looks just like mine. Those JimaLax boxes work well, dont they?

I just threw around with it, and I'm fairly happy. It has a really smooth release, but not enough whip for me. I could fix that easily though. It has decent hold too, not amazing.

* I :love: LOVE the color contrast / combo of the light green and black. Don't be surprised if it winds up missing sometime... I mean, what?

* Haha, I have a couple of those boxes in my garage from jima, and I agree that they're awesome.

* That pocket pounder is ingenious. Leave it to a laxer to make something useful with sand, a screwdriver, some duct tape and a tennis ball. :thumbsup:
