Sentinel: overview

[paul8]

I recently purchased this head as a backup to my nemesis which i have used for the last year or so. its now my new game stick and it sits on top of my db803 with some white jima 12 d. It doesnt seem to be a very popular head right now, and i havent seen any college goalies (aside from kip turner-that guy is sick) or fellow high school goalies useing it. i am here to tell you it is a great goalie head and i will elaborate further in this overview.

Stiffness- when i got the head i noticed that it was reasonably stiff- stiffer than my freinds guardian and eclipse, but those who are expecting the head to be as stiff as a nemsis or goalmaster are going to dissapointed. its not going to bend in half on you but it certainly has more flex than my nemi. not really a bad thing, i dont mind it.

Stringing- one of this head's advantages. the large number of stringing holes on the side allow for a "dancing plethora" (i was listening to dane cook)of pocket options open to stringers. i was sort of dumbfounded when i saw that the head had no bottom string holes. this design choice seems so ridiculous for a head that has every other kind of hole in abundance. the newer generation ones have the holes i think but i ended up drilling my own. It wasnt a big deal but it was irritating nonetheless

Offset- it is more of strait head that has a downsloping cant- like the guardian or the eclipse. i personaly like it but others may prefer the offset of the money of the nemesis.

weight- another of the heads strong areas. it is very light when compared to other goalie heads that it competes with. at 10.8 ounces it is tied in weight with the guardian.

durability- as i have only had the head for about three weeks and have only played extensive wallball with it so i can not attest to its durability .

scoop- i love the scoop on this thing. its very flat lik older heads but it is angled sharply which makes groundballs a breeze. feels like a vacuum compared to my nemesis.

since i have only had the head for a short period of time i really havent fully seen what it is capable of but so far i am exteremly happy with it. you can probably find it at most stores for a similar price to an eclipse so it is also a great deal. i highly recommend it.
I hope people find this "overview" helpful.

From what it seems like, you havent used this head, much, if at all. The genreal rule of thumb around here is, use it heavily for a month, then write a review.

Thats why it is an overview, not a review. He is saying what he it has been like in it's limited playing time. Jeez people, at least read the thread title!

basically this guy summed it up but i just wanna elaborate on it more and show you all why you should all get this head

stiffness-nothing else to add

stringing-yes it is a godsend for u guys who like to experiment and do crazy stuff

offset-nothing else to add

weight-the sentinel is plain and simply the lightest head out there, tied with the guardian and the eraser(i think), and in my opinion the sentinel is far better than the guardian in forms of durability and stiffness, and i cant really compare it to the eraser cuz ive never used one but from wut i've heard about it, the sentinel seems like the cat's ***

durability-ive had this head for a year and a half now and has been through about 4 seasons and heavy shoot outs, it's still holding strong and i have no doubt that it will last me till the end of my first college season

scoop-yes, ive scooped with most of the goalie heads out there and the sentinel is def the easiest for me to scoop wit

stopping area-i cant exactly say what it is but it is easily ranked up with the nemises, ecelipse, and all the other good heads out there

price-for this head being as awesome as it is, it is very well priced, i belive it is even cheaper than the eclipse

basically this head is awesome, the one downside to it is the holes on the bottom need to be drilled bigger but thats easy to do
