Gait Faceoff Stiff

This head is engineered specifically for the faceoff position, featuring a rigid construction and specialized geometry that may not perform optimally for offensive or defensive play. If you play a hybrid role, you might find the stiffness and unique handle attachment better suited for a dedicated faceoff specialist.

The inside handle attachment shifts your hand position closer to the ball. This reduces the distance between your hand and the point of contact, which can help improve your reaction time and leverage during the initial draw.

The Gait Faceoff Stiff is sold as an unstrung head. It includes a complete assembly kit for easy setup, but you will need to purchase mesh and strings separately to customize the pocket to your preference.

Cold water quenching is a manufacturing technique used to enhance the durability and structural integrity of the plastic. It helps the head withstand high-impact gameplay and ensures it consistently returns to its original shape after being flexed during a faceoff.

The Gait Faceoff Stiff is designed with universal legality in mind. However, because lacrosse rules can vary by league and level of play, you should always double-check your specific league's current equipment regulations before purchasing.

The scoop is specifically shaped to create a smoother, more efficient angle when approaching the ball on the ground. This design allows you to get under the ball quickly and cleanly, minimizing the need to adjust your stick angle during recovery.
