Didn't think I'd be doing this...

[lacrossexposed]

Ok, so I don't usually post threads askin for advice on my setup because, well I was satisfied with it. Let me start out with stating my setup.

pinched x2/ibeam (gamestick)

pinched x2/ red devil (backup)

Those are the only sticks I have and unfortunately, my gamestick x2 cracked at the sidewall.
I decided I should be thinking of another head to get, because I can't count on one head.

What I like in a head
-decent pinch
-good scoop
-stiff

I play middie and need a stiff head that won't break easy.

Heads I'm considering
-evolution (stiff)
-profile (same pinch as my x2)
-proton power (overall good head)
-blade
-x3
-k18
-H2 (stiff and durable)

So which head do you guys think will fit all my requirements?
I was considering getting the k18 because its only $110 on qclax, and when I tried a crankshaft once I really like the feel.
So help me out guys,
Thanks :thumbsup:

I extremely heavilly suggest getting a torque. Very light, great pinch, great scoop, and very stiff. Most heads that are the same weight as the torque are really flimsy, but it is extremely rigid.

I've heard tremendous things about the X3 as well, but I personally havn't had a chance to play with one.

[laxkid891]

ive seen ur x2 pinched...they look alot like an x3...and since u like the CS technology id say go with the x3

EDIT: im prayin to get an x3 for xmas or earlier if i save up cause theyre $100 on qclax and i want one REALLY BAD....sooooo ill let you know if you havent got anything by then....

[MaKiMaKi13]

blades aren't made any more and there definitely flexible, but i would go with the X3 on the CS its the closest thing you have to the setup you currently have

and do you take faceoffs then you might want to get a slightly wider head because the FO's will sooner or later warp the head

[MACDADDY]

the reason the torque is stiff even though it is light is because it has that inner rib. its like having a cross section to increase strength without increasing weight.

Torque's are not stiff at all, or at least mine isn't. I would look into an x3, I have one and it's sooo stiff.

i would have to go with either an e3 or a torque. e3 is stiff and has more of a keyhole pinch, but not as pinched as say a kannon. scoop depends on what you like, but the e3's is more of a flat sharp scoop.

torque in my opinion is a great head. it isn't that stiff, but for its weight its strength is amazing. scoop is a v-shaped since its made by gait, and the number of stringing holes is great.

overall, both great heads.

p2 are very flexible. 1st gen razer pro's are pretty stiff and so are motives

ya first gen razer pros also cracked at the throats.

[dskinner21]

Torque, has the most amazing scoop ever. Torque, had the most decent pinch ever. Torque, is not the most stiff head ever. I would suggest the torque.

Revo Pro. I play middie and that is actually what i prefer in a head also. the revo pro meets all of my requirements, and i LOVE it.

K18 Titanium Crankshaft will dominate all CS's this x mas
one of those is as good as mine if I can help it

[lacrossexposed]

thanks for the responses guys...ok so at first my x2 only cracked on one sidewall but not all the way...you can see what happened to it after today's scrimmage above^^^^ I've used torques, e3's, and razer pro's and I dont want any of those. I tried a friend's kannon/crankshaft today, and i must say...i loved it. I think I'll be getting one. Do warranties cover warping? Also, I don't think I'll be taking face offs this year if that helps

[the next 'one']

i vote E3. its pinch is really good, and its not too heavy and ultra strong. the scoop is not to good at the beginning, but after a few months and the scoop gets worn down, it picks up balls like a dream. you dont even really have to bend down at all.

[lacrossexposed]

i just bought a kannon...also strung a sweet 6d pocket in my backup x2, I'll post pics later

ahh sweet man...can wait to see it!

[goldenHSdemons!]

proton power on a titan pro is how the kev-meister roles go with proton power

[nnhsfog37]

x3 is stiffer then the kannon by far. also a better pinch for draws

[stinisonfire]

My question is, how did your X2 crack that bad?

i dubt the warrenty covers warping. but if it does i say break it so it's legit.

[RazzMaChazz]

Torque's are not stiff at all, or at least mine isn't...

You could have the 1st Gen. one.
i know those are a lot more flexy than the 2nd gen.
i've had both.
