Top Competitors
Designed specifically for face-offs, the StringKing Mark 2F prioritizes control and ground ball dominance over the more versatile options like the Weapon X and Nike CEO 2. While the Weapon X and CEO 2 cater to various offensive midfield positions, the Mark 2F's stiffer construction and angled scoop excel at securing ground balls and winning face-offs. The Mark 2F's shorter throat also allows for increased leverage and better control during face-off battles. However, this specialization comes at the cost of versatility, as the Mark 2F's stiff pocket and design may not be ideal for other playing styles that require a wider range of motion and pocket flexibility.

| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| Great faceoff head. Perfect bend (and return to shape), which is a bonus for those who prefer plunges and reverse clamps. |
| Top-tier FO head, and maintains shape well. Groundball hoover. |
| Easier to control my exit with the flex point. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| Less stiff than other FO heads, which can cost you. |
| Shape retention is so good (really) that passing post-exit can be a challenge because head is returning to original shape. |
| Breaks too easily, imo. |
This is the face-off specialist of the Mark 2 family. This head is designed for players wanting the best control and durability. The Mark 2F has a shorter throat to make clamping faster and create a quicker reaction time. StringKing’s new material blends stiffness and flex. The Mark 2F also comes in a stiff version (15% stiffer). The shape retention is significantly better.
