I didn’t even string my first mesh stick until my junior year of HS in 96, and I was one of the few kids rocking hard mesh then.

I do miss the feel of a well done traditional pocket. Though I must admit, mesh can be more finely tuned to fit your throwing and shooting style, especially with all the different variants available (soft, semi-soft, semi-hard, etc…).

These heads are really clean though. Nice job.

kidding. I feel like the soft side is concave and shrinks more so I put it on the inside of the pocket. smooth side is convex and the smooth side shrinks less so to me it makes sense and prevents unnatural bunching.

it’s not as easy as mesh. you have to know a couple more techniques and understand how the crosslace interacts with itself but I taught myself using pictures of other people’s sticks.

If you go to the laxforums, there is a stringing section where they will walk you through (with pics) step by step. Worth learning in my opinion and will help you string mesh better as well.

It takes a little while to break in… probably a bit longer than mesh but not too bad. Especially if you string the pocket around a ball. I do this by getting the crosslace that connects the 4 leathers first. then putting a ball in, tightening the leathers down and then putting the sidewalls in… instant pocket that requires an hour or so of break in. about the same as mesh for me.
