It can stretch out of its original good shape more quickly than one might like, and when it stretches it is not always in a consistent way. As the mesh diamonds get bigger, the throws, and especially the shots, can get more easily hung up in the pocket causing the ball to be pulled to one side. Mesh pockets can get slick. The ball can slide in the pocket and that makes the release less predictable. Mesh pockets can change when wet or it is raining, and even sometimes when the humidity goes up or down, even just a little.
They stretch when wet. There are plenty of them out there heads, that is to be had. When talking heads Rock-it Pocket tries to limit somewhat the vast number of names and choices available, and hopefully narrow things a little to some of what we think are the very best options.
Even with that effort there still are 58 heads to choose from today on the Rock-it Pocket web site alone, and that does not include the 7 goalie heads we offer. There are literally hundreds of head models on the market being manufactured by lots of different, or sometimes even the same companies, but that is another story. Whatever the model of lax head we string up, we aim to have the pocket sit in it comfortably, and not to force some preconceived notion on an unsuspecting head or player.
Rock-it Pocket is very fortunate to have players at CSU as well as the Fort Collins Viper, the Thompson Valley boys, and the thriving Windsor programs locally to help us find out which heads players like more and less and why.
They are so unlike in attitude. Handle feedback helps, too. We try to use what we learn about stick components wisely to guide stick seekers to find just the right stick to suit their style of play. That is our goal for goalies as well. Different positions and roles impact stick choosing in many obvious and different ways. We have been trying to advance our method with mesh and the material that goes in and around the weave.
There are new and newer types of synthetics being used, and they are manufactured in various thicknesses. There are always mesh diamond number choices for pocket users to make, too. Marc Canadian Mesh has been around for almost 5 years. The claims are weather resistance, and that MM catches and holds like a soft mesh but still has the accuracy of hard mesh.
The mesh is thick and soft for really great hold if you are looking for ball control characteristics as the top pocket priority. Discussion on the pros and cons of mesh of different sizes and hardness appear around the site.
Feel free to poke around. We wanted to find out how regular diamond hard mesh patterns would do if we really emphasized attaching the mesh in the scoop region of the head as tightly as we possibly could.
There was some goalie-type technology used so that the mesh would be anchored to the head on both the front and back sides of the scoop, The theory would add that there would be less pocket sag, too, and all of this might lead to more consistency throughout the life of any given mesh piece.
It played great, and it had great hold right in the center middle of the head for winding up, and it could also fire quick wrist passes from the ear, too. There seemed to be great promise.

You are using an out of date browser. Next, we will create the pocket. Then do a regular interlock as shown above. What this does is bunches the mesh up but it won't make the pocket too baggy. This step is crucial, some people do regular singles or double ups, not covered in this tutorial, but I believe they make the pocket far too baggy and undefined. Finish the sidewall by doing interlocks the rest of the way down, then go IN through the mesh and OUT through the plastic. Tie it off and you're finished!
Go through any of the last two 5 diamond rows on the second to middle mesh hole. Then go through the next, there should be one hole in between, symmetry is key. Then go up through the plastic and down the other end and your finished!
