Top Competitors
The Kinetik 2.0 boasts a mid-depth pocket and a balanced face shape, providing versatility for strong shots, controlled passing, and good ground ball control. The StringKing Mark 2A, designed specifically for left-handed players, features a similar pocket depth but with a stiffer construction, prioritizing power and hold for aggressive dodges and forceful shots. Conversely, the Warrior Burn XP-O takes a more balanced approach with a slightly shallower pocket and a focus on well-rounded offensive capabilities. While packing enough punch for powerful plays, the Burn XP-O's design allows for a better feel and adaptability in tight offensive situations and passing plays.

| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| Kinetik 2.0 is an awesome upgrade on the OG Kinetik -- same great features, but they fixed the tension lock. |
| Pairs nice with a mid to mid-high pocket. Recurve means this is a shooter's head. |
| A personal favorite. Top-notch head for passers who need that tight face shape. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| Skip if you prefer a lower pocket. |
| Too stiff for attackmen, imo. |
| May be a preference thing, but don't love the hold. |
This head is amazing. It's designed for the elite offensive shooter. The first generation was a top-selling head for 4 years, and the 2.0 brings a lot of updates. It’s very narrow so the head has a ton of ball control, and it has a refined scoop to make picking up balls a lot easier. I like how it strings, it has a ton of sidewall holes so you can make your pocket how you like it. It does just about everything, it shoots well, and the passing is good. It's my favorite offensive head I've ever tried.
