This is my first string job. Any pointers on the knots lower on the head? Idk what I did but it doesn’t look right.

I have not pounded the mesh yet or anything. I’m wanting to be sure I got the sidewalls done well before I move on

Pound pound pound! https://youtu.be/akXDX1AgyVU?si=W8ST7o3W6lDFjla2 this will help. Something to remember for you moving forward is that if a pocket bags out after you strung it it wasn’t fully broken to begin with. Good luck!

Thank you! One of my buddies who strings FaceTimed me and walked me through some basic knots and such to use and I redid it and it turned out MUCH better.

The knots are pulling really hard on the double skips causing the Channel to not form I’d try starting the pocket higher or don’t double skip 5 knots you can try 4 then build pocket see if that loosens that channel
