i have a pocket pounder and i constantly pound it in wet or not and it does no good, should i get this?
|

 | - SunBakedPORK 6/24/11 reply
all you have to do is after you string a head wet the whole head including the mesh, put it on the shaft and then put a ball where you want the pocket. after that make sure the shaft is on an incline and just put a 5 pound weight one part on the ball and one part on the top of the head. leave it there over night and you willl have a perfect pocket |

yeah you are true cause i just did what you said and it does the same |

its easier and way quicker to put a butter knife between your head and a ball but i bent 3 butter knives whoops but i had a really shallow pocket |

u should use a screw driver there better...they dont bend as easy |

|
 | - dumdumdum 4/26/10 reply
this works good if.... just glue one of the wood things on so it cant screw off... then u can make it compact the put it in ur head and then screw it until ur poccket stretches. this might be what ur ment to do haha but if u dont glue it when u take it out the wood this will just come off and u cant get it ou. hope i made sense |

these are awesome. better than pocket pounder |

 | - jayhawkman34 4/15/09 reply
they should put some grip on it, if you are trying to move your pocket i recommend a ball and a screwdriver, this thing will slide to wherever ur pocket already is, other than that, its wonderful
i got a warrior pocket pounder for free via lax points with it...DO NOT BUY THE WARRIOR POCKET POUNDER, i know it looks cool and all, but its poorly built, its a ball with a screw through it on the end of a scrap piece of shaft....you could make one in 5 min that is better |

k so seriously i need a detailed instruction cuz i hav no freakin idea how tis thing works |
|
 |  |  | - stillwaterlaxer23 5/04/09 reply
you drill a hole in a ball about the same size as the screw driver heat them up a little and put it in
you can also glue it in the hole if your worried about it falling off but if you drill the hole just a little smaller it should be fine w/o |
|
 |  |  |  | - bpiz33 6/20/09 reply
not at all, you put either end in the pocket, force it down as far as you can and put the metal bar through both ends of the sidewall section |

no he is talking about how to make a pocket pounder |
|
|
|
|
 |  | - lax attackman 5/07/09 reply
it fits into the side of your head to stay in place so it will only work for normal sized heads |
|
 | - idle91 3/06/09 reply
Its pretty good but it normally only works where you want the sweet spot, which leaves a little hump to where it would catch the ball. It works nicely with a pocket pounder because the stretcher starts the area then the pounder makes the whole head broken in.
I'd say buy this and make your own pocket pounder with a screwdriver and a ball. Thats what I did. |
|
 | - laxoholic 1/04/09 reply
great tool to break in pockets. works on all heads and requires no effort. see if you can borrow a friend's though, 19 bucks seems a little steep |
|
 | - cchebert12 8/20/08 reply
take a ball, put it in the pocket, and stick a butterknife through the sidewall strings and wall. leave it overnight.
unless your like a store, then it seems useful. |

its really good 2 pound pockets with escpeccially cuz all u do is tighten it and leave and u got a pocket |

1. take lacrosse ball and put in lacrosse head
2. put butter knife in through sidewall over ball
3. thats it.
so if u buy this ur really lazy and retarded. |
|
 |  | - clutchattack3 5/15/08 reply
that's what I thought too, but this is faster and breaks the pocket in better, and it is a must have for breaking in trad and custom pockets. |
|
 | - laxhjl 4/20/08 reply
i take a ball and leaveit in my stick using pens and it seems to work just fine is it worth it to get this |
|
|
|
 |  | - olaxmid 7/21/08 reply
pens might work ok
but this is more adjustable and gives u a better pocket |
|
 |  | - coltlacrosse 3/10/09 reply
If you have canadian mesh then this is on the verge of being an absolute necessity. You could use a ball and a pen but this is cooler. |

 |  | - jakolingjoker 10/01/08 reply
well for starts, the more you crank it the deeper of a pocket you get, so obviously you cranked it to much |
|
 |  | - KnolliaLax35 1/07/09 reply
to conceal it in your shorts and when your team is on offense to secretly put it in your head and when you're playing defense continually beat the s#!t out of your attackman with all natural hickory. |
|
 |  | - coltlacrosse 3/10/09 reply
the same thing happened to me I went in with my brand new pocket stretcher and idk why but it made me play like CRAP! I couldent catch anything and ground balls were impossible. I think it may have been taking up too much of the pocket but it may have just been a coincidence. Anyway as soon as I removed this apparatus from my head I went back to normal. |

you put that middle bar under the plastic on both sides and twist the crank(but before you do that you'll want to wetten the net first

I've done it before but its only a temporary thing |
|
 |  | - clutchattack3 5/15/08 reply
you pretty much have to soak it in water with a brand new pocket before you break it in. |
|
 | - zande 12/24/06 reply
This is not made to break in your mesh pocket. This is made for stringers that string custom pockets around a ball. |
|
|
 | - gonthedino 12/13/06 reply
Just go out and play wall ball or just break it in yourself or just do it with ball and knife in warm water lawlz. |

Just got one of these today and strung up my proton. I slapped the pocket stretcher on the head and left it there for a few hours. After about 5 hours, i took out the stretcher and the pocket was formed perfectly. I don't have to deal with pounding the pocket or using the butter knife trick (it worked, but not all that great) This stretcher works wonders. I'm leaving it on my stick over the night so a nice pocket forms. |
|
|
 |  |  | - laxattack90 12/21/03 reply
all you do is put a ball in your pocket and slide a butter knife into the mesh or the sidewall, so that the ball is putting pressure on the net. |
|
 | - and1man500 2/26/03 reply
I have a matrix and the screwdriver/pencil and the ball wern't working so I bought one of these and its great. It isn't hard to use at all, just put it in and twist until it starts getting hard. Once you get it, you will understand what to do. BUY ONE |

This thing worked awesome for me. I have a cyber and it fit well into one of the slits but you have to put it in vertically and then twist it because the cyber is fairly pinched. On somethng even more pinched like a matrix it might not work at all. However, if you get it to work for you it makes a kickass pocket. |

forget my last comment, i figured it out. look, i bought the thing and its amazing. perfect pockets in no time at all.

is the little ne for womens or what? is thebig or little one better? |
|
 |  | - Farticus28 3/07/02 reply
the bigger side is mainly for building the pocket, the smaller one is the exact size of the ball, so when it is used, a perfect little home for the ball is formed |

What type of stick do you have, and what type of stringing. Because I heard from somebody that it doesn't work on certain types of sidewalls. |

You put the metal piece flat thingy under your sidewall, both ends sticking out. Then you screw in whatever end you want into the pocket and leave it there for awhile. come back after awhile and you have a perfect pocket! |
|
 |  |  |  |  |  |  | - Lax2STUD 6/27/02 reply
Also you want to make sure you use the right end. One end is bigger than the other for forming the pocket or making a channel for your lacrosse ball. |
