Hey guys. I strung up my guardian a few days ago but i cant get it to throw how i want it. It throws good short but putting a lot of power in the throw sends the ball into the ground :ahhno:. Any tips?

Heres a run-down from my point of view.

- Replace the shooting lace runners with regular sidewall runners. TIGHTEN them!
- Shallow up your bottom string
- Tighten the top nylon

Try all of those and then see how it throws.

use all ur holes, it would make the mess move less.
it looks good otherwise.

i had the same roblem with mine i would keep everything the same but move the shooters down and add another one and replace the runners with the sidwall mess and tighten them as much as you can

Upon even closer inspection, it looks like you wrapped the open sidewall string around the shooting laces INSIDE the diamonds. You need to redo this because the open sidewall string should be wrapped IN BETWEEN the tips of two diamonds.

HOW IT SHOULD BE
<>|<>|<>|<>

HOW IT IS
<|><|><|><|>


<> = Mesh Diamond | = Open Sidewall string

If I were you, I'd read or re-read the goalie stringing tutorials on here, look up some 17D stringing examples, and start over.
