Best STX Lacrosse Heads

The STX Stallion 1K Lacrosse Head is a top choice for elite midfielders. Building on the original design by NCAA champion Kyle Harrison, it features durable EnduraForm™ material and the Speed Scoop™ for easy ground ball pickups. A deeper legal offset enhances ball feel and retention.

“

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.
