Gait Apex 2

While it is engineered specifically for the demands of the midfield—balancing transition play and shooting—it can certainly be used by attackmen who prefer a similar feel. However, defenders or long-stick midfielders may find the head shape and pocket setup less suited to their specific defensive needs.

The curved offset design lowers the ball position in the head, which creates a more direct channel for the ball to travel as you release. This helps you get the ball out of the stick faster during quick passes or shots, which is critical when you are dodging under pressure.

The Air Scoop Design is engineered to reduce drag and weight at the top of the head. This makes it easier to get under the ball during ground ball pickups, allowing for a smoother, faster transition from the turf to your stick.

Flex Mesh is designed to provide consistent ball hold right out of the box, so the break-in period is significantly shorter than traditional hard mesh. You should be able to get a reliable pocket feel almost immediately, though it will settle in slightly after a few sessions.

Double Sidewall Technology adds structural integrity to the head, which prevents it from warping or flexing excessively when you are cradling or taking checks. This stiffness ensures that the pocket maintains its shape, giving you more consistent control and accuracy.
