This is the hottest D pole head in the game... period! Compliant for NCAA and NFHS play. Signature STX trestle sidewall provides extra stiffness and durability. 10% stiffer than the Xcalibur. Additional stringing holes for easier stringing.
This head is very stiff to start with but as a season goes on the head becomes weaker. I started in a small winter league and I bent the X10 and it started to warp after the first couple poke checks. I use now for LSM because it is flexible but can still be used for good slap checks and tomahawks. If you are looking for a close in D head don't get this get the other model called an X2 it is thicker and stays stiff much longer and is the same price. This head isn't as reliable as people say all players on my team who have them have started to warp their's and bend them.
This head isn't really that good because all of the defense cause this head breaks really easily and it warps to the side a lot. One of the d-poles on my team broke one in like 2 games.
definitely x10. The stallion is way to small for a defender and I find that the x10 releases the ball extremely accurately and far which is what you need really because you aren't going to possess the ball long and go on offense with it.
If you play high school the Excalibur is the way to go because it's a bit more pinched than the x10. Plus if you can find a stiffi that's great for lsm.
My friend broke both of his x10's and his tallon beast in one week. over 400 dollars worth of equipment down the drain. It's an ok head, but it'll break after about a year.
I have the edge and I play defense and sometimes lsm. If it's strung right, the edge can have a lot of hold. I've had mine since past summer and it is still very stiff.
im doin lots of lsm but still switch over to closed and the head that i have is the proton u so im looking for somethin with good hold and still good for d is this good? and if not what else is?
1.pain in the butt to string cuz it's insanely wide. 2. It's stiff but there are plenty of stiffer heads on the market right now. 3. Has anybody realized that it looks almost exacty like an stx starter head except with more support in the sidewalls. Go ahead and buy this head if you wanna waste your money when you can get something almost exactly the same for 20 bucks
So I go this head first of November and played only about 6 indoor games with it and it just snapped this head the weakest most horrible I ever played with! yea sure it's light but the stupid thing is so weak. I much rather play with the bionic head then this thing this head is the worst head in the history of heads! DO NOT GET THIS HEAD!!!!
cannot beat edge in stiffness, i play in Florida where it's sometimes over 100 degrees and my 6 month old egde is stiffer now than my 2 month old x10 was after about 2 weeks
I have a brand new white X10 that still has the tags on it. I'm selling it for $65, which is $15 less than on here. Hit me up with your number or email if you want it.
I just got this head the other day, and I used it for a fall ball game and it's awesome. Very stiff for groundballs and poke checks, and still has a little flex to it. I recommend this head form close D/lsm
x10 is wider so its easier to catch and all that. also if you're planning on playing college ball this head is college legal. Its a little stiffer than the xcalibur, but the excalibur is more pinched so you'll have better control. you pick
last fall i got a regular x10 for my dpole. a few weeks later my friend got a chrome x10. his head snapped after about 3 weeks(ONLY 3 GAMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) it snapped while he was poke-checking a kid!!!!!!! then in the spring, he got it replaced...... IT SNAPPED AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! then like 3 weeks after that..... MINE WARPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i did everything to bend it back. i would stand and bend it, i tied it a different way and pinched it... NOTHING!!!!! I am not very impressed by the x10, but if you want to take your chances go ahead.
I dont know which head to get for a d-pole X10, clutch 2x (which is on my regular lacrosse stick,)or super power. if there any other heads that are better than these, tell me PLEASE, i dont care about the price by the way
Get the mohawk mission. i had a x10 and it didnt last to long before becoming to warped from pokes. the mohawk mission is a lot stiffer than the x10 and my friends who are attack hate going up against me now after i jammed the stick right in his gut. also a lot of pple
Go the extra mile and look up the Mohawk mission... its 10 times stiffer because its made with a heavier plastic. this head is suppose to last years before breaking and i've never had a problem with warping. also the head cost around $55-60 which is a deal for how durable the head is
this i stung it traditional used it as close d and loved it i used it for about 30 games now its a little soft... the edge sucks i would go with a evo3x thats what i just got or a cyber pro(my back up)
i find them to be pretty even, edge is really comfortable carrying the ball and has a great scoop, this is stiffer but they will both have about the same stiffness in a few weeks so its your call
Im tryin to decide between the X10 and Encore X i play D but take it up ALOT i need my heads to be ground ball vacuums as well as have good hold to bring the ball up
To all D
This head along with the xcaliber are good. They provide a good scoop with great stifness. Downside-These will warp on u. Revo pro 2.0 is another option. The x10 is meant for ncaa rules. This weighs 5.20 oz, which is pretty lite. The xcaliber is 5 oz flat, The revo pro 2.0 is 5.30 oz.
Ive had this head for about one month. When i first got it i loved it. Really open and stiff. Great for ground balls and poke check. But the heads quickly warped and lost their stiffness. Since i bought my first head a month ago ive broken two and my new one is starting to crack. All have broken in the same spot. STX really needs to fix this flaw because restringing a head every two weeks is really annoying.
I got this head around the same time as my friend got the chrome version. He may through a few more pokes than i do but the difference is negligible. He snapped his with a poke check in indoor and then again in our outdoor league. Again great head just DONT GET CHROME VERSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My team was playing our big rival fir hs sports and i play attack, I am friends with the guy who was playing defense on me and later that week he showed me and his x10 was bent to the side from poke checks
the other day i was watching the syracuse game and i saw that stephen keogh was using one of these, so just putting it out there that one of the best players in the game uses it for offense so it must not be too bad for o
I play D and I was using this and went for a GB on a bad dirt field with a bunch of ruts. My head got stick between me and the ground and now it is warped to the left, but i have been bending it to the right recently and it is getting better, SO it will warp but you can fix it
ya i saw a couple up close and they look thin and cheap, like all the d poles on my team have them, maybe thats why they cant catch or pass, i stuck my brine truth on it and was pretty good, does anyone know of any legit d pole heads?????
dude like a year ago i bought a nike vandal and guess what my warrior head from my crap stick did not fit so i drilled a hole then when i got a proton plus i drilled a new hole in it you can do that it's super easy and unless you have a emo fear of hurting your stick u will be fine
yeah sorta, look at the durability rating because as a defensemen, you want something that is durable and will last a long time, something that is stiff and strong. i have this head and have had it for about a year, that being said i used it for summer fall and winter lax to go along with the current season now. in my game yesterday, i just cracked it. my backup is a proton u, im really excited to use that because it feels like itll be the strongest head ive used up to date. but currently alot of defensemen in college right now are using the x10 and the proton u. hope this helps bro
why don't they make this head in more than white color? will the ball role around or stay put when i cratle?i gess this is a good d head cause it's pretty wide.
I got this head in october, and only used it in fall ball and it broke in practice on a poke before out first game, my clutch is sitffer than this, waste of money
the X10 is better all around but if you want more hold like for a wing d pole that likes to take the ball up the field the E3 would be a better choice.
if u newer at d get x 10 if u more experienced get xcal but xcal is a little less stiff so if want a stiffer head get x10 they both are the bests d heads ever made!!!
