tests to tell?

[destructivelax]

How do you know if your stick has alot of hold/whip/quick release? like for example, the verticall ball test tells me if i have alot of hold. how would i know if i have alot of whip? because i adjust my throwing fairly quickly so i can't really tell if something seems to have alot of whip. everything feels pretty natural to me. also, how would i know if i have a quick release? i've tried quickly rolling the ball out using a wrist snap but i can't really tell the differences except for extreme examples.

like stand with your stick next to your hip and snap your wrists upward with the ball in the pocket

if it almost decapitates you youve got some whip if it releases pretty much straight not much hope that helps

you need to just get more experience stringing sticks. its not something you learn, its just something you pick up and get a feel for.

kingdaegell is somewhat right, i think a couple tests would be letting the ball roll outa it with a wrist snap (stick perpindicular to your hip *scoop looking forwards) or do it two handed.

but it dosn't seem like you have a problem if you can adjust to sticks quickly, the hold thing is a little more difficult, the simplest one is jut to cradle with it, and let the ball roll out (like a ref's stick check) but nothing's gonna be accurate because the characteristics change in a game situation

agreed. when you string up a pocket and put in the shooters it may look normal, but when you go throw thats the real test. anything can happen. i strung a low pocket once and it was blatantly low...but when i went to throw it whipped really badly. no lip, i used a triangle top for that...but a lot of whip.

i just put my stick out parallel to the ground, push forward and pull back real quickly, if the ball goes at my face, thats how much whip i want, other people test it and see if it goes straight up, its just their perference
(yeah im a whip lover)
dam that sounds dirty ^_^
