Whip Factor

[sidewinder19]

how much whip do you like?1 is throwing high(like aim mid cage and get it over the net),10 is DOWN(like aim mid cage break your own toe)

ill start it off, i like around a 3

[EastCoastDeft]

5 because if you throw mid cage it goes to mid cage and its eaiser to string within a minute in my opinion

[laxattack09]

Yeah i like around a three. sidewinder how can you get a 3 on high pocket?

[laxchance9871]

i agree. i like around a 3

[AttackMan17]

In the goal...zero. I just want to be able to clear all the way down the field.

On my helix, about a 5. On my primer, 14 out of 10. I started with whip really early...So, I can still aim my shots where I want, and throw pretty far with a really whippy pocket.

[JellyUK]

I like whip. So i put a 7. I have toned my whip down a bit, i have learned to string a pocket with hold without too much of whip...

I still like it though, makes me "feel" the ball more. Seems like i have more control over it.

[HoyaSaxa09]

7 Because my hard mesh is really soft now and the pocket holds well.

Just went back to whippy pockets. Havent looked back since. Now my shots are in the 80-90s again.

[UVAlaxer432]

A 2 is about right for me.

there's already a thread on this. it's kind of old though. and to quote James: "0 because for me, my stick throws with no whip."

your stick for you should throw with 0 whip, meaning it doesn't throw down or up, but right to where you want it.

1. i like as little whip as possible.

You read my mind. people might say that it has a bumpy release and its inconsistant but its the only way i roll. and rock for that matter :agree:

[laxn]

I would say about a 4 just enough for hold and a good wind up, but not too much that it makes it hard to make quick passes.

[Live4It]

About a 4 for me as well, I like some whip.

[EHSLAX12]

goalies can have whip too....i go about a 3 or 4 because i like to throw far, but i also like to throw line drives.

[faceofflax15]

Like, a 7...

[Falconsmikevick]

I'd say an 8

[swish7209]

i like about a 4 it seems to be perfect release i guess.

[MAlax42]

Around a 7. I like to be able to shoot hard but still throw far, but I guess it's different for me somewhat because I'm a pole. If it's a shorty, I'll use around a 4.

[drifter8027]

on my game stick i use about a 4 but i had this old g-force that when i got it wet it would be like a 67 out of 10......it wouldnt come out when i would throw as hard as i could.....it simply did not do it

[chsattack22]

i like a 6, usually i shoot high when i shoot and a 6 is a little more than the middle 5..so yea

[Dub C lacrosse]

I like 3 cuz thats how its always been.

[spyopticgoggles]

i like a 2-3 because i like to point my stick atmy target and have it go rite there, but i like to feel the ball leave my stick

yea im with king on this one , but either way i like no whip like a 1 tops, but when i shoot it definitely doesnt go way over the cage

[laxstarmp]

5..but the pita i just strung may qualify for "watch your foot"..i g2 c how it throws

[laxman01]

i'd say a 3... just a little bit to "feel" the ball and enough to effect the pass

[MUHS #30]

I put a 5 or so because i started out with some wip to my starter stick. Then i got my hand on a crankshaft, so whip=good

[bubba]

9 or 10 everyone who uses my stick usualy hits the ground
