Gait Face Off Stiff

This head is specifically engineered for the face-off X. It uses a cold water quenching process to increase stiffness, which helps the head maintain its shape under the intense pressure of a draw, unlike standard heads that might warp or flex too much.

The internal attachment system creates a more secure, stable connection between the head and the shaft. This eliminates the 'wobble' often felt during face-offs, giving you better control and a more direct feel when transitioning the ball.

While it is designed for face-off specialists, the improved scoop profile makes it capable for ground ball work in open play. However, because it is optimized for the specific mechanics of the draw, it may feel different than a traditional offensive head when shooting or passing.

Yes, the narrowed bottom edge is designed to get under the opponent's stick more effectively. This geometry helps you leverage the ball out of the scrum and secure possession more consistently during contested draws.

The cold water quenching process allows the head to achieve high stiffness without adding unnecessary weight. It is built to balance the durability required for face-offs with the agility needed to move the ball quickly after the whistle.
