OK I KNOW THERE IS A THREAD FOR THIS.

i think i strung the pocket to high. it has so much whip/it just throws straight down

i tightened the top string and then i didnt have control when i thru it. think i should lower the pocket?

That doesn't look like it has much whip, but if it does, you should lower the pocket. You could have lots of hold and still be able to throw with it if you adjust the way you throw though...

Your shooters should be like this: Top is tightest, bottom is loosest, and middle is in between. You could also try rolling your shooters backside too.

I would lower the pocket not only because of the whip, but because the head is pretty wide where you're pockets at. Take advantage of that pinch.

1. Tighten all 3 shooters as much as you can, but don't tie them off.
2. Now go outside and shoot and throw with your stick. The first few throws will be bad. But then the shooters should start to loosten up and be the way you want them.
3. Keep throwing and shooting until it throws the way you want, then tie the shooters.

That should work,.

do what talent just said
i would actually take off the bottom shooter add, rolled U or a V and try tightening the topmost string again

(pocket isnt that high IMO)

Tighten up the sidewalls, and do what Talent says, that method works for getting your shooters working. Otherwise.... is your mesh soft? You could try some new hard mesh.

looks good to me... but if it throws down too much loosen it or lower it.

Doesn't look like much whip to me. Untie the shooters, and keep throwing against a wall until it feels right. S'what i do if my shooters feel uncomfortable. Even better is to throw with a friend, as you can throw harder and get a better feel for it.
