![]() ![]() ![]() It also has Innerlock technology that makes stringing on the inside rail easier and more secure. Though it only has an average amount of stringing holes, they’re placed well and you shouldn’t have any trouble getting your ideal pocket in it. It has a narrow pinch on the bottom half of the head and gradually opens up towards the scoop. The Stallion 1K has a great face shape as well. It still has STX’s Speed Scoop which is loved by many players because it’s great for ground balls but also has a slight lip the covers the top string holes so they don’t interfere when you’re scooping. In addition, compared to the Stallion 900, the 1K is stiffer and has better shape retention thanks to its improved EnduraForm plastic. Unlike the older STX Stallion Omega, the 900 is much less prone to breaking and is much lighter-something that is especially noticeable when we tested shooting with the two heads. The brand new STX Stallion 1K ties the Tactik 3.0 as the best lacrosse head for middies in our opinion. Overall, the Tactik 3.0 is a great choice for midfielders and I think you’ll be very happy with this head from Maverik if it’s what you decide to go with. It is tighter towards the throat but opens up towards the midpoint of the head like the old version did. The Tactik 3.0’s face shape is more pinched than the Tactik 2.0’s face shape. Also, it has a great scoop that makes ground balls a breeze. It has a great stiffness-to-weight ratio which makes it great for both offense and defense. The third version of the Tactik has a level 3 bottom rail that makes it great for a mid/low to mid/high pocket-something that many middies prefer. The 3.0 comes with Maverik’s CoreControl technology that distributes the weight to the most important parts of the head, giving you more control, increasing stiffness, and decreasing weight. The Tactik 3.0 is an upgrade on what was previously rated our top-rated midielder head in the Tactik 2.0. The Tacktik 3.0 is light, very stiff, and has a ton of stringing holes that allow you to customize your pocket to your preferences. It’s one of (if not the) best all-around midfielder heads currently available. The Maverik Tactik 3.0 comes in as tied for first in our list of the best heads for middies-and for good reason. It is great for picking up ground balls at all angles and slightly hangs over the top string holes, making sure that your strings don’t interfere with scooping. The last feature I’d like to touch on is the Speed Scoop that STX used on this head. This makes it great for carrying the ball like so many attackmen do-whether that be dodging from X, coming in from the wing, or going down the alley from up top. ![]() It has a narrow pinch until about halfway up the head then starts flaring out towards the scoop which is still pretty narrow compared to other heads. ![]() With that being said, it’s not quite as stiff as some of the bulkier (and heavier) attack heads such as the ECD Rebel Offense.Īnother great thing about the Surgeon 900 is that it has a narrow face shape throughout the head. It is, however, surprisingly stiff for how light it is-mostly due to STX’s EnduraForm plastic which is one of the best on the market. It is one of the lightest lacrosse heads ever created, weighing in at only 4.4 oz. The STX Surgeon 900 checks in next on our list of the best lacrosse heads thanks to its light weight, narrow face shape, and stiff plastic. If you are looking to save some money, the Maverik Optik 2.0 is still one of the best attack heads currently available. It has a great face shape, is stiff, holds its shape well, and the shortened throat gives an advantage for one-handed cradling. Overall, this is an amazing head for attackmen. If you prefer a mid-to-high pocket, however, you may be better off going with an alternative. With a low offset, the Maverik Optik 3.0 is great for low or mid-to-low pockets. The increased number of stringing holes, along with Maverik’s Tension Lock system, make this head super easy to string. The Optik 3.0 has a tight pinch throughout most of the head, giving you more control when dodging and accuracy when shooting and passing. Just recently released in June 2021, the Optik 3.0 is the newest elite attack head in Maverik’s popular Optik line.Ĭompared to the Optik 2.0-which was previously our highest-rated attack head-the 3.0 has a shorter throat that gives you more control when one-handed cradling, more sidewall holes (20 on each side), and is a bit stiffer.
