Question I have been looking to purchase a new head and currently use the old Proton. I play middie and take face offs periodically but need a new head with great ground ball efficiency for grass and turf as well as ball control. for catching and passing. I'm reading review after review but cannot make my mind up between the Evo Pro, Proton Power, Brine Clutch, or any other you feel would provide the best overall performance. This head will go on a new Swizzle Scandium shaft.
Answer Ryan,
Let me first apologize for such a delayed response. Once you get to the top of the line heads like those which have been mentioned in your question it is really just a matter of preference. I would go with the Brine Clutch as I believe it is the best overall head. Its design makes ground balls very easy on any surface and its tight pinch gives great control on passes and shots. The pinch also creates increased ball retention.
However, one huge factor on how a stick preforms is the stringing it has. One big suggestion I have is to buy the stick unstrung and have it custom strung. Factory stringing is terrible and can really affect your play. I would send the stick to be custom strung by the professionals at ZB Lacrosse Company. You can visit their website at www.zblax.com to see all the different types of pockets they offer (click on the stringing styles/dyes tab). They also offer dyes if you want to customize your stick further. Their customer service, pocket quality, and prices are unmatched anywhere else on the market. Before purchasing your head, you may want to email them at zblaxcompany@gmail.com as they do sell select heads and may have a Clutch in stock.
Hope this helps and feel free to ask if you have any further questions. Sorry again for the delayed response.
