Top Competitors
The StringKing Mark 2V boasts a mid-pocket that balances shooting power and controlled passing, making it a versatile option for offensive plays. Additionally, its stiff construction allows for a firm hold on the ball during powerful shots. The ECD Mirage 2, on the other hand, leans towards a more traditional pocket design with a wider face shape and deeper pocket. This prioritizes optimal hold and control over the ball, which is ideal for players who value precise passing and pocket feel.
Progression of the 1K
The STX Stallion has seen several iterations over the years, each aiming to improve upon the previous model in terms of performance and features.
This model was the first model of the STX Stallion. The head was designed in collaboration with lacrosse legend Kyle Harrison, this head offered a traditional pocket depth and a wide face shape.
The 500 model introduced a deeper pocket to improve ball control and cradle security. It also features a slightly narrower face shape for better handling and passing.
The Stallion 700 built upon its predecessor by incorporating EnduraForm material for enhanced toughness and consistency. It also features an improved scooping pocket for easier ground ball pickups.
This model introduced C-Channel technology for increased strength and stability. It also offered a wider variety of stringing options for greater pocket customization.
The Stallion 800 saw the introduction of SpeedScoop technology, designed to make ground ball pickups even easier from various angles. It also featured a deeper legal offset for improved ball feel and retention.
The 900 model continued the trend of improved pocket customization with optimized stringing hole placement. It also maintained the EnduraForm material for durability and the SpeedScoop technology for efficient ground ball scooping.
The latest iteration, the Stallion 1K, boasts a redesigned SpeedScoop for even better ground ball acquisition. It also features the Innerlock technology for easier stringing on the inside rail, allowing for more personalized pocket configurations.
| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| This head was meant to be my backup, but now I use it as my starter. I highly recommend it for attackmen. |
| It's less accurate in passing/shooting than what you'll get from Maverik, etc. But it's a great head and incredibly durable—I would recommend it for 2-way mids or LSMs. |
| Offers elite control. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| Definitely stiffer than the Stallion 900...maybe the stiffest head out there. Not for everybody. |
| Fewer stringing options than competitors. |
| I understand this is a high-end midfield head, but it’s a bit pricey compared to what else is out there. |
I like the face shape of the 1K. It's wide enough to allow me to catch the ball easier but still tight enough for me to have plenty of control. I also really enjoy the speed scoop. The only negative thing I can think about for this head is the lack of sidewall holes. Aside from that, I love the head.
