Know before you buy
No, this head is specifically engineered for defensemen and long stick midfielders. Its design prioritizes stiffness and durability for checking and ground ball recovery rather than the quick release or offensive-focused geometry found in attack heads.
The re-engineered 4-strut design significantly increases the head's overall stiffness. This rigidity is crucial for defensive players, as it ensures the head maintains its shape during heavy stick checks and physical contact.
Not at all. While the face shape is tighter to improve ball retention and control, it is paired with a specialized 'Ground Control Scoop.' This geometry is specifically designed to help you scoop up ground balls quickly and efficiently, even in tight spaces.
Control Core technology is integrated into the throat of the head to provide extra stability. This helps keep the head secure on the shaft and prevents wobbling, which is particularly helpful when you are carrying the ball upfield during clears.
Despite being built for high-impact defensive play, the Duratough material is designed to balance strength and weight. It offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, so you get the durability required for elite-level play without adding unnecessary bulk to your stick.
