Over the summer I used a proton power that worked really well in the spring but it whipped on outside shots. I just fought through it until I bought a stallion. I wanted to finish out the summer until my bottom string broke right before a game and I had to use the stallion. The stallion worked great. I still use it and plan to use it unless the high school rules change and we have to use x spec heads.
I have used an STX eclipse for the last four years, I have had the same shaft for the same amount of time. Yesterday while playing pick up one of the throat holes on the eclipse broke. I remember thinking of all the memories I have had with that one stick and I'll admit i cried a little because I can't find the shaft I used anywhere.
Good video. I’ve never understood why people have more than one model of stick at a time. My gamers and backups were always the same model, and now that my sons are playing, it’s the same for them.
I think that as long as the weight is balanced, and u have the same pocket and mesh, then your good. Im probably gonna stick with an optik on a firefly for a while tho.
Congratulations on the store. I wish you much success. You definitely deserve it. It's good to see you doing it for more than just money, but for the love of the game.
I made the mistake once of trying to change my gamer to a warrior cobra x and I have always used a Nike Lakota, I know the sufferance between the heads is HUGE and I didn't even use that cobra for a whole season then I went back to my old kind of warped Lakota that isn't even white anymore and it's brown now, and soon I will be purchasing a new nike lakota I wish that I saw this video sooner
Does it matter if it's a different model of the same head? I've had my Rabil Next since 6th grade, but it's starting to break. Would it work to go from a Next to a 2X?
Totally agree with you on this. The only bummer for me is I always pick a head that seems to warp. 2 years ago I used the superpower and after a while it warped to where I could hardly catch the ball. I bought a new one and strung it the same way but it was never the same. Same thing this summer into fall with the warrior burn. Now I'm trying the Evo 4x and i hope it doesn't warp too much haha
So if I've been using the Super Power for the last 3 years, would it be bad if I changed my head the a Nike CEO U? Or should I just get the new Super Power?
Hey, I'm an attackman and I play with the NCAA rules. I love to shoot from outside, dangle, and one hand cradle but I am having trouble finding the right gamer. Any suggestions?
this is too true. I used a warrior blade 2.0 faceoff for 3 years... it broke in the offseason before this year and I couldn't find a head im comfortable with since
Would you guys give any thoughts for maybe a theory Thursday to do box style heads/patterns? Maybe try and look into the pockets the NLL guys are using with the playoffs coming up?
Hey, I am a defenseman wanting to switch over to midfield/attack. I play on a spring and summer team while playing defense but I want to try out midfield and practice at it. If you have tips on talking to coach and asking about position switches please help.
yeah two heads I've wanted to stick with are discontinued, Debeer Phantom, and the Gait Chaos. I did use a torque back in 2007 but it didnt last the last four games of my season. Still on the hunt for that head that will make me go head over hells for it. hahaha
Great video! I totally get that. Before this video I was the guy trying tons of heads and different pockets but never being super consistent. Now I understand why.
Would love to see a video on box style heads and patterns vs field heads and patterns. Some may say there is a no difference, but I believe the throwing and playing style differs between the two.
Great video! I think I'll share it with our Lacrosse Club in Tri-cities, WA ( 3 Rivers LAX Coyotes ) Top tier info ,all players need to here this from people who know. Again great job.
i use a joule lev with a stallion u 500 because of the balance and the feel i get with it, everyone on my team picks it up and says something about the weight and all i say is "preference"
I'm an attackmen and I'm in the process of finding the head for me I found the shaft for me was the Ecd carbon then that I am looking at now is a maverick optik hs
Sorry to burst your bubble Chris but you can't know the Noz "inside" and out did you even think to yourself that the noz is hollow before you said that LOL (I hope you can tell I'm not trying to be a jerk I just thought that was funny
Lyle doesn't use one stick too much anymore I saw a picture someone posted about him breaking the record and he had a rabil two he uses the optic world games he was kinda forced but he had a lokota u
you are complaining about not practicing and playing from memory. I hate people like that who need a "gamer", you were purposely being bad with the hawk cuz you were aiming way off. this is just sad. what happens if u fail a stick check what then? play for the love of the game not an overrated head.
Awesome video. Thanks Chris.
his face at 6:25 lmaooo ily
Best theory Thursday yet
I agree one hundred percent with you guys

I use the optik U on a gait polar ice shaft. LIGHTEST. STICK. EVER.
I have used an STX eclipse for the last four years, I have had the same shaft for the same amount of time. Yesterday while playing pick up one of the throat holes on the eclipse broke. I remember thinking of all the memories I have had with that one stick and I'll admit i cried a little because I can't find the shaft I used anywhere.
What a great video
Good video. I’ve never understood why people have more than one model of stick at a time. My gamers and backups were always the same model, and now that my sons are playing, it’s the same for them.
Dude after watching this I realized the Mark 1 is my gamer
I think that as long as the weight is balanced, and u have the same pocket and mesh, then your good. Im probably gonna stick with an optik on a firefly for a while tho.
How ever I agree with everything you said
Just started watching your videos man can tell you're really passionate about this sport keep it up!!
I don't need a certain head just I just need my pocket and shooter setup
When you try to miss your shots to prove a point. Looks like you should take up the Hawk.
Congratulations on the store. I wish you much success. You definitely deserve it. It's good to see you doing it for more than just money, but for the love of the game.
Who else thinks he should start using the hawk a little more...
I use a maverick tank on a kryptolight d-pole and i agree with how you get used to your gamer
inspiring
This video was really deep
Great vid
"awe that wouldve been cool" lol
I made the mistake once of trying to change my gamer to a warrior cobra x and I have always used a Nike Lakota, I know the sufferance between the heads is HUGE and I didn't even use that cobra for a whole season then I went back to my old kind of warped Lakota that isn't even white anymore and it's brown now, and soon I will be purchasing a new nike lakota I wish that I saw this video sooner
During college why didn't you just use the Torque 3?
That's the exact same thing with me as a goalie
Does it matter if it's a different model of the same head? I've had my Rabil Next since 6th grade, but it's starting to break. Would it work to go from a Next to a 2X?
Would this work for long poles
lyle uses a lil nas x
Why didn't you use a torque 3?
Super Power is my true gamer Love that head , But Im trying to introduce the Metrik as another gamer lets see how this goes! :)
Yeah the super power is my favorite head ever, it's so consistent!
I Almost cried with Chris's last sentence on Gamers 😂
Totally agree with you on this. The only bummer for me is I always pick a head that seems to warp. 2 years ago I used the superpower and after a while it warped to where I could hardly catch the ball. I bought a new one and strung it the same way but it was never the same. Same thing this summer into fall with the warrior burn. Now I'm trying the Evo 4x and i hope it doesn't warp too much haha
So if I've been using the Super Power for the last 3 years, would it be bad if I changed my head the a Nike CEO U? Or should I just get the new Super Power?
I like how deep you get at the end about the whole flesh and blood thing, keep rockin it mainley mesh
Out of curiosity, why didn't you just switch to the torque 3 in college?
If u really think about it. Its plastic and mesh. The head Dosnt do much.
The biggest thing is the stringing pattern.
I've used the same Gait Silencer head for about 4 years now, played attack in the beginning now on long pole D with it.
I have a gamer but it's too pinched to use so I had to move on it's the gait bedlam
100% true
You must do a rewview on tribe 7 heads
My gamer is a noz 2
Y didn't you use a torque 3 in college?
I never thought that you can take something so simple and make it so deep.
my gamer is a surgeon 700
Hey, I'm an attackman and I play with the NCAA rules. I love to shoot from outside, dangle, and one hand cradle but I am having trouble finding the right gamer. Any suggestions?
Command 2.
It took me a while but I have a rp3x on a Nike vandal
yo chris, can you say hi to Zane for me?
Brine clutch 2x is my gamer, love that head
I love watching this over and over again & when he picks up the hawk I love how his first shot was top right xD
this is too true. I used a warrior blade 2.0 faceoff for 3 years... it broke in the offseason before this year and I couldn't find a head im comfortable with since
Lol I only have one stick CEO on a surgeon SC-TI
I love my CEO
Ceo is a godly head
i have Ceo on dragonfly
Would you guys give any thoughts for maybe a theory Thursday to do box style heads/patterns? Maybe try and look into the pockets the NLL guys are using with the playoffs coming up?
Hey, I am a defenseman wanting to switch over to midfield/attack. I play on a spring and summer team while playing defense but I want to try out midfield and practice at it. If you have tips on talking to coach and asking about position switches please help.
Practice at home, and show him ur skills, or i would just straight up tell him that u want to play middie
You should also try playing lsm it's great. Also remember defence wins the game.
yeah two heads I've wanted to stick with are discontinued, Debeer Phantom, and the Gait Chaos. I did use a torque back in 2007 but it didnt last the last four games of my season. Still on the hunt for that head that will make me go head over hells for it. hahaha
So would you recommend playing with an x-spec head in hs so you don't have to make the jump
Great video! I totally get that. Before this video I was the guy trying tons of heads and different pockets but never being super consistent. Now I understand why.
Would love to see a video on box style heads and patterns vs field heads and patterns. Some may say there is a no difference, but I believe the throwing and playing style differs between the two.
"Upper eshelon" is now my favorite phrase
I can use any brand head as long as its strung by me. I can make any head work good if i string it
That stick for me is the Metrik U, any mesh I use I can apply the same pattern and have it throw almost identically

Great video! I think I'll share it with our Lacrosse Club in Tri-cities, WA ( 3 Rivers LAX Coyotes ) Top tier info ,all players need to here this from people who know. Again great job.
nike legacy on a maverik union and a maverik optik u on a maverik a1
i use a joule lev with a stallion u 500 because of the balance and the feel i get with it, everyone on my team picks it up and says something about the weight and all i say is "preference"
I came back to this video just because I love it so much.
Still wish I found out what happened between you and Sam
I use an STX Surgeon on a ECD Carbon Shaft
What shaft is the first one?! Love the look!
I'm an attackmen and I'm in the process of finding the head for me I found the shaft for me was the Ecd carbon then that I am looking at now is a maverick optik hs
one plus I want to try the hawk now
Mainly Mesh what college did you go to and are you pro?
Can I work for you please you have the best job ever
So what do you recommend to do if you want to make a new gamer?
Good video haha it sounds like youre getting emotional at times probably just a cold or something
Sorry to burst your bubble Chris but you can't know the Noz "inside" and out did you even think to yourself that the noz is hollow before you said that LOL (I hope you can tell I'm not trying to be a jerk I just thought that was funny
Where did u go to college
I'm just a faceoff man lol I just blow through CEOs every year
Same
edgy maine comment goes here
Tht was really deep
+eastcoastdyes Used the lakota for like 5 years
Lyle doesn't use one stick too much anymore I saw a picture someone posted about him breaking the record and he had a rabil two he uses the optic world games he was kinda forced but he had a lokota u
Carson Theriault You're right. Sankey would have been a better example. Lyle is too good for any human categorization...
And I saw him using a Evo 4
