Top Competitors
The Surgeon 900 prioritizes a balance of power and control, featuring a medium-depth pocket and a traditional face shape. This versatility allows for strong shots, accurate passing, and good ground ball pick-up. The ECD Rebel Offense leans towards a slightly shallower pocket and a pinched face shape, offering a sweet spot for powerful throws while maintaining good handling and control. Conversely, the STX Hyper Power prioritizes pure power with its stiffest pocket and a wider face shape, catering to players who crave maximum power in their shots and hold for aggressive dodges.
Progression of the STX Surgeon 900
The Surgeon lacrosse head series features two models: the Surgeon 900 and the Surgeon 1K. Here's a breakdown of their progression:
- Lightweight design.
- Speed Scoop for easier groundballs, regardless of the angle of attack.
- Narrow channel for increased hold.
- Enhanced EnduraForm 2 mesh is designed to be more durable and maintain pocket shape longer.
- Wider sweet spot with a redesigned scoop and optimized stiffness.
- Lighter design due to strategic material removal.
| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| Go-to head that offers improved durability vs. the 700. |
| Almost too light (jk). Great head that works well with low-to-mid pockets, and the mint marble limited edition is sick. |
| Bottom rail slits make stringing simpler. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| Doesn't play well with high pockets. |
| Great head, but take a pass if you play attack or see yourself as a step-down shooter. |
| Some warping after extended use. |
The Sturgeon 900 is the lightest head STX has ever made. Designed for goal scorers at the attack position, this head is super light and has insane control. With STX’s Enduraform plastic, the head has increased durability. It has a new speed scoop to make ground balls easy and a new sidewall design to make stringing much easier. This head would be the go-to for players like Connor DeSimone.
