Question i am a lsm and i am looking for a head that is stiff and can pick up ground balls easily. i have been using a torque on my long pole for some time now and it has become way to flexible and bendable. what is your advice for a good head that is stiff, good hold and easy ground ball pick up
Answer Stephen,
If money is not an issue, the new Warrior Spyne X is a great choice. It is made with a new tek-9 polymer plastic which makes the head by far the stiffest head on the market, a must for defensemen and lsm. It is has a good offset design and contoured scoop design for easy groundballs.
The amount of hold in stick basically all depends on the stringing. 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 Spyne in stock.
Hope this helps and feel free to ask if you have any further questions.
