Top Competitors
The Tactik prioritizes power and hold, boasting a deep pocket and a wide face shape ideal for powerful shots, tight dodges, and maintaining possession in the attacking zone. The StringKing Mark 2A offers a similar approach, featuring a deep pocket and stiff construction designed explicitly for lefty players seeking maximum power and hold for offensive dominance. However, the Warrior Burn XP-O takes a slightly different route with a shallower pocket and a more balanced design. While still packing enough power for offensive plays, the Burn XP-O's flexibility allows for better feel and finesse in tight offensive situations and passing plays.

| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| This head has versatile pocket placement options. It feels lighter when throwing and shooting than it did when I strung it. |
| Elite attack/midfield head. |
| Great head for middies. I’m able to control ground balls and deliver pinpoint feeds. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| The Tactik 2.0 felt a little boxy and stiff compared to other heads I've used. |
| Watch out for pinching. (They fixed this with the Tactik 3.0.) Makes it less ideal for defensemen and LSMs. |
| Some minor cracking on the sidewalls after extended use. |
The Tactic 2.0 is an offensive head made for the overall midfielder whether it is for the outside shooter or the precision passer. Offensive midfielders really like the 2.0 because you can shoot well with it, you can pass well with it, and it has a lot of control. Compared to the first model, it has a new scoop to make it lighter and more durable. It has a ton of sidewall options for stringing different patterns. Ned Crotty from the PLL Chrome uses this head as a two-way midfielder.
