The StringKing Mark 2F lacrosse face-off head is the latest in a series of elite level heads specifically designed for two main advantages - increased ball control area on the clamp and a kinder scoop angle for handling ground balls. The first thing you will notice on the StringKing 2F is the elongated throat. StringKing pulled the narrow channel of the throat shape up as high as possible to create the maximum channel and pocket surface area for controlling the ball. As all good FOGOs are aware, its not just the battle for the quick clamp, its the battle for real estate along the line that counts too. As players push up into the scoop of an opponents scoop with their glove, the head of the stick slides a bit down the line.
The extra length in the throat adds a big advantage as the ball gets caught up in that long channel rather than up towards the opponents scoop. In the old days, FOGOs use to bake their heads and then reform them to match these longer throat designs. Stringking has now taken that concept and worked it in with a massive number of string holes, that offer guys who know how to string even greater advantage depending on where and how they secure the knots. The scoop has a steeper angle which also channels the ball into the sweet spot quicker.

The East Coast Dyes Weapon X lacrosse head will DOMINATE at the X. Our Pro's think that the Weapon X will win the draw, get the ground ball and be a threat on offense. The Weapon X faceoff head features a new material called FlexForm which was designed from the ground up with all-time faceoff legend, Greg "Beast" Gurenlian, to allow you to do it all. From the tougher plastic, to the asymmetrical strut design and optimized flex points, the Weapon X was engineered to wrap perfectly around the ball. It features a short throat allowing your hands to be closer to the ball for more leverage, power, and control as well as a smooth, round scoop to make groundballs in traffic a breeze. Our Pro's are impressed with how the Weapon X snaps back into place after the faceoff and legitmately becomes a field playing head. The FlexForm material is a super material that makes this lacrosse head keep its shape. This lacrosse head literally wraps around the ball because of the Precise Flex Points. The shorter throat simply gives you more leverage, which means more wins.
