Default Need help

I have a problem. I am a really good goalie. so i play goalie. When my team is winning by a lot We have our other goalies play. So i play attack but i am not very good at attack because of my stick. I can play the position very well( i no where to stand and where to pass to and all that), but i cant really do that cuz i play goalie all the time and my regular stick pocket looks like the depth of a womens pocket( its really shallow).. What do i do. I cant do ground balls catch or pass with my stick. Not anything. I am 89% sure its the stick. I no im not the best attackmen but i no i am better than how i am playing lately. The stick is hard mesh so it is hard to get a pocket.. I waas thinking that i could get soft mesh even tho it is really bad. I want to get this because it seems like it can get a deep pocket without playing with it a lot. ( get a deep pocket once and it will stay deep unlike hard) It seems like it would be easier to catch with passing maybe bad but i am sure i could fix that. What do u guys think? I think its my stick not me. Seriously Any other tips on my situation would be well appreciated. If u guys didnt understand wat i was saying ask me for clarification or heres a overview:
1. cant do anything with my stick cuz no pocket.
2. Tell me about soft mesh please.

First, I would talk to someone on your team with a good pocket, and ask them for help in restringing your stick.
I just replaced my soft mesh with hard mesh yesterday. It's pretty easy to get a pocket, but soft mesh is not very durable. My old soft mesh ripped in two places within 2 months of getting it. However, if you're not going to be playing with your attack stick very much, then soft mesh is definitely and option.

I'd go soft mesh if I were you. You don't play with it much and soft mesh, when strung well, has incredible hold, can throw well, and many other benefits. Soft mesh does stretch in the rain, but that shouldn't be too bad. youll just have to adjust your pocket.

soft mesh SUCKS in rain

but dude, getting a pocket in hard mesh isnt that hard. if its really that shallow, then get a pocket pounder or just put a ball in there and put a knife through the head so that the ball stays in the pocket and makes the pocket

i am pretty sure its the string job if your string job looks like a womans head..
go with hard. its mostly preference
but i like hard mesh a lot more. try throwing with your friends' sticks that have soft mesh, then throw with your friends' sticks that have hard mesh
