I strung my clutch with jima 10D. There is a straight shooter 1 row below the scoop, its pulled as tight as it can get. Then there are two U's 1 row apart. the bottom one is very loose, and the middle one is a little tighter than the bottom. The problem is that it passes perfect (I can feel the whip), but when I shoot i cant feel the ball come out at all. The accuracy is very hard to control. 'Is there anything that i can do about this. If nothing, I'm thinking about doing 2 straights and 1 U or a V.

Yes, I do like whip but not so much. Mostly it is the feel of the ball in the head, that I like.

higher pockets tend to give you more feel of the ball IMO

I have a high pocket. The first pic looks weird, the pocket is allot deeper, almost illegal.

my guess is that when you pass the release point is where you want it and you can feel it go over the other shooters. When you shoot, it puts more pressure on the pocket so it realses on an earlier shooter. Are any of your shooters tight enough (besides the top of course) to make that happen with the added torque of a shot?

should i tighten the middle one even more?, would it be easier to do this if I had two straights?

no im saying if anything loosen the bottom one just a bit because i think the added torque of a shoot causes it to "catch" more if you will and release at a different point.
