Heart of the Hide

### Expert Notes
An iconic brand’s most iconic glove. Rawlings Heart of the Hide gloves are famous for the top-grade, USA steerhide leather they’re crafted from, which makes for a firm and sturdy glove that so many players love. Over time, Heart of the Hide gloves have been remodeled to make them easier to break in and cater more towards players’ specific tastes. The newest Heart of the Hide release is Rawlings’ ‘Gameday 57’ series, which celebrates the MLB’s annual “Gold Glove Award” (introduced in 1957), by individually numbering each model—making every glove a one-of-one collector’s item and on-field gem. When we recall what made us fall in love with baseball, HoH comes to mind.

Mark 2A

# StringKing Mark 2A Lacrosse Heads

The StringKing Mark 2A Lacrosse Head is a meticulously engineered weapon for offensive players seeking ultimate control and lightning-fast execution. Its selling points include a super-light design, a narrow face shape, and a mid-low pocket. This combination grants attackers the confidence to weave through defenders, unleash laser-focused shots, and dominate the scoring game.

But the Mark 2A isn't just about individual brilliance; it signifies a pivotal moment in StringKing's legacy. Founded by two former college lacrosse players in Medfield, Mass., StringKing initially focused on high-performance mesh, becoming synonymous with innovative stringing solutions. The Mark 2A marked their ambitious entrance into the competitive head market. 


### **Perfect head for:** attackmen and offensive players


### Key Features Include



* Lower pocket and pinched throat give you control when you’re cradling vertically or with one hand
* A combo of light and stiff allows for faster hands, powerful shots, and accuracy
* Larger offset and flatter scoop get the ball in and out of your stick quickly
* A lightweight locking bolt secures the head from both ends to stop head rattle.

The StringKing Mark 2A carves a space in the offensive arena alongside established contenders like the Maverik Optik 3.0 and STX Surgeon 900, each offering distinct advantages for attackers. The Maverik Optik 3.0 champions customizability with its interchangeable faceplate technology, allowing players to tailor the pocket to their preferences. It boasts a mid-pocket design suitable for both powerful shots and controlled passing. The [STX Surgeon 900](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/stx/surgeon-900/l65241) caters to players who value traditional pocket feel and precise passing. Its wider face shape and deeper pocket offer optimal hold and control over the ball, making it ideal for those who prioritize pinpoint accuracy. The StringKing Mark 2A stands out for its stiff construction and focus on power, making it a great choice for offensive players who value powerful shots and hard throws.

### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* Light and handles like a beast. Love this head. 
* Easy to string and dye. My son loves the Mark 2A and has used it for a year now with no issues. 
* Top attack head. I’d recommend any age player could use this head. 

CONS



* If you like a tight channel that controls the ball for you, then you'll be frustrated by String King.
* Too many holes. It became too complicated for me to string
* Stringing requires a lot of trial and error. Look up online how to string this head. 


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

This is StringKing’s lightest head yet, making it a good choice for the quick and slick attackmen or the elite offensive player looking for the best control and feel. The head has a narrow face for quick and accurate shots and passes.
