I am in the market for a new head, and living and playing in the UK i am unable to get access to most kit to try it out before i buy.
i am looking at:
Evo Pro
Torque
Clutch
Firstly i am an Attackman so the head would be mainly for Attack (maybe a touch of middy)
and the stick would most likely be strung with a mid pocket in hard mesh (if that makes a difference).
What are the pros + cons of each head?
and what is the difference between the Evo Pro and Evo Pro 2007 Model?
honest reviews and advice is appreciated!

Torque:
Pros:
Great scoop
Super light
stringing holes
Forward cant
Cons:
Doesn't stay stiff long
Last two holes are tiny (at the bottom)
Clutch:
Pros:
stays stiff
great stringing options
awesome pinch
great scoop
Cons:
Bottom holes used to break (fixed it I think)
Evo Pro:
Never used it, but I heard it warps like crazy

I have an evo pro and torque. They are both great heads, but i like the torque a lot more, its lighter and stiffer. The Evo slightly heavier and pinched on me
(mainly bc i played middie and took FO with it). The only real downsides to the torque are that some people find it difficult to string and the scoop takes a little to get used to. Other then that id get a torque.

well, I have all three
The clutch`is my game stick and IMO it's the stiffest out of the three and most durbale over all for me, and I love the pinch. I heard about it breaking though on one of the sidewall holes but it's never happened to me
I used an Evo Pro for a season and liked it alot, it's not the lightest and it warps and becomes illegal like crazy fast, it also is the most pinched out of the three the difference between the 07 and the older one is that the 07 one has spikes on the side, i think it may be less pinched and stiffer but I'm not sure
The torque seems to be a favorite on here. It's the lightest out of the three and is really really sitff for how light it is. It's not as pinched as the evo pro or clutch, but it's not like a proton it's still pretty pinched. I never really liked the torque, but that's just me

Evo Pro:
Pros:
good pinch
nice scoop
can get a nice mid pocket
Cons:
warps
earlier models arrive illegal (i dont think the '07 does)
kinda flexy, but you play attack
not many stringing holes
lips alot

from my experience with an evo pro it has a nice gradual pinch and a well rounded scoop, the head is very durable but it does warp with some time. has a lot of stringing options, not as much as the torque, and it is a bit heavier but if a little more plastic is too heavy for you then this isnt the sport for you then

Only used a Clutch out of those options. The good things about it are the large amount of stringing holes, and the pinch is good. But like its been said, the bottom holes break, as 2 of mine have, and the other 2 (outside) are just hanging in there, but I only need two anyway.

ive heard the clutches break the holes a lot....i want to buy one but, im wondering how are they breaking. By smacking others and they break ? or is it just from catching the ball

On my Clutch a bunch of stringing holes broke. I heard they fixed it though..

ok guys, thanks alot for your opinions and input!
i was edging towards a torque so i think i will stick with going for that now as durability is a big issue :P due to availability of kit!
