Well, here is a *free of charge* epro I strung up for my friend (I'm too nice :nahya: ). The first pics are what it used to look like. They are after about a year of use, and the stringing is actually mine, from about a year ago. The 2nd ones are what I just strung up, 2? days ago. So here is living proof that if you practice alot, you will get better.

Unfortunately for both of us, the stick broke the next day in practice.

That before pocket isnt too bad. Your after is definately awesome though. Just wondering, did your friend possible have a wee bit trouble throwing, passing, etc. with his new pocket? It seems like you changed it up quite a bit since his original pocket was mid-low while the new one is high.

How do you do those triangle topstrings so good? Do you follow a tutorial or do you just know how?

I doubled up once, between the 4th and 5th sidewall holes.
I interlocked the first 3 holes, singled the next, doubled the next, then singled the rest.

He told me it had a little bit more whip than the old one, but I think that is because of the nylon I put on top. I put it there to eliminate any lip, but then I remembered that's what the triangle topstring was for.

I look at pictures, and remeber how to do it.
Someone posted a good little tutorial in one of Phishmeister's old threads.

very nice but, your high pockets(in which the only pockets i ever see from you)seem less "defined".It seem like you pound/string them so that they have some "bag" near the throat.If i am thinking correctly they will become a little more mid pocket after they break in.Mine always go straight into the bottom string on a nice angle, yours more so an arc.Remember i am not razzing at all(its rather sweet) but less defined as a high pocket and more of a high arc pocket, this probably makes no sense but if you feel the need, pm me and ill go into detail.This is just a pet peeve of high pockets for me.Although there is no other pocket i would use.
EDIT-looked at pics better,im not as right as i thought.Although the kannon i saw was like this

Yea, I know what you mean. I purposely(sp?) pound towards the throat too, that way it is slightly broken in so on one handed cradles and things, the ball doesn't just stay right where it is. It gives it more give in my opinion. But the pockets don't shift down after use, they pretty much stay where I string them.

That looks really good. Plenty of whipage and the pocket has good shape.

I like it. Good job. Though, I kinda like that channel-esque thing you had going in the first one. Nevertheless, its good.
It kinda reminds me of my Evo Pro. Beautiful High pocket. Mine has one rolled, and a nylon though.

Without the top blue nylon, it actually wasn't that whippy. But unfortunately, it broke before he could get used to it.
