[@Minivramp]

The best stringing tutorial I've ever seen. I'm gonna start doing pita pockets and custom pockets soon. So this helped A LOT.

[@MKotce]

Just strung one for the first time using this video. After 2 hours and watching it 3 times a part, It has come out. Its a little sloppy but it works well. Thank you for the tutorial!

[@nathanwalker3014]

Thanks for your help I just bought strings to string a pita pocket on my brine blueprint because of you and your great vids thanks alot for your help

[@LeonSpaghetti]

What are you talking about? This editing helps so much! Especially the sneeze edits.

[@NationOfElite]

i just strung my answer pro with a pita pocket while watching this video it worked great and now it is my gamer thanks for the help weston

[@PandamonicMind]

Thanks so much i strung my first pita because off this, all of the other how to string a pita pocket videos are in parts and don't have a second part.

[@cheeseheadlax]

thanks this was my first pita and because of you it turned out great

[@williamtaft8626]

You make it look so incredibly easy.

[@IvanGarcia-ri7bt]

I strung my pocket with your video and it came out awesome. Thanks.

[@tradtionallax]

best pocket tutorial on youtube by far

[@stlstringing1110]

This helped me a lot. Took 3 hours but turned out great

[@NYzFyNesT96]

I strung a Nike Dunk today that I just got today, I strung it traditional, the bottom holes were small, but the leathers at the bottom are cut to a point kinda like a box cutter razor is so it'll fit threw the hole and you just pull it through after you get it started

[@RideStowe4Life]

Hey Brah I love teaching myself how to string the heads like this but my only questions are what are the lengths of all the strings? How long are the Side Walls? How long are the other ones? Do leathers come in one size? Inbox me the answer to this comment. Thanx

[@tradtionallax]

this is an awesome vid, have you ever thought of stringing your pitas with two nylons in the middle rather than two leathers? i play girls lax and used this vid to string some of my sticks, but i used nylons in some of them aswell. Found it turned out pretty sweet.

[@skatingsincethursday]

best tutorial for the pita pocket on youtube

[@LaxGirlsWorld]

Great tutorial. Thinking of doing a pita on my old head

[@LacrosseMeetsMetal]

Weston- on a scale from 1-10, how hard would this be to a beginning stringer? ive strung only like 3 heads before, but ive always wanted to make a pita.

[@brandoncossaro9413]

Can u plz do a tutorial for the weave thing at the bottom of most trads it looks so sick

[@ImVeryBoredToday]

Thanks man this really helped me stringing mine... Im now going to charge kids on my team because im the only person on my team who knows how to do this:D so thanks again and you now have 1 more subscriber

[@stinkycatz]

ur caboki is looking good these days . really like the natural new look though.

[@sh0elacebelt]

your the best stringer along with east coast dyes

[@HockeyBruins13]

This is what i just used and i had the perfect amount! 4 Leathers 1 64" piece of nylon (for the middle one) 2 55" pieces of nylon (for the one that connects middle to side leathers) 2 45" pieces of nylon (for the leathers to the sidewall) 2 Sidewall strings And whatever number of shooting strings you like

[@laxmonkey377]

great video Wes, but are there any other good tutorials out there?

[@Boxcarcrzy12]

@Bacondrop You take a shorter length of string and put it through the bottom sidewall holes (not bottom string) then pull it through the other bottom sidewall hole and tie a know. Now instead of pulling the leathers through the holes, you just tie them to this string.. Did that help at all?

[@DyTr3Z]

How do you treat the leather straps? I have heard that people like stretch them and put them in hot water

[@ItsExcite]

I did this and it came out good but my friend told me not to do the twirls in the middle all the way down, and it leaves just leather for a really good pocket, only problem might be that it gets to wide and the ball falls out but it never ever really happens at all.

[@CiukBro24]

Is it easier to string a Pita Pocket when the head is on a shaft, or vice versa?

[@Whatabaws117]

lol did you take cinematography in school? You're pretty slick with your editing! good stuff

[@jake1107williamson]

great tutorial, u should make a video of how to do the rock it pocket

[@jakobbercher3568]

hey i know you are probably gonna ignore this but still: 1. The video is really good, thx. 2. i ordered strings from you and 3 out of 5 crosslaces were wayyy to short. really hope you are gonna fix that for future orders.

[@Th3untitl3don3]

What are the lengths of the strings? I ordered the custom traditional kit from jimalax and i want to do this. It looks nice and this video should help me out a lot. But i don't wanna get halfway through this and figure out i dont have enough string haha.

[@laxmosta148]

This is sort of a stupid question but do you burn the tips of your leathers?

[@MrMuZzL3Pr3sS]

How many side wall loops do you need? I want to string this on my proton plus but it only has 7 Side wall holes and I'm worried it won't work. Thanks.

[@hdjedi1913]

I love it. How can i order a kit? What head would you suggest if i were to string a pita on a longpole (LSM)

[@HrdManEv]

you make it look so easy,i tried and lost patience, lol great tutorial

[@fraztown]

can you explain why you are allowed to have different colors on a traditional but youre not allowed to have two tone mesh?

[@SoupCanStooge]

You dont have the kit on your website. And are they just crosslaces?

[@SnwB04rder]

Thanks for the awesome tutorial. Liked faved subbed. Btw where can i get ur stringing kit for pita pocket?

[@pies281]

Is it possible to do this with 3twists going down both the mid and sides instead of only 1 going down the mid?

[@LacrosseMeetsMetal]

Hey Weston, I'm making my own custom trad pocket and wanted to know if 20yds of crosslace seems like enough?

[@StevieGoalie28]

would it be possible to do a pita pocket for a goalie stick, if it could you do a video on it!

[@CaptianCookies123]

do u think the pita pocket is easier or harder than the normal traditional

[@natetimmons9252]

can you tell me the lengths your strings need to be? i ordered my kit from jimalax and then saw that yours come with the lengths. thanks

[@JoshuaMcClendon]

This was actually a great video. the sneezes made me laugh. DEFINITELY skipped a lot of important stuff though, so maybe too muhc editing. But we know that we can't have a bunch of 3 hour long stringing videos on youtube so you have to cut out some stuff. good job man.

[@collinpaquin6331]

Thank you this helped SOO much i honestly learned so much from this video i really Appreciate it, if you learn how to this it seems like kobras and heats are way easier, thank you weston!

[@craytonsackman9181]

how do i buy a pita pocket kit from you? (best tutorial ever!)

[@mklinger23]

are you sure all the strings are long enough from jimalax? i want get mine from jimalax but im just not sure the strings and thing are long enough. Please get back to me. Thanks bro!

[@skagitlaxman7736]

Do you have to use crosslace for the twists and stuff or can you use sidewall?

[@MephamMiddie]

would be able to give me or everyone else the correct measures of the strings? thank you for your time.

[@Mailbox504]

How much would it cost if I sent you my head and you strung a pita pocket with a high pocket?

[@MrJackkrs]

would it matter if I used top string for the last step? or would that mess up the pocket?

[@NYStrings]

Should you make the outer layers tighter or looser?

[@MDAfro]

does this stick does the heat pocket on ur website have any whip? and does it shoot well? cause i was thinking about get it in random neon

[@trognor123]

why do you have the blue lace on the sidewall? cant you rap the black lace around the holes in the sidewal?

[@Sully4672]

How much do you want for the pocket that you made?? I could never do that in 20 minutes!!!

[@TheCrypticdesigns]

Finally! and your sneezes scared the shit out of me

[@TATobin99]

Do you string rocket pockets also? I can't figure out how to string one. Can you do it?

[@tradtionallax]

keep the top really tight and the outer leather tight too when you string. pull the inner two out a bit and string around it. that'll get u the best channel and hold

[@Younlax]

Great video can't wait to try, and those colors are epic

[@gregorychildress4437]

do the leathers and crosslace have to be the same color to be legal

[@good_kid]

i had two different colored leathers from two different places and my Pita turned out just fine.

[@bignick703]

@WesternFromColorado if you lick your fingers before you pinch off the burnt part it wont hurt or dry up

[@brianX626]

How many feet does it take to fully string it?

[@Cman68090]

Do you string the middle of the pita pocket with all the twists with crosse lace

[@SENIORlaxbro99]

should you put an extra twist where you want the pocket?

[@tomtomthepieguy]

does a jimalax traditional mesh kit have everything that i need to do this in it? or does this need special materials?

[@redskull7d7]

do you have to use cross lace for the center parts or can you use sidewall string?

[@erikgspencer]

ive strung it 4 times and the only way i can get it to stop hitting the scoop is putting a nylon rite at the top and after like 10 throws and cathches the nylon losends and i have to tighten it again. can you tell me how to get it to stop hitting the scoop

[@jiminator98]

hey im interested in getting one of your kitsand went to your jimalax website. i saw the traditional leather stringing kit and was wondering if that would work for making a legit pita pocket. PLEASE RESPOND

[@Laxteen10]

Yes finally a good tutorial for a pita pocket

[@guccimax22]

Could you please tell me what the lengths of all the strings needed are?

[@tbonedls3]

Wes what a great tutorial, one way i have learn is a great trick to not burn your fingers. Lick them really well before you shape the end of the shooters, it shapes the end and the spit cools it down, i helps a lot, but make sure they are preety wet. Miht sound weird but it works great

[@MRTman1100]

you have a website right,if you got paid like 30 dollars would you make the cobra pocket

[@griffinjasin]

my coach gave me the weirdest challenge but do you think its possiable for a goalie pita

[@rileygirard1375]

Heey guys! Im wondering when he uses crosslace and sidewall sting. I think that the blue is sidewall and the white and blake is crosslace. Im from canada and up here you dont she

[@TheCnettles11]

haha great vid! but i just didnt catch the ending of the white crosslace?

[@Laxteen10]

Which string is the string that goes in the middle I got mine from jimilax and I got a huge piece of string but I don't know like what to do with it

[@bornonice87]

@LacrosseMeetsMetal If you have never strung trad. before then its about a 3-4, but it takes patience. Don't rush yourself and be very picky about everything

[@badwill11]

Your videos are really helpful! Thanks!

[@dpaul1997]

Hey guys, trying to see how much of this i can scrap and maybe not have to buy new string. so materials needed: 4x (6ish foot crosslace) 1x (3ish foot crosslace) 4 leathers 2 sidewalls 2 shooters that it?

[@sirstringjobs86]

great tutorial man helped me out a ton

[@blakelund9644]

half way done with mine and its lookin sexy af not sure if it will hold up seems slightly sloppy is that ok?

[@Cooljimmy55]

Do the string kits come with instructions

[@LacrosseStringer123]

what kind of heads could people string using the pita pocket method

[@MiniMrJackass]

hey so where should i go to learn more about this type of stringing, i can do the mesh shit fine, i just dont understand how to add/take away whip and shit like that.

[@demofrommassachusetts8403]

hey quick question i strung a pita inside my proton power but for some reason the left side of the pita is looser than the right side how can i fix this?

[@My22yearaccount]

i strung my pita pocket, it throws beautifully. But when i try to shoot it gets stuck at the top and goes straight down. Also i can make the pocket anywhere on the stick (even right under the top of the head) so i was sondering what could be causing this?

[@zackpowers1026]

Can you use any head or does it have to be a certain head

[@ugacp]

the ball seems to hit the lip every time I throw, no matter how many shooters I have in it( i have 6). Is there any way to fix this?

[@SuperLaser007]

Can you do it if you only have 2 holes on the bottom, like on a proton power?

[@fluffyWILLIS47x]

what kind of pocket would be good for a middie that shoots a lot?

[@GBWySpress]

PLEASE HELP FAST! I get my pita pocket stuff tomorrow and i need to know where you use sidewall apposed to crosslace (middle, 2nd layer, 3rd layer, and sidwall) please help!

[@KnifenNoobz]

can i buy that on like ebay or something because thats awesome

[@Thatguy5806]

would you recomend using this type of pocket for box?

[@1996BRANDEN]

@WestonFromColorado I want to order a Pita Pocket Kit from you can you send me some info. And can you recommend some heads that would be good for this stringing?

[@McGingelax]

how much string do you need besides the leathers and outer sidewall?

[@RiFrancis]

if i make my center twist looser, will it come out more stanwick like?

[@lax7179]

If I have 1 leather from jimalax Do I have to get the other 3 from jimalax Or does it matter

[@steak7654321]

would this work with the proton U unpinched, or do i have to pinch it first. it is pretty wide

[@LalalalaLaFontaine]

there was a tent selling minis with pitas at my last tournament. they were sold out before i could buy one tho :(
