# StringKing Mark 2F Lacrosse Heads

The StringKing Mark 2F Lacrosse Head is a weapon for face-off specialists, meticulously crafted for domination at the X. Its selling points are a hybrid plastic construction, an angled scoop, and a shortened throat, which grants leverage for quicker reactions. Moreover, the high flare and straighter sidewall enhances ball control, which is crucial for winning the battle and securing possession.

The Mark 2F marks a pivotal moment in StringKing's history. Founded by two former college lacrosse players in Medfield, Mass., they initially focused on high-performance mesh, becoming synonymous with innovative stringing solutions. However, the release of the Mark 2F marked an ambitious foray into the competitive head market, explicitly targeting the face-off position. Its immediate success, embraced by elite face-off athletes, solidified StringKing's reputation as a significant player across the entire lacrosse equipment landscape.


### **Perfect head for:** face-offs 


### Key Features Include



* Hybrid plastic for the perfect balance of flex and stiffness 
* Shortened Throat for more leverage
* Higher flare and straighter sidewall for more control 
* Angled scoop for attacking a loose ball from any angle 
* Locking bolt installation
* Self-tapping screw installation


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [ECD Weapon X](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/east-coast-dyes/weapon-x/l10504) and the [Nike CEO 2](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/nike/ceo-2-2/l11445) 


 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.


### Progression:

The StringKing Mark 2F lacrosse head is part of the Mark 2 series, which also includes:

### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* Love this head. Got back into coaching and its bend (and return to shape) is way better than the heads I had back when I was playing in the early 2010s. Makes it easy when I’m working with guys on plungers and reverse clamps.
* Great faceoff head. Good flex and maintains its shape well. Scoop hoovers up ground balls.
* This head has an awesome flex point that lets me control my exits.

CONS



* The first time I played with it, the head snapped the first faceoff. The second head warped quickly and cracked again in 2 spots.
* Much more suitable for offensive players, not a good head for defensive use. 


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

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.

### Top Competitor Comparisons: [STX Stallion 1K](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/stallion-1k/l316969) and the [Maverik Kinetik 2.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/maverik/kinetik-2-0/l164266) 

While all aiming to equip well-rounded midfielders, the StringKing Mark 2V, Maverik Tactik 3.0, and STX Stallion 1K each cater to slightly different styles. The StringKing Mark 2V boasts exceptional versatility, offering a mid-pocket that balances powerful shots with controlled passing. Its stiff construction enhances ground ball control and allows for strong holds on the ball during powerful throws. The Maverik Tactik 3.0 prioritizes a blend of power and control through its mid-pocket design and diverse stringing options. It features a slightly less aggressive scoop compared to the Mark 2V, potentially impacting ground ball collection in contested situations. The STX Stallion 1K leans towards a more offensive-focused approach with its aggressive mid-high pocket designed to maximize power in shots. While it excels in generating raw power, it might offer less control on finesse plays compared to the Mark 2V and Tactik 3.0.


### Progression:

The StringKing Mark 2V lacrosse head is part of the Mark 2 series, which also includes:

[Mark 2A](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2a/l758): Built for attack

### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* This head has stood up to extensive play.
* With 29 holes, the stringing possibilities are endless. If you're a stringer, it truly allows you to hone in on what you seek to get out of the head.
* I am a 2-way middie, and this head has held up for a whole season and summer ball. Has not warped at all and is still very stiff.

CONS



* Spend some time ensuring front and back holes line up or you're in for a headache getting a good lock.
* Not a big fan of the of the proprietary string king head screw.


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

The Mark 2V is perfect for the all-around player, making it extremely versatile on the feild. It has a classic face shape, similar to the Mark 1, for increased ball control. It’s super balanced due to the blend of stiffness and weight of the head.

The StringKing Mark 2A carves a space in the offensive arena alongside established contenders like the Maverik Optik 3.0 and STX Surgeon 900, each offering distinct advantages for attackers. The Maverik Optik 3.0 champions customizability with its interchangeable faceplate technology, allowing players to tailor the pocket to their preferences.

The StringKing Mark 2A stands out for its stiff construction and focus on power, making it a great choice for offensive players who value powerful shots and hard throws. Its mid-high pocket facilitates a good balance between power and control, allowing for quick releases while maintaining some feel for finesse plays.

* Light and handles like a beast. Love this head. 
* Easy to string and dye. My son loves the Mark 2A and has used it for a year now with no issues. 
* Top attack head. I’d recommend any age player could use this head. 

CONS



* If you like a tight channel that controls the ball for you, then you'll be frustrated by String King.
* Too many holes. It became too complicated for me to string
* Stringing requires a lot of trial and error. Look up online how to string this head. 


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

This is StringKing’s lightest head yet, making it a good choice for the quick and slick attackmen or the elite offensive player looking for the best control and feel. The head has a narrow face for quick and accurate shots and passes.

Stallion 1K

# STX Stallion 1K Head

The STX Stallion 1K Lacrosse Head is at the forefront of the brand's elite midfield lineup. Building on the success of the original Stallion, designed by NCAA champion Kyle Harrison, the 1K boasts several improvements for the modern game. EnduraForm™ material enhances durability and stiffness, while the Speed Scoop™ facilitates easier ground ball pickups from any angle. The head also features a deeper legal offset, which is said to improve ball feel and retention.

The Stallion 1K represents the latest chapter in a long lineage of successful midfield heads from STX. It maintains the core values of versatility and performance that established the Stallion's reputation while incorporating modern materials and design elements to cater to the demands of today's elite midfielders. 


 **Perfect head for:** elite midfielders 


### Key Features Include



* EnduraForm™ - a proprietary material for improved toughness
* Speed Scoop™ for easier groundballs, regardless of the angle of attack
* Deepest legal offset increases ball feel and retention


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [String King Mark 2V](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2v/l760) and the [ECD Mirage 2.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/east-coast-dyes/mirage-2-0/l164123)

The STX Stallion 1K, known for its aggressive pocket and power-focused design, faces competition from the StringKing Mark 2V and ECD Mirage 2.0 in the offensive midfield space. The StringKing Mark 2V boasts a mid-pocket that offers a balance between shooting power and controlled passing, making it a versatile option for offensive plays. Additionally, its stiff construction allows for a strong hold on the ball during powerful shots. The ECD Mirage 2.0, 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, ideal for players who value precise passing and pocket feel. Compared to these, the STX Stallion 1K stands out with its aggressive mid-high pocket designed for maximizing power in shots. Its wider face shape also facilitates strong cradling, but it might offer less control on finesse plays compared to the Mark 2V or Mirage 2.0.


### Progression:

The STX Stallion Lacrosse Head has seen several iterations over the years, each aiming to improve upon the previous model in terms of performance and features.



* Original STX Stallion: 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. 


* [STX Stallion 500](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/stallion-u-500/color-multi/l364715): 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. 


* [STX Stallion 700](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/stallion-700/l723): 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. 


* STX Stallion 750: This model introduced C-Channel technology for increased strength and stability. It also offered a wider variety of stringing options for greater pocket customization. 


* STX Stallion 800: 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. 


* [STX Stallion 900](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/stx/stallion-900/l165638): 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.

 
* [STX Stallion 1K](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/stallion-1k/l316969): 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. 




### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* This head was meant to be my backup, but now I use it as my starter. I highly recommend it for offensive players, especially attackmen. It's perfect!
* Good control up close or running from X, but compared to Kinetik 3, the ball sails high/wide from >20ft out. Tough for sweeping alley attacks.
* Throws great and I have great control with the ball.

CONS



* It does feel a bit stiffer in the top section...definitely stiffer than the 900
* Compared to other competitor heads, the Stallion 1K offers fewer sidewall stringing holes.
* I understand this is a high-end midfield head, but it’s a bit pricey compared to what else is out there. 


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

The Stallion 1K is the top midfielder head for sure. It's based on the original Stallion design that pro player Kyle Harrison used and designed for that two-way midfielder. The 1K has an improved stiffness, shape retention, and an updated scoop. PLL rookie, Nick Nakeie Montgomery, who ranked 28th in Duke history in career points, also uses this head. I like this head because it can be used both on the offensive side of midfield and the defensive side. It weighs in at about 4.7 oz, making it lighter than the current ECD DNA 2.0, StringKing Mark 2V, and Mark 2T.

### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [ECD Rebel Offense](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/east-coast-dyes/rebel/l8819) and the [STX Hyper Power](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/hyper-power/l168596)

In the realm of elite attack lacrosse heads, the STX Surgeon 900 finds itself battling for supremacy with the ECD Rebel Offense and STX Hyper Power, each offering unique advantages for offensive mastery. 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:

The Surgeon lacrosse head series features two models: the Surgeon 900 and the Surgeon 1K. Here's a breakdown of their progression:

[Surgeon 900](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/stx/surgeon-900/l65241)



* Lightweight design
* Speed Scoop for easier groundballs, regardless of the angle of attack
* Narrow channel for increased hold

[Surgeon 1K](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/surgeon-1k/l393980) 



* 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 


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* This stood up to wicked abuse. Matched with HERO mesh, this setup was very reliable, with repeatable results every day. By far my go-to head for any situation.
* With a 4.4-ounce head you wouldn’t expect much in terms of strength, but this head passed all expectations. It stands its ground for checks and pokes. 
* I’ve had 3 of these heads. They are long-lasting, even for heavy-handed guys like me, It’s a great option for the midfield position.

CONS



* Although the Surgeon 900 aims for a mid pocket, I found the stock pocket to be shallower than expected.
* Expensive compared to other similar heads out there
* Some warping after extended use


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

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.

Durability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Stringability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hammer 900

# STX Hammer 900 Head

The STX Hammer 900 lacrosse head lives up to its name, offering elite-level defensemen a tool to dominate the field. Built upon the legacy of the Hammer line, it boasts an Enduraform™ plastic construction, which provides unmatched stiffness and shape retention, ensuring checks land true and the head stays pocket-perfect. The redesigned Speed Scoop™ facilitates effortless ground ball pickups, even at awkward angles, while the tighter face profile grants control for pinpoint clears and fast breaks.

The Hammer 900 sits proudly within the rich history of STX, renowned for its dependable lacrosse equipment.

* Redesigned Speed Scoop™ for effortless ground ball pickups, even at awkward angles
* A tighter face profile adds control for pinpoint clears and fast breaks.
* Sidewall profile optimized for player-preferred high pocket placement 


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [Warrior Evo QX2-D](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/evo-qx2-d/l350399) and the [Maverik Tank 2.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/tank-2-0/l164354)

The STX Hammer 900 steps into the defensive arena alongside the Warrior Evo QX2-D and Maverik Tank 2.0, each prioritizing control and power, but catering to slightly different defensive tactics. The Hammer 900 features a mid-pocket depth and a balanced face shape, offering a sweet spot for both powerful checks and ground ball channeling. The Warrior Evo QX2-D boasts a similar pocket depth but with a wider face, excelling at scooping loose balls and winning ground ball battles in open spaces. Conversely, the Maverik Tank 2.0 leans towards a slightly shallower pocket and a pinched face shape, ideal for precise checks and maintaining tight possession control in close defensive situations.


### Progression:

The STX Hammer 900 doesn't have a clear, direct predecessor in the STX Hammer line. While it carries the "Hammer" name, traditionally associated with STX's defensive heads, the 900 is a new design rather than an iterative update on a previous model.


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* Excellent strength and retention due to its EnduraForm material. Its shape creates a smaller space for the ball to move, making it less likely to fly out during a game. 
* Love the quick scoop feature which makes the ball fall right into the pocket with minimal rolling. It is an amazing lacrosse head for elite defensemen.
* Great profile for scooping ground balls, sidewalls allow for a nice mid-high pocket.

CONS



* Feels a bit stiff initially, although it might break in with some use
* Pricey compared to other heads
* Not a ton of reviews or information about this head. Hard to know if it’s held up for other players. 


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 


The Hammer 900 is a top defensive head, crafted for the elite defensemen. Designed with STX’s new Enduraform plastic, this head has great shape retention and is incredibly stiff. This head is just like the Tank 2.0, you can throw some pretty hard checks with it. It has a tighter face compared to most defensive heads which makes control of ground balls much easier.
