Build Your Own | Pocket Adjustment & Tuning

Your pocket doesn't always need a full restoration. Sometimes it just needs the right hands.

Pocket Adjustment & Tuning is for athletes who want their existing mesh dialed in — no new mesh required. Whether your pocket has gone flat, your sidewalls have loosened, or you want a different feel without starting over, we tune it back to performance level.

Every adjustment is hand-crafted with precision and care at ELITE STRING LAB — quality-checked with meticulous attention to detail.

TUNING LEVELS

Quick Tune — Sidewall tightening, shooter adjustment, and minor channel shaping. Best for pockets that are close but just need a reset. The client provides the head with the existing mesh.

Full Tune — Full pocket depth adjustment, sidewall rebuild, shooter removal or replacement, and channel shaping. Best for pockets that have lost their shape or feel completely flat. No new mesh required. Client provides head.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

• Inspection of existing mesh and string condition
• Sidewall adjustment or full rebuild (based on tuning level)
• Pocket depth tuning to your preference
• Shooter removal, replacement, or reconfiguration
• Channel shaping for improved ball release
  
• Before & After photos sent to you upon completion

GOALIE OPTION

Goalie heads are welcome. Select Goalie under Player Type above. Due to the size and complexity of goalie pockets, a $5 upcharge applies.
