STX Aria Pro X

While this stick is engineered specifically for elite draw specialists, its specialized pocket and scoop design are optimized for the unique mechanics of the faceoff. If you play midfield or attack, you might find the specialized draw shoulders and pocket geometry less versatile than a standard offensive head.

Yes, the Aria Pro X comes fully strung with a mesh pocket. It is designed to be game-ready immediately, though you may want to spend some time breaking in the mesh to suit your specific pocket depth preference.

Speed Scoop technology is designed to reduce friction when the head makes contact with the ground. This allows you to get under the ball faster during ground ball scrums, which is critical for securing possession immediately after a draw.

The Dual Grip Zones provide tactile feedback, helping you maintain consistent hand placement during the draw. This consistency is key for generating maximum leverage and speed when you are battling for the ball.

The Aria Pro X is built for advanced players who already have a solid grasp of faceoff mechanics. While a beginner could use it, the specialized features are designed to enhance the performance of someone who already has a refined technique.

The minimal molded end cap is designed to reduce bulk at the bottom of the shaft. This allows for a more comfortable, secure grip and better maneuverability, which is essential when you are trying to manipulate the stick quickly in tight quarters.
