This one was a hot topic!

High Pockets have way too much whip for me. Mid low - low is golden for me

I feel like if you have a high pocket you can bring your stick back farther when your winding up to shoot with less of a risk of the ball flying out of your stick when your in your shooting motion. Therefore giving you more power to your shot.

I completely agree, I fell into the trap of high pockets because of their looks and I lied it at first but I had a very inconsistent pocket, and an extremely long bottom string. I decided to try a mod

Greg your completely right I string stick for my team and they ask for the three things in a high pocket which is impossible like on a proton power with not a lot of Side wall holes you took the word right out of my mouth a lot of people don't understand , thanks for clearing it up

It should also be mentioned that high pockets are pretty inefficient, with pretty negligent gains on hold and whip. They also are horrendous for cradling one handed, as they sit high (obviously)and are less "centered" on your hand, making them less stable. I'd say in almost every case, it's better to go mid or mid high, depending on whip preferences.

Greg I love your honesty in your videos and theories! Half the people do exactly what you showed when you pounded the pocket high and than show the channel ect! When people get a custom strung pocket from a big stringing company I'm not naming any because I'm not going to throw them under but when you choose a high pocket and you receive it and you go throw around with it, it bags out and isn't what you ordered in the picture that you saw about your high pocket you do need a long bottom string as you said to create a "high pocket" and you need to sacrifice a really tight channel and interlocking at the end help a little bit but the best thing to do is have a high pocket! You know your stringing and exactly how the pockets form I've learned so much from your theory's they should be facts in my opinion but everyone is different and how they see things but I trust your words and your theories because I infact have a really high pocket with a long bottom string and it sits right where I want it your 100% right and spot on about your high pocket theory thanks for all the tips keep up the fantastic work buddy

I've been using a high pocket for more than a year now and I do everything he says exept I put my own twist on it!

Just got my 20mm mesh in the mail this afternoon. It is great! So much hold and its throwing great!

to get a little tighter of a channel in a true high pocket you can do a stacked SI after the second interlocked diamond which you string to the inside of the head and also string the following double or triple to the inside of the head. so for the i(nside)ssi you go - under under, into the hole from the inside of the head, come up and then go DOWN into the first and the second diamond and then pull it tight while staying on the inside. you follow that up with a double or a triple after which you also go in through the inside of the head first and voila.

I use a high pocket with the rebel offence and it’s a sniper I’ve been using high pockets since I started stringing my own sticks and you you don’t have to pull down 4 you can pull down 3 and then just knot two side wall holes

Haha when you said "the truth" I thought it was gonna have some sad music in the background and greg would reveal the ugly truth and the horrible reality about high pockets haha

If you loop the first whole u start ur side wall in on the diamond that the top string is on and knot the next 3 diamonds u could still have a high pocket with a good channel

Is it possible to get a high pocket (a lot of hold) with having mid to low whip?

exactly why i use mid-low on my weapon x, and a mid-high on my ion/previous mirage 2’s, highs are inconsistent for offense and if your new to the game the whip is uncontrollable

im i the only person that prefers a mid low pocket?

You should do a theory Thursday on the different topstrings and they're advantages

To make a channeled high pocket you can space out your interlocks more or have the first or second interlock looser than the ones after

He is in the new office!!! cant wait for a tour!!!

heads with high enough flair can keep their channel with less interlocks. for example, im using the nike CEO and you can get a great high pocket with channel

Theory of the differences between pitas and trads

I always end with SI and a double or triple skip then tie off through 9th of ten diamond row at bottom, and long fairly tight or taught bottom,

where can I get volt yellow and black candy cane east coast mesh for my lakota. I couldn't find the candy cane style on the website

Great video. This is why you always see guys cradle below their waist before they launch one... let gravity do its thing and set the ball high up in the head.

agreed baggy mid pocket all the way

I love your theory Thursday could you do the theory of stringing a low pocket that does not bag out or shift up to high

What would you recommend me string if I am a short stick middie playing with a brine edge x (personnel preference), I can't figure out the best way to string for good shooting.

You should make a video on cleaning east coast mesh without damaging the wax coating!👍

Tbt video

Thanks greg i've tried to make high pockets after high pockets and they have NEVER worked. Now i know ill stick with this mid high!

Can u do a step by step super power plus high pocket

if you really want a 'high' pocket, you can string up high and tie off the mesh like 3-5 holes early

I realized this last year while watching a Kyle Harrison shooting video. He ripped a shot and started talking to the camera and I noticed his high pocket sagged a lot

Bag = Swag No discussion

Should you use less tight of a top string so the top is less tight

I see the beasts og blade in the background ;)

thanks that made me feel better about my high pocket that is not really high by the way I use ecm black and I love it!

Hey greg from ecd i only string , use, perfer highpockets for myself because istarted off with one . Can you make a stringing video with a ceo or a head with a throat that is pinched as much. Thanks and i only ask this cause there is no video of showing a good way to string a high pocket. This was the closest video but it was nothing visual

can you do a tutorial on how to string that head?

I get a lot of requests for mid-low, hold, channel, and no whip. is this even possible? Ive attempted it multiple times but never have really perfected it

Can you do a fogo head and pocket theory

Is your volt lakota for sale ? Or can I purchase a head just like that one? Same pocket and same way it’s strung and all

Love the vid wondering if you could do a theory thursday on whip and hold

Do one on the chenango top string. That would b awesome

is it possible to do a tutorial on a nike vapor with a high pocket or mid high maybe, that has good hold and not too much whip. ive used your sidewall method in your previous video on the vapor but the only problem i had was too much whip and was hard for me to get the hang of. my shooters might have made a big difference on the whip too but i dont know. if you could reply and give me your thoughts or do the tutorial then it would help lots. thanks

Unfourtantley my ECM is worn down only after 1 season and barely shifts if at all

what if you string a chenango top string and then double or triple up.

You are absolutely right

You can tighten up the channel by using the 9 diamond row SI like you see in Mark Matthews stick then a stacked SI right after?im not sure if that would work because i use a low pocket but its a thought

Hey i love lacrosse and have been playing for 5 years since i lived in another state. This year i'm a sophomore in high school and want to start a team at my school. Money isn't a problem for my school but the reason why i can't start a team is because it's not a state sponsored sport where i live. What steps can i go about to get my school interested. There are around 5 schools in my city that have a team but they too are private schools. Do you have any advice? Any lacrosse programs i could contact to help me get this started?

What about on a CEO? Or a head like that with that kind of flair?

What if you interlock 2 bunch one then interlock once more?
