how do i make this pocket deeper...i have tried everything


and one really fast noob question...what is all the goalie equitment?

[SilverZeppelin]

a fast way to increase pocket depth is to let out the bottom string, but ud probly be better off redoing the sidewalls, ie doubling up where you want the pocket to be deeper. check out the tutorial page.

helmet
goalie gloves
cup
mouthguard
throat guard

you can wear additional padding, but keep in mind its a tradeoff between protection and mobility

Don't forget about the chest protector.

[BoiledEggs]

Your better off just getting it restrung. Itll take some work for you to do it. Are there any Lacrosse unlimiteds by you. As for the equipment silverzepplin got most of it except one very important piece, the chest protector.

unstring the sidewall and string it closed and skip 2/4 diamonds in the middle. and make sure you shampoo the mesh.

Don't ever, EVER skip diamonds! Just double up. It keeps the pocket a lot more consistent.

what exactly is the difference between doubling up and skipping diamonds?

doubling looks better in my opinion, and most of the time creates a more even pocket. dont ask why about that 2nd one, its very specific.

with your money, its an open sidewall job so the only way to get it deeper is to use more diamonds. i also think thats a factory string job, in which case i would change it because brine factory isnt that great.

I play with a pocket that shallow and I seem to do just fine

it is a factory job, but i dont want to re-string it until after the reason

so anyways to get it deeper?

[EHSLAX12]

well, thats the issue. you have to unstrung a factory job to get it deeper.

[asift94]

i have the same problems also,, it's really hard to get the diamonds to strech to an insane pocket

its gonna rip. i had a factory job on a goalmaster, open sidewall, and it was completely broken in too. then after a few games and some practices, the mesh completely ripped after a shot. kinda sucked. you have to redo factory jobs.

Yea my neighbor just got the same stick and it barely had a pocket in it and had a ton of rebound so I know what you feel. It also maybe better to get different mesh from jimalax.com

[lax21goalie2008]

If it was Warrior, the factory stringing would be actually decent. But since Brine did it, it WILL suck. IMO Brine has the worst factory stringing and mesh, I've seen so many topstrings and sidewall strings snap on brines.
