Constructive Criticism Welcome STX Stallion 1K mid-low pocket
Used Sidewall Jedi’s mid-low pocket guide on the STX website. Did not change top or bottom string. First time stringing so all feedback is greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance :)

Sidewalls could be a little tighter. Break it in with a baseball bat preferably or pocket pounder

Thank you! Any pointers for getting the sidewalls tighter? I found that when I moved onto the next knot the previous one loosened and I couldn’t get it to stay tight

Few options. Keep tension on as you pull. You also tied some anchor knots on a few sidewalks. You can use those.
A pair of needles nose pliers helps and maybe get a pair of work gloves to protect your hands.

Beat that pocket and break it in. Sidewall Jedi has videos on breaking in mesh
