Hi J.M. In general, does the location of the sidewall knots determine the whip. For example, would having the knots for the actual pocket closer to to the middle of the head give it more whip and an higher pocket? And would having them generally low produce a lower pocket with less whip?
a lower pocket will normally have less whip. a higher pocket will have more relaxed mesh in the top of the pocket. that means the mesh will move up with the weight of the ball, during the release. this will make the mesh snag the ball on the way out, pushing the ball downward on the release, which means, more 'whip'

If the ball is getting stuck in the pocket when I shoot which one should I use
