STX X-IT Flex

This head is engineered specifically for faceoff specialists. While it is legal for play, its specialized flex profile and shortened throat are optimized for the unique mechanics of the faceoff circle and may not provide the stability or stiffness required for offensive or defensive play.

The Reflex plastic is designed to balance flexibility with recovery, allowing the head to deform during a clamp and snap back into shape quickly. While this makes it highly effective for faceoffs, it is less rigid than traditional heads and may warp faster if used for heavy checking or long-distance passing.

The shortened throat brings your hand closer to the ball, which significantly improves your leverage and reaction time during a draw. This positioning allows for a more direct transfer of power, helping you control the ball more effectively during the initial clamp.

No, the multi-angle flex profile is designed to reduce break-in time significantly. It is engineered to be game-ready much faster than standard heads, so you can focus on your technique rather than prepping the plastic.

The Trap Tech ridges are located along the inner edge to provide extra friction and grip. This helps secure the ball during the exit phase of a faceoff, preventing it from slipping out when you are trying to rake or push the ball to yourself or a teammate.
