Things I Liked:

Stiffness but at a cost

Things to Improve:

DURABILITY

Full Review:

Currently on my third head since June. It broke twice in tourneys this summer. Warrior has made good but when warranty goes so will the head.

JoeWillie - PA - 10/3/2009

Things I Liked:

Almost everything...but breaks easily

Things to Improve:

Breakability..... My son caught a ball off his backyard rebounder, the ball hit the apex of the head and cracked. It was not a hard throw.

Full Review:

Do not buy!!!! I have heard on other forums that this head breaks too frequently for misuse or overuse reasons. The manufacturer needs to pick a better material

Andwi - new york - 2/9/2010

Things I Liked:

new double bar offset

Things to Improve:

too wide, not pinchedbroke twice throwing against a wall in my backyard

Full Review:

wouldnt recomend warriors new tek9 material heads, they seem to have not tested them enough because of all the breaks that have been occuring even before the season has started

Stiffness

Things to Improve:

Color

Full Review:

I have not yet had any problems with this head. I went to the Naval Academy this summer and played with it. I have landed thousands of hard checks and nothing has happened. Maybe the ones people got that broke were from a bad set.

connor - new jersey - 5/4/2010

Things I Liked:

Good before you throw hard checks

Things to Improve:

Make it more durable to last through a lacrosse game. My head lost all of its stiffness after the first game I played in.

Full Review:

Needs to be more durable

Grant Lewin - Chicago, Il - 6/8/2010

Things I Liked:

Ive been using this head for a year now and i put my sticks through a beating. This is my 3rd one now, they break after about a season or a bit less but as long as you have a warranty your all set. Very stiff, throws well and catches well once you get used to it. Probably more of an advanced head

Things to Improve:

Color, slightly more durable

Full Review:

You cant expect a lacrosse head to not break but this one does last a good amount.

Greg - Trumbull, CT - 6/27/2010

Things I Liked:

overall pinch the stiffness and the accurcy of a shot

Things to Improve:

make it stronger, more compatible with rough play

Full Review:

i own it and i enjoy it

jeremy - niagara wheatfield - 8/21/2010

Things I Liked:

Sidewal, pinch, original stiffness

Things to Improve:

Make the throat stronger. Me and my friend both had this head and we both broke it in the same place right where the throat meets the sidewall

Full Review:

Good overall but the tek9 polymers not as good in the cold as regular plastic heads. if you like up north dont buy

Anthony - Boston - 12/20/2010

Things I Liked:

great ball retention looks cool stif

Things to Improve:

the scoop, i play D and ground balls hav been really hard after i bought it (i used to have an av8 begginers stick d pole) i don't know maybe its just me

Full Review:

good head overall, mine hasn't broken like all the other reviews say

will - illinois - 1/28/2011

Things I Liked:

Price, Throwing, u can really rip on this cross head. Great so far.

Things to Improve:

pinch can be abit tighter. I'm afraid 2 tighten it due 2 the special polymer might break.

Full Review:

Great backup head for the money.

John - Barrington, IL - 5/9/2012

Things I Liked:

flex, strength

Things to Improve:

flex, shape,

Full Review:

i bought this a dicks last year for 90 DOLLARS!... it was price around that anyways. its good for face off's but never re forms its shape and is left very bent

cole - d.c - 6/6/2012

Things I Liked:

shape, pinch, accuracy

Things to Improve:

durability, sidewall holes

Full Review:

love the head, but it is a pain to string with the hole placement. also its hard to get them on a shaft, my brother tried to put it on and it cracked... yup

alex - new york - 6/21/2012

Things I Liked:

It's what I wanted it to be, a head for 80+ degree games that doesn't turn to mush in the heat.

Things to Improve:

Should have been marketed as "heat resistant" not "stiff". The problem is not the head, it's what people thought it would be due to the marketing...

Full Review:

If you understand what weather does to plastic, you will understand that cold weather will make this MORE brittle, but if you play in summer leagues and your "gamer" turns into a puddle of plastic on ground balls, this is the head for you.

Mox - Hopedale, MA - 6/28/2012

Things I Liked:

Price...

Things to Improve:

Needs more pinch and needs to be a little stiffer every time I go for a ground ball I'm scared I'll break the head in 2

Full Review:

I just strung a pita pocket on mine and it throws on a dime.

Garrett Knowles - Grand Blanc, MI - 6/29/2012

Things I Liked:

Stiffness, Top String Holes, "Spyne" Jewel.

Things to Improve:

Broaden the first few holes on the sidewall.

Full Review:

Initially, the stiffness was fun fun fun for hurtful checks, but after boiling, pinching and dyeing it (so much for heat resistant) it's become more of a great flexible FOGO head while the stiffness still holds well enough for slap checks. Great hold, got a nice high channel in it and it's been great having it for myself and the different styles on our team.
