[lizlax22]

mark u are the man thanks

[Stopper22]

those look awsome. nice job man!

[out_o_luck]

lizlax, you are my hero dude, lol, do u have it written out how u did that, cuz my team colors are yellow n green

[lizlax22]

yea hit the link... i got it down pic by pic with "how to's" along with the pics, its the "TRITON" and "NITURS" albums... i had to leave it on that site b/c it would have been way too big to do it on this site

[MrTibs]

Awesome job! I wish i could do some stuff like that.

[bigDman]

liz how did you conect the nylon to the leather in the "skinny corner" pocket

[lizlax22]

if u check the close up pic of the channel of the "pick pocket" its the same way... insted of looping the string around once u do it twice... around the leather and over

[bigDman]

ok cool
im thinking of doing the "skinny corner" pocket

[lizlax22]

good choice, that one has become vary popular with friends

[bigDman]

cause it looks easy and effective

[D-monster]

Great sticks. I think im gonna try the pick pocket. How do you make the twists? Same as a coil except loose and spread out. ALso the channel is it just wrap around leather through loop to other side repeat process till your done? And for my final question how is the whip on it?

[lizlax22]

the twists, unlike a coil, don't wrap around itself u just twist it as if its 2 strings. try this...
go under the first leather then go over the next
then wrap the sting around itself making sure to get the leather and not to skip it... look at some of the close ups it'll make it easier to understand

as for the channel, the nylon goes arond the leather like normal but its done twice... go around the leather and over the nylon then under the first lop u just made go around the leather and over the nylon

the whip? no whip here but u can make it with whip no problem if thats what u want but hate whip... if u look at the pic where the channel isn't compleat yet:

http://thumbs.webshots.com/s/thumb4/1/48/82/86014882hLwHaq_th.jpg

u can see that the leathers are farther apart towards the scoop, now if u lok at the pic with the channel:

http://thumbs.webshots.com/s/thumb4/1/52/11/86015211rDdXUb_th.jpg

u can now see that the leathers are closer at the scoop and wider at the center... what this does is keep the stringing by the top of the head tight making a nice smooth release and it gets looser (if thats a word) as it goes down to where the ball sits... this makes the shooting strings life a little easier

[lizlax22]

hmmm... i wonder if ben would want to put this on his site ; )

[lizlax22]

o guys about the pic pocket after snooping around on lax nation an add for the guru talks about the trick i guess call the pick pocket just so u know i didn't get the name from that i had this name long befor i strun the pocket... * i hate being a coppy cat (for lack of a better word)*

[bigDman]

do ethir of there pockets have an extrmly quick relesse

[mwn8989]

i loved how you posted this as a sticky, truly a use of mod power to promote ones self, and for that i give you props

[lizlax22]

i only plan to leave it as a sticky for week though lol

[lizlax22]

[wildcatdefense]

I like that nItrous...it looks awesome.Great job on the stringing!:agree

[brett95lax]

how much material do you need for the pick pocket because i would like to try it (i mainly just need to know the measurements)

[brett95lax]

of the nylon that is

[lizlax22]

hmmmm... measurements... i guess i should start to do that... on the pick pocket i realy don't measure since i string with stuff thats in bulk so i just pull it off the spool and cut it but what i do know it is more string than whats in a normal traditional stringing kit... the skinny corner is only like a foot and a 1/2 on each side and i had extra

[bigDman]

do ethir of the pockets have a quick relesse

[lizlax22]

the way i have them strung the skinny corner has a quiker release but like any other stick it can be adjusted and the pick pocket has about the same if not a little slower... the skinny corner throws a little higher than the pinch pocket but again, that can be changed

[bigDman]

ok cool i think im going to do a quasar varation

[lizlax22]

go for it!... but on one condition... u get pics to show everone! lol ;)

[laxinsmith]

ya, seeing those helped me think of a new stringing idea, when i get it done ill be sure to post the pics of it. and how it works.

[Dpolelax]

damn those are sweet. the dye job is sick and the stringings are awesome. you should put them on laxnation. very nice. i have one question. is that just a regular green, cause it looks so cool.

[lizlax22]

the dye? color is dark green... and i did put the pick pocket on LN so i hope i can get myself a guru... already got a c pro

[wildcatdefense]

2 questions,which do you like better-triton or Nitrous,and then which stringing of yours do you like better????

[lizlax22]

i like the pick pocket a littel better but thats b/c of the increase in hold it has over the skinny corner and the nitrouse is a great head for picking the corners and the triton is a great all around head so its tough to say which i faver more

[bigDman]

oops i forgot to get pcs andd i unstrung it cause i couldnt get the finmg wip out my pocket

[Reinholds]

hey how do you dye your sticks, i have heard of it done before, but have never been told how to

[Reinholds]

where do you pick up this dye at?

[Hooligan]

I may be a bit late here, but the stick to the right in the first pic seems like it would be an awesome shooting head. The one to the left looks like the ball could eventually squirt through...don't know if I like that one....

BTW, does anyone have any good D-head string jobs? I'm not good at stringing yet, but I would like to see what I can do with my stick...as I grow in this sport!

[bigDman]

i like the coner pocket wiht low low sahotters in my d head

[meteora]

Reinholds- Try any arts and crafts store, I found mine in an 'AC Moore" in my area, I found it in the t-shirt section.

[Reinholds]

thanks meteora

[lizlax22]

walmats where the washing detergents(sp?) are

[Dpolelax]

grocery stores

[CHMiddie]

the pick pocket looks like a variation of a rock-it pocket......i really like it tho so once i finish pinching my wizard n get some new leathers, im gonna try to pull it off.

[lizlax22]

the channel in the pick pocket and the rock-it-pocket are the same

[CHMiddie]

same with the outside of it with the twisti's it jus doesnt have the saddle.

[lizlax22]

hmmm... looking at a pic now i see that it is vary similar... almost to similar... might have to make some changes... butu i got some ideas for a whole new pocket for my matrix when i get around to it

[CHMiddie]

Thank you for putting the pick pocket up tho....ive been thinking of getting a rock-it pocket. but seeing how you did it, i think ill just do that pocket. then i get more glory n a renewed title of having the best pocket on my team (im like the only kid that can string) i was gonna buy a rock-it pocket cuza that saddle. i guess ya dont need it tho.

[bigDman]

to do the saddle do what liz did but closer togther

[CHMiddie]

no its not.....not that at all. at camp a friend of mine had a rocket pocket n it was very complicated. they string all the outside with one string n then the channel all together. the saddle u gotta do something then rap around.....to confusing n complicated for my taste.

[lizlax22]

i know exactly what u are talking about... i've tried, over the past day or so, to look at the pics to see how it is done but i can't see it well enough... frustrating

[Reinholds]

yeah ill stick to the easy mesh's to string monster mesh and stuff

[Reinholds]

i think that those special string jobs look cool, and prolly have their benefits, but i think ill stick to the mesh, because it serves the same purpose and its simple enough for me to fix it in the field instead of having to send it to someone when you mess it up.

[CHMiddie]

that saddle....a kid at camp was teachin me how to do it....i still cant remember. o well...

[bigDman]

ask tonyfab he saysd he knows how

[Reinholds]

what is the saddlke

[CHMiddie]

if u look at a rock-it pocket, on the bottom of the channel there is all this string. its dun really wierd. thats the saddle.

[CMHlax06]

it's supposedly there so the ball sits in the saddle when u cradle one handed. I havent really looked at a rocket-pocket's saddle closely b/c it didnt ever look that hard to duplicate. I'll have to look at my friend's sometime.

[pumba]

dude how da hell do u do so good dyejobs and no how 2 string so good how many years have ya been doin it 4

[lizlax22]

eh... i've fooled around with sticks for a few years now... ever since i had one in my hand

[bigDman]

im getting good at it practice makes perfect

[joeyp2003]

dude with the limlax pocket is that 6d? and why are the sidewalls so loose is it supposed to be like that?

[LatinBabe]

wow... old thread alert! lol :agree

(i didnt know liz was so young...yeoww)

soo...um...liz...how about that mesh ehh? :laugh

[livin4lax09]

who cares if it's an old thread. You're the one who said on the suggestions forum that we should have a way of organizing things so that people don't have to make the same posts over and over, so instead of making another thread, they made a post here. You should be happy.

[LatinBabe]

I am... it made me see liz! lol.

no, im happy that things have come up about this again instead of starting a new thread. what made me say that was how joey must have been digging deep into the archives to find a thread that has been retired 4 months ago. :agree

wait did i miss something?

anyways the jimlax mesh... the review is in the making but since my season just started ive realy gotten a good chance to fool around with it... i what to see how good this stuff realy is

[smitt5168]

does the skinny corner have to use soft mesh or hard mesh

[LatinBabe]

yeah...when i went to go look through the pics when this thread was revised...i cam across the one with you at the computer? well...yeah...

i thought you were older than that? :agree

[lizlax22]

the skinny corner realy doesn't matter what type of mesh it is in the pic its hard mesh... and latinbabe im not that young unless you think 18 as a youngster

[bigDman]

i did the skinny coner with 6 D it didnt come out to well
