its a gait aftershock-the non-offset version of the shockwave

They are straight, and non-offset. I believe they have an uneven number of stringing holes, making it quite a pain to get a correct stringing.

some face off guys like non offset heads to get their hands closer ot the ball at a face off

oh ok...
so are the on set ones hard to string?

its not the non-offset quality that makes it hard to string
the amount of offset has nothing to do with stringing

Haha, there was another thread with that pic made today. Different topic though, they were looking at his grip.

Appears not to be offset, therefore an Aftershock. They're not that tough to string, a couple kids had me string their's for them in HS. Look at the picture RGlax posted; you can use either the outside or inside sets of holes (or both I suppose, but I imagine that would get tricky). Strung both mesh and traditional in them without much trouble.

The extra hole is to tie off the cross lace for a trad pocket. If you're using mesh just ignore it and string the pocket like you would any other head.

oh ok...
so are the on set ones hard to string?

It would be pretty hard to do anything with an onset stick.
