Product Description
The STX Surgeon 500 head uses brand new ACP technology and features a contoured throat to create a top-of-the-line head for elite attackmen. The All Climate Performance (ACP) technology helps the head maintain its stiffness and accuracy in extreme weather conditions without any issues. The contoured throat helps create a heavily pinched, tight channel to optimize pocket depth and ball control by also making a deep offset. The contoured throat also helps increase stiffness and strength to help increase shot speed and accuracy. The aggressive, rounded scoop of the head also helps define a more crisp channel while also helping the player quickly transition the ball from the turf to the center of their pocket. Although the head has maximum stiffness and strength, the ACP technology also reduces the weight of the head to only 4.8 ounces, one of the lightest in the game to increase shot speeds. The STX Surgeon 500 is legal at the NFHS and Youth levels and is the perfect head for attackmen looking for a head designed for ball control and strength.
Expert Notes
The Surgeon 500 by STX is one of the most popular heads among attackmen. Its super narrow face shape is one of the best for an attackman. It also features a very stiff scoop, which helps create a channel for increased accuracy on shots, while at the same time helping to generate more power. This head is not legal for current high school or college play, since it does not meet the three-inch throat rule. As a result, the Surgeon 500 is mainly recommended for youth players or adult rec league players, where the rules are not as strict.
