People like both. I prefer the Trakker Pro; more adjustable, and "breaks in" faster, since it has two leather thongs. The trigger is more of a "shooter's" pocket.
You can put any pocket in any head, as long as you can find someone to string it for you!

Thank you soso much!!!
I will also vote for trakker pro. My stick has a very nice pocket, plus I can't tell you the last time I had to adjust it other then when it gets wet.

I have friends with the Trigger pocket, they say it takes forever to break in- one has had it since the beginning of the season, and it's not broken in yet to her satisfaction. You can use the Warrior hotpocket, but I prefer the Trakker Pro

The Trigger pocket- if strung by someone experienced & capable- can give a better hold on the ball. Substituting leathers for the side runner strings can also help.
But, it does take longer to break in, so maybe try it over the summer, but probably go Trakker Pro/Hot Pocket/Snap Pocket (Harrow's version) for now.

I would definitely vote for the Trakker Pro. I have the Trigger now, but I used to have the Trakker Pro pocket and liked it much more. I personally don't like how the Trigger doesn't really have shooting strings.

former Northwestern player who is a local hs coach swears by the Intuition strung with Trakker Pro...I am going to try it just see how it works.....

I think the trigger pocket is awful! The people I know who have it STILL haven't broken it in. It also doesn't have shooting strings, which I find annoying. Go with traditional or trakker pro (or equivalent: warrior hot pocket, harrow snap pocket, etc.)
