StringKing Mark 2F Stiff

While this head is engineered specifically for the demands of the faceoff X, its stiff construction and control-oriented design make it a viable option for defensive-minded midfielders who value durability and ball retention over offensive versatility.

The shortened throat moves your top hand closer to the ball, which significantly increases your leverage during faceoffs. This design helps you generate more power and speed on the clamp, though it may take a few sessions to adjust your grip if you are used to a standard-length throat.

The stiff material is designed for durability during 50/50 battles, not to add unnecessary weight. It remains lightweight and responsive, and the stringing holes are well-placed to accommodate a variety of pocket depths and channel preferences.

Yes, the angled scoop profile is designed to act like a vacuum, allowing you to get under the ball from lower angles without needing to perfectly center your stick. It is particularly effective when you are battling in a crowd and need a quick, efficient pickup.

The straight sidewall creates a more consistent channel for the ball to sit in, while the high flair helps keep the ball secure in the pocket during possession. This combination reduces ball rattle and gives you more confidence when carrying the ball out of a faceoff.
