i would check out some tutorials on this one the triangle top string is wrong jtlyk

[laxman2099]

yeah i tried to follow a tutorial but when you have to double back(esentially makeing the triangle) it wouldn't come out right

[LaxDman62]

You dont really need to double up for the torque. Just interlock and use holes where you want the pocket. Look at the Laxstore tut for the triangle topstring.

[laxman2099]

i was talking about the topstirng. i doubled up where i wanted the pocket to be and that seemed to work

[LaxDman62]

Your sidewalls look messed up. You need to fix those.

For the topstring do yo umean you wont be bale to fit the string throught? Three strings go through each holes that you use for the topstring. You just need to push the string through.

[laxman2099]

no, after i strung it thorugh on one side left to right, then your supposed to go back correct? it just wasnt comeing out right. whats wrong with the sidewalls?

[MiddieMan05]

eh, it is very messy. I know you looked at tutorials, but I'd take another look and really try to neaten it up. The sidewalls seem really loose and messy, so you should clean those up. And I'm not sure what you mean by doubling up the topstring, but I don't think you need to do that. Just follow the tutorial and it should work out fine. Which tutorials were you looking at by the way?

EDIT: and try to break that mesh in a lot more for a deeper and better pocket

[laxman2099]

yeah im pounding the mesh now. and have done ball+ butterknife a few times

[laxman2099]

and not doubling up, when you have to come back after you do it the first time

firsst pass> left to right

second right to left

[The Doors]

just go take a look at oranges turtorial....your pocket needs a bunch of help

[laxman2099]

i used oranges for the sidewalls

[baseballsucks]

use this tutorial for sidewalls, http://www.lacrosseforums.com/showthread.php?t=57523

and use this tutorial for the topstring only, http://www.lacrosseforums.com/showthread.php?t=22944

And to me it looks like you didnt stetch your mesh enough, when you stretch the mesh stretch it as much as possible, for a minumim of like five minutes.

Oh, also you are doing the shooting strings wrong, go to the mesh stringjobs sticky, and examine those, you will get it right.

Hope this all helps.

[laxman2099]

alright thanks, and i streched it longer than 5 minutes

[laxman2099]

and i used two strings for the sidewall, like in oranges other tutorial

[BurnSomeRope]

not gonna lie... first thing i said when i saw the pictures was OH MY GOD :WTF:
check out the tut list

[baseballsucks]

and i used two strings for the sidewall, like in oranges other tutorial
WELL DONT USE THAT ONE, YOURE A BEGINNER IN STRINGING, SO USE THE ONES I GAVE AND THEN POST MORE PICTURES AND ILL HELP YOU OUT FROM THERE IF YOU WANT ME TOO

[SuperDuper46]

Or ask for help from a kid on your team that strings his on sticks

[laxman2099]

its the offseason.. but i will restring it

[Show'emTheNumba]

alright well I know everyone is saying "look at the tutorials"
You should do that but also look at a stick that throws like you want it to and try to copy it.
Also once you learn to do the top string make sure its tightt
good first try and keep on truckinn

[lawrencelax18]

also i would say for your topstring u should probably learn how to do it normally first before you go trying the triangle topstring. i'm sure that that one of oranges tutorials shows u how to do that. but hey thats a lot better than my first stringing. and that pocket you have isnt a bad thing you might not like it but as you get better at this you will learn how to string tons of different kinds of pockets and whatnot so dont worry about the shape of it just worry about getting the stringing part done right.

[laxman01]

Not bad for an attempt. But next time, use a tutorial.

[townlax]

show it now that you have fixed it

[LKtlax]

have a friend whos a good stringer, string it and you try and recreate and edit what you want thats how i learned to string

[dgeorgeNY]

thats really bad but youll get better if you just keep practicing.

[armadillo soup]

you need oranges tutorials they help so much just follow them step by step EXACTLY and you will have a nice pocket

btw: your shooters arent too bad :thumbsup:

[c0letraiN]

i was talking about the topstirng. i doubled up where i wanted the pocket to be and that seemed to work

Doesn't really look like it worked lol. Your pocket is pretty shallow, go read oranges doubling up tutorial and the top string tutorial. I would say start over with the whole thing, it'll come out much better the second time I think. Also, from the pictures it looks like you used 2 strings for each sidewall, did you?

[murderlax]

from the pictures it looks like you used 2 strings for each sidewall, did you?
thats what you're supposed to do in a double sidewall

its a string job, but deffinately not the prettiest.
i would take it all out, and start over and string more cleanly. the topstring is done wrong, but we have a tut on that(and the double sidewall).
on your shooters, i would tighten the rolls alot, it'll cause too much friction and make you lose shot speed.

it pretty bad, but it can all be simply fixed.
nice attempt :thumbsup:

[Ryan24]

whole thing looks a little weird try it again and itl turn out

[veronalax33]

well you gave a valiant effort, but it didn't turn out too well. stick to a normal topstring before you go to triangles. use the tut list, it helped me out greatly. the rolling of your shooters is a little sloppy, too. nice attempt for a first time, but you really gotta use the tut list.

[ryan72]

looks better than my first attempt. but it also can be better
