STX Duel II

Yes, the STX Duel II is fully compliant with both NCAA and NFHS regulations, making it a safe choice for competitive play at the high school and collegiate levels.

The shortened throat allows you to place your hand closer to the ball, which provides better leverage and control during the initial draw. This design is specifically engineered to help you win the battle at the X by maximizing your hand placement efficiency.

The flex zones are strategically placed to give the head the right amount of 'give' during face-off movements. This flexibility helps the head wrap around the ball more effectively, improving your ability to maintain possession.

Yes, the Speed Scoop geometry is designed to reduce drag and friction when you are scooping the ball off the turf. It allows for a smoother, more efficient transition from the ground to your stick, which is critical in fast-paced play.

While the Duel II is optimized for face-off athletes, it is classified as a midfield head. However, its specific design features—like the shortened throat and flex zones—are tailored for the unique demands of the face-off, so it may feel different than a standard offensive or defensive head if you play other positions.
