It's tight just tighten up your sidewalls, other than that looks wicked cool.

[Lax101]

Your sidewalls are way too loose. Otherwise, it's fine.

You might want to fix your pictures. It looks good, you might want to tighten them sidewalls up. Pound the pocket because it looks a little on the shallow side. Is it me or is the middle lace shooter red? Also, why do your lace shooters have an overlap thing in the middle of them? Is that just from doing it a certain way? Overall, nice job!

I would fix the rolled shooters, in the middle of them it you wrapped the shooters around the mesh incorrectly. And on the three sidewall links, you went through 2 mesh holes, then 1 then 2 again. Where did you want the pocket located?

[mklax]

Shazam- I kinda just wanted a big pocket and it was kinda early hah i realize my sidealls arent very tight and i plan on fixing them soon
and the one isn't red its just a darker orange only looks like that in the pic.

O.K, you know where you only went through 1 mesh hole in between the 2 links to the right and left of it where you went through two mesh holes? Next time if you want a big pocket just switch where you went through one mesh hole to 2 mesh holes. So your sidewall hole sequence would be:

1-1-1-2-2-2-1

Instead of:

1-1-1-2-2-1-2


That would allow you to have tight sidewalls, but still a big pocket as well. pm me if you need help.

thanks shazam and what was the problem with the shooters?

thanks shazam and what was the problem with the shooters?

In the very middle of them where you wrapped the shooter around the 2 mesh holes below the middle of the row you put each shooter on. I dont think it has any significant effect on how it throw, but the correct way would be to not have the overlapped thing there. Use this as an example:

if you look at the tutorial list and go down you'll see symetriacal rolled shooters and thats the method I used when I strung my shooters.

[ShazamLax25]

Oh, o.k. I guess it doesnt hurt. I've just always done mine that way. Post pics after you fix the sidewalls.

[BK_Knights_9]

I thought you did the symetrical shooter method but with straight shooters, it is usually for "U" or "V" shaped shooters.

[EastCoastSurf]

tighten your sidewalls and pound for the big pocket you want. and personally id redo the shooters they just look weird to me... just roll them straight across without the middle section

[rmolax888]

yea i really dont see the point in the symetrical rolled shooters, i would change it to reghular, mainly because it wont look as weird\

Edit: i also think it would look cooler if you put the darker shooter on the top

[talentedtodd]

I really like the colors but the sidewalls are a little too loose like previously mentioned. Also, like stated above, the symetrical rolled shooters look really weird and I do not see how the lump in the middle would help at all.

[mklax]
