[experiment] 'Softer' Shooters

[Twist]

When my sticks get used and abused, sometimes the shooters get stretched out and they flick the ball harder, making it more rigid and segmented when you throw...

I like the smooth release, no matter how old a pocket is.. so far, this is working--

Weave a shooter like normal, and with the long excess of the string, go back through the same row of diamonds once then tie off on opposite end. it make's it fatter/wider, and a more gradual release..

just a tip. i've been using it in my games (the bottom mini pic) and i really like it, maybe someone else would.

So you weave it twice through the same row? Can't hurt to try.

looks interesting, i have noticed the same thing with my old, hard shooters

[Twist]

well it's not twice.. if you think about it, a normal weaved shooter has a weave done 2 times.. here, i say do those 2 the same, then run it once more (so it's like a 1/2 done normal shooter)... i haven't tried doing it 2 full times in 1 diamond set.

do a regular weave then you would just weave it through once, and not weave over it. i see how it is. thats interesting, i might try that out.

twist, you know tio ruocco?

[Twist]

Yes, i know all the red lion boys. Teo and Josh weren't manly enough to last through the fall.

[kingdawgell]

why don't you just weave another shooter in the row between the ones already there? seems like you'd get the same effect.

[MACDADDY]

and just to throw an idea out there, you could have a really long piece of shooter and weave it the first time making sure that one side is longer, and the weave the longer side back.

[MaKiMaKi13]

its different maybe ill try it out when i get another stick to mess around with

that is exactly what I was attempting to explain.. you just said it better I guess.
