| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| Incredible accuracy and whip. |
| Extremely durable -- soaks checks without breaking. Huge improvement on the OG Mirage. |
| Super accurate, improved scoop, and a real stringer's head. (Like everything ECD makes.) |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| Not ideal for players who prefer a more flexible head out of the box. |
| Know it's *billed* as more durable than the 1.0, but mine broke after a month. |
| Nitpicking here, because it's a great head, but prefer a more traditional offset. |
The Mirage 2.0 is built for the elite offensive shooter. With an aggressive offset and a tighter face shape, this head provides power and accuracy to shooting and passing and control for dodgers. This head is made to be stiffer to withstand hotter temperatures so it doesn’t warp, and it has a redesigned scoop that makes ground balls super easy.
