I recently aquired a proton for free, and my friend has a G-force that he doesnt use anymore, and we were thinking about trading. Which would be better for attack? Keep in mind that it would be like a double backup stick (behind my profile and bionic).

definitely go with the proton, the gforce is reallllly narrow and hard to play with and i just personally dont like it :bart oh and a ton of college players still use the proton

It all depends on your skill level, i dont recomend a G-Force for a beginner because it the most pinched factory stick i have ever seen (maybe except for a first gen matrix, but i dont think so) If you dont have the best catchin skills go with a proton they are wide and good for D IMO, but if i had a choice of any D head i would get a wizard. If you are amazing at catching go with the G-Force, i think Blckout has a gforce on D and absolutly loves it because his stick handling skills are better than many attackmens.

i don't know. i'd suggest proton because it's easier to get a nice pocket in it. i messed around with the g-force a lot and thought that i couldn't get a nice pocket in it.

def proton. the teeth on the g-force are no good and as LaxGoalie says, it is hard to catch with unless your catching is really good. mind you, cutting the teeth off makes a bit of a difference. it's a matter of taste and skill level in the end i guess

i like the teeth on it, it hurts like hell if you get checked
I say gforce becuase since its summer league, itll train you to catch better, if you can catch well with a gforce, you can catch well with any head

Protons have a lot more credibility. I always go with the older heads, they're usually more reliable. I had a proton, it was great. I've never used a g force though. I always thought it would be more of a defense head because of the teeth.

proton definetly
it is great
if you think it is toow ide, it is a sweet head to pinch
the teeth on the g-force just suck

the teeth have something to do w/ a 2inch sidewall. i allowes you to have a deeper legal poket or something i dunno something like that.... they did a review on e-lacrosse they said that at the peak of ever tooth from the bottom of the sidewll is 2 inches...
