Compliant for all levels of play including NCAA & NFHS. Follows the same classic shape as the original Proton . Exceptional toughness and strength for intense play in the defensive end. Additional stringing holes allow for easier stringing of the head. STX Forward Cant.
If you play d and your looking for a head under $70 get the protonU. For LSM it is ok you might want a little more pinched head in my opinion. Bottom line Amazing head!!!!!!
Ive got this on one of my poles and I also have an x10 and I gotta say I like this a little better than the x10. its stiff, easy to string and I like the wieght of it. It's on a pole what do I need a light head for? also it scoops really well
this head is ok. it is kinda heavy and it is kinda stiff for like half a season and then starts to bend. but for the price it is good. also what i did was when itr started to bend just change heads for a little and and then put it back on and it was a little better.
Great head for D, sooooo stiff. My poke checks make all of the wimpy attack drop the ball. A little heavy on my swizzle but still great for gbs and catching/throwing. Dont pick this if u run up alot and try to dodge, its too wide for that.
i would personally vouch for the proton u, ive never used or seen a blueprint before, looks pretty nice though, i dont like the edge though, its kinda overated, the u is pretty decent, and its cheaper than the blueprint. idk its up to you, i play both lsm and full d, and it gets me through, it warped a wee bit though this summer cuz ive been playing non stop since june
go with this, it is wider than the blueprint which makes catching so much easier, especially with a dpole and its one of the stiffest d heads out there
i got this head like six months ago and i love it, if u play defense u should definitly get it, but the only thing is u hav to string it right, especially with six dimond, and also all my shooting with it has it warped to the left a wee bit, but its a good head, and it really has stepped up my playing ability n' stuff, and all my coaches noticed, so... :-)
I'd say they're about equal. I prefer the Proton U, but after and really sunny the Edge might be a little tiny bit stiffer. Not much of a difference in stiffness though.
i agree with bellefontelax, this is up there for the best D heads and it is cheap. evo is not for D... ANY EVO! i hate it when peopel try to use evos for D, i want to deck my own team sometimes
this head may seem to be runoff...but no. get this head its good. i know some really dirty kids who use this and they love it. this head is actually legit believe it or not
I have both of those heads. personally, i like the proton u way more than the x10. before this head, my starting head was the x10, and it cracked on both sides where the plastic is molded together. the proton u is really stiff, but there are not that many stringing holes compared to the x10. your choice, but i would goo with the proton u.
the edge is one of the best d heads and its is around $50 i think but if it is out of those choices i would say excaliber only the x10 is not that good and i have never used the proton u
x10 dude. i use it. the other two starting guys on my team used the clutch. but overall the x10 is probablly better. if u want more pinch use the xcalibur
I'm a mid/att and i take face off. i am going to high school next year and I'm going to play lax there. I'm replacing my old stick, and my parents don't want me blowing too much $$$. it looks good, and its a proton, but the ratings aren't great, any thoughts? also, I'm looking at a kryptolyte shaft. just looking for advice.
my friend has a cobra x with 5 shooters 3 v's 2 straights and bottom is 12 holes in and out works great and is super light put it on a debair 803 ice it's beast
This head is soooooooo wide. Actually a decent head, my friend has it and if strung correctly still has good hold but the thing is at least 100X wider than the superpower. If you want a good back up I'd suggest the Gait Torque, there are some people that hate it and some that love it, but its light, pinched, cheap and really accurate.
Six diamond is actually most popular on poles. It has a lot of hold, but a much slower release. Out of the larger diamonds, I would choose 8d. It's a perfect in between for 10d and 6d.
The proton power and super power are essentially the same head except the super power is a bit wider. If you are playing high school rules not NCAA go with the proton power. It is and has been the best head for years for midis and attackman. Great pinch, easy to string, and its durable. You can face with it too. The super power is a great head as well just with less pinch. You cant go wrong with either it all depends on how much pinch you are looking for.
This head is really heavy. Although it comes at a great price it lacks stringing holes and does not have a great scoop. If you are looking for a d head, then go for a brine blue print or an x10
Ball control is all about stringing, and I've seen people who can string this amazingly. You are probably a novice stringer, and don't know to make a channel. If your a real defensemen, top heavy doesn't mean anything. Don't write in all caps, it makes you looks like an idiot.
yah impossible for you to string this, you string like you tie your shoe. I could make a sick pocket on the cheapest stick, i could make it throw better than your start stick or should i say bench stick?
Sorry For the double post. But I need a new d head because I have an stx hype (not that many will know what that is). But the head is kinda offset to one side because of checkx and stuff. Is this a good alternative to the Edge and Excaliber or X10? It's cheaper than the others which is what makes me consider buying it. Please respond.
this is pretty wide,about as wide as the x10. so its for d but its super easy to string and makes a good pocket and has a really good feel. Its stiff enough to play aggressive d. Only thing i don't like about it is it's a little heavy but not a big deal at all and super cheap. I'd say its just as good as x10 but cheaper
the face looks alot like original revo but should be better with stx forward cant plus stx doesnt throw off of top like warrior can definately adding to my list of choices for nxt head this edge or x10
