What gives? Pockets don't work on hard woods?

Ivan,

As was stated earlier, you need the fine threaded screws when working
with hardwoods.

This video gives a decent intro to the usage of the Kreg jig:

At about the 5:00 mark, he shows the comparison between both screws. He
also shows a good technique for setting the proper drill depth.

One last thing. If the screw enters the stile too close to the end of the
piece it will also split the wood. Use the #7 fine thread pocket hole
screws, not ordinary wood screws.
