Lacrosse Goalie Stick Pocket Is Off-Center. Why?

Question: When I pass or clear the ball my pocket is off centered. Instead of both sides of my mesh sloping one slopes and the other one is at a 90 degree angle. i dont know how to get rid of it. can you help?

Answer: Alex the most common reason for that to happen is that the mesh is actually strung off-center. If you look carefully and follow the diamonds across the mesh from one side to the other you may find that one side of is strung higher than the other. The way you are describing this situation it sounds like that is the problem.

If it's not you may just have some bad mesh. Mesh is woven in big machines and sometimes there is a "splice" where two ends are sewn together. That may be in your mesh too. Ot the mesh just might be off.

Check out those two things and let me know what you find. If it is neither you may just need to go buy some new mesh and string it up again.
