# STX Stallion 1K Head

The STX Stallion 1K Lacrosse Head is at the forefront of the brand's elite midfield lineup. Building on the success of the original Stallion, designed by NCAA champion Kyle Harrison, the 1K boasts several improvements for the modern game. EnduraForm™ material enhances durability and stiffness, while the Speed Scoop™ facilitates easier ground ball pickups from any angle. The head also features a deeper legal offset, which is said to improve ball feel and retention.

The Stallion 1K represents the latest chapter in a long lineage of successful midfield heads from STX. It maintains the core values of versatility and performance that established the Stallion's reputation while incorporating modern materials and design elements to cater to the demands of today's elite midfielders. 


 **Perfect head for:** elite midfielders 


### Key Features Include



* EnduraForm™ - a proprietary material for improved toughness
* Speed Scoop™ for easier groundballs, regardless of the angle of attack
* Deepest legal offset increases ball feel and retention


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [String King Mark 2V](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2v/l760) and the [ECD Mirage 2.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/east-coast-dyes/mirage-2-0/l164123)

The STX Stallion 1K, known for its aggressive pocket and power-focused design, faces competition from the StringKing Mark 2V and ECD Mirage 2.0 in the offensive midfield space. The StringKing Mark 2V boasts a mid-pocket that offers a balance between shooting power and controlled passing, making it a versatile option for offensive plays. Additionally, its stiff construction allows for a strong hold on the ball during powerful shots. The ECD Mirage 2.0, on the other hand, leans towards a more traditional pocket design with a wider face shape and deeper pocket. This prioritizes optimal hold and control over the ball, ideal for players who value precise passing and pocket feel. Compared to these, the STX Stallion 1K stands out with its aggressive mid-high pocket designed for maximizing power in shots. Its wider face shape also facilitates strong cradling, but it might offer less control on finesse plays compared to the Mark 2V or Mirage 2.0.


### Progression:

The STX Stallion Lacrosse Head has seen several iterations over the years, each aiming to improve upon the previous model in terms of performance and features.



* Original STX Stallion: This model was the first model of the STX Stallion. The head was designed in collaboration with lacrosse legend Kyle Harrison, this head offered a traditional pocket depth and a wide face shape. 


* [STX Stallion 500](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/stallion-u-500/color-multi/l364715): The 500 model introduced a deeper pocket to improve ball control and cradle security. It also features a slightly narrower face shape for better handling and passing. 


* [STX Stallion 700](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/stallion-700/l723): The Stallion 700 built upon its predecessor by incorporating EnduraForm material for enhanced toughness and consistency. It also features an improved scooping pocket for easier ground ball pickups. 


* STX Stallion 750: This model introduced C-Channel technology for increased strength and stability. It also offered a wider variety of stringing options for greater pocket customization. 


* STX Stallion 800: The Stallion 800 saw the introduction of SpeedScoop technology, designed to make ground ball pickups even easier from various angles. It also featured a deeper legal offset for improved ball feel and retention. 


* [STX Stallion 900](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/stx/stallion-900/l165638): The 900 model continued the trend of improved pocket customization with optimized stringing hole placement. It also maintained the EnduraForm material for durability and the SpeedScoop technology for efficient ground ball scooping.

 
* [STX Stallion 1K](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/stallion-1k/l316969): The latest iteration, the Stallion 1K, boasts a redesigned SpeedScoop for even better ground ball acquisition. It also features the Innerlock technology for easier stringing on the inside rail, allowing for more personalized pocket configurations. 




### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* This head was meant to be my backup, but now I use it as my starter. I highly recommend it for offensive players, especially attackmen. It's perfect!
* Good control up close or running from X, but compared to Kinetik 3, the ball sails high/wide from >20ft out. Tough for sweeping alley attacks.
* Throws great and I have great control with the ball.

CONS



* It does feel a bit stiffer in the top section...definitely stiffer than the 900
* Compared to other competitor heads, the Stallion 1K offers fewer sidewall stringing holes.
* I understand this is a high-end midfield head, but it’s a bit pricey compared to what else is out there. 


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

The Stallion 1K is the top midfielder head for sure. It's based on the original Stallion design that pro player Kyle Harrison used and designed for that two-way midfielder. The 1K has an improved stiffness, shape retention, and an updated scoop. PLL rookie, Nick Nakeie Montgomery, who ranked 28th in Duke history in career points, also uses this head. I like this head because it can be used both on the offensive side of midfield and the defensive side. It weighs in at about 4.7 oz, making it lighter than the current ECD DNA 2.0, StringKing Mark 2V, and Mark 2T.

### Top competitors comparison: the [Warrior Burn](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/warrior/burn-14/l12316) and the [Cascade S](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/cascade/s-61/l855)

### Progression:

Retaining some of the same similarities as the Stallion 550 and the STX Stallion, the Rival helmet was designed with more aggressive styling hoping to appeal to the masses.The STX Rival Helmet is a huge upgrade from previous STX helmets. It includes a sleek design, 70% better ventilation, a Sure-Fit air system pump on the back to adjust the fit on the fly, and a nice fitted comfort liner. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS: 



* Ventilation and on-the-fly air adjustment are a great addition to this model. I added a visor just to give it a little more intimidating look. I definitely would buy another one.
* This is the first custom helmet I bought for my daughter, who is a goalie and entering high school. The helmet fits great and is more comfortable than early stallion models.
* For the price, the STX Rival is a great value. It's a step up from the most basic helmets but without the high price tag of some top-tier options.

CONS: 



* The Rival's color selection is a bit boring compared to some other helmets on the market. There aren't many options.
* The Rival doesnt offer the most advanced protection technology compared to higher-end helmets.
* It might take some trial and error to find a good fit.


### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround)) 

Lacrosse players looking for a light and airy helmet on the field should consider the STX Rival. This helmet features an innovative air system, which basically has a built-in pump you can use to adjust the fit for a snug feel throughout the game. No more messing around with pads or straps! The padding is not the most robust on the market, so if you're a super-aggressive player, consider a helmet with a thicker padding system.

# StringKing Mark 2V Lacrosse Heads

Carving its space as the jack-of-all-trades in the StringKing lineup, the Mark 2V Lacrosse Head caters to the multi-dimensional player who craves a balanced approach to the game. Its selling points include an aggressively angled scoop, a meticulously designed pocket, and a lightweight, stiff construction. This versatility makes it perfect for transitioning between offense, defense, and ground ball battles. 

The Mark 2V sits at the heart of StringKing's strategic expansion into the head market. Following their initial success with high-performance mesh, the Mark 2V marked their commitment to offering complete lacrosse solutions. The Mark 2V's immediate traction amongst midfielders solidified StringKing's reputation as a brand catering to various playing styles, not just offensive specialists. 


### **Perfect head for:** a midfielder

* 29 stringing holes on each sidewall allows for customization and fine-tuning

### Top Competitor Comparisons: [STX Stallion 1K](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/stallion-1k/l316969) and the [Maverik Kinetik 2.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/maverik/kinetik-2-0/l164266) 

While all aiming to equip well-rounded midfielders, the StringKing Mark 2V, Maverik Tactik 3.0, and STX Stallion 1K each cater to slightly different styles. The StringKing Mark 2V boasts exceptional versatility, offering a mid-pocket that balances powerful shots with controlled passing. Its stiff construction enhances ground ball control and allows for strong holds on the ball during powerful throws. The Maverik Tactik 3.0 prioritizes a blend of power and control through its mid-pocket design and diverse stringing options. It features a slightly less aggressive scoop compared to the Mark 2V, potentially impacting ground ball collection in contested situations. The STX Stallion 1K leans towards a more offensive-focused approach with its aggressive mid-high pocket designed to maximize power in shots. While it excels in generating raw power, it might offer less control on finesse plays compared to the Mark 2V and Tactik 3.0.


### Progression:

The StringKing Mark 2V lacrosse head is part of the Mark 2 series, which also includes:

[Mark 2A](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2a/l758): Built for attack 

[Mark 2T](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2t/l8715): Built for transition

[Mark 2G](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/string-king/mark-2g-2/l61759): Built for goalies
 
[Mark 1](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-1/l761): Simple. Strong.
 


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* This head has stood up to extensive play.
* With 29 holes, the stringing possibilities are endless. If you're a stringer, it truly allows you to hone in on what you seek to get out of the head.
* I am a 2-way middie, and this head has held up for a whole season and summer ball. Has not warped at all and is still very stiff.

CONS



* Spend some time ensuring front and back holes line up or you're in for a headache getting a good lock.
* Not a big fan of the of the proprietary string king head screw.


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

The Mark 2V is perfect for the all-around player, making it extremely versatile on the feild. It has a classic face shape, similar to the Mark 1, for increased ball control. It’s super balanced due to the blend of stiffness and weight of the head.

Hyper Power

# STX Hyper Power Head

The STX Hyper Power Lacrosse Head marks a significant shift in the brand's offensive offerings. Designed to elevate the elite shooter's game, the Hyper Power features the innovative Power Ramp technology. This ramp creates a steeper angle between the bottom rail and the scoop, promoting a "whipping" motion that increases shot speed and consistency. The EnduraForm™ material enhances durability, while the Innerlock™ guides simplify stringing for a narrow pocket with exceptional hold.

The Hyper Power represents a departure from STX's traditional focus on well-rounded heads suitable for various positions. Instead, it caters to offensive players seeking maximum power and accuracy in their shots. This targeted approach positions STX as a contender in the market for elite offensive heads.


 **Perfect head for:** elite offensive shooter


### Key Features Include



* Updated Power Ramp™ (patent pending) improves shot speed and consistency
* Features EnduraForm™ a proprietary material for improved toughness
* Innerlock™ guides simplify inside stringing for a narrower pocket and increased hold


### Top Competitor Comparisons: [ECD Mirage 2.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/east-coast-dyes/mirage-2-0/l164123) and the [ECD Rebel Offense](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/east-coast-dyes/rebel/l8819)

In the offensive midfield battleground, the STX Hyper Power stands out for its power-focused design, competing with the ECD Mirage 2.0 and ECD Rebel Offense, each catering to different offensive styles. The Hyper Power reigns supreme in pure power, boasting a stiffest pocket and a wider face shape for generating the most powerful shots and maintaining tight holds during aggressive dodges. However, its focus on power comes at the expense of some versatility in terms of feel and handling. The ECD Mirage 2.0 offers a more balanced approach with its mid-pocket depth and balanced face shape, excelling at both powerful shots and controlled passing while facilitating quick transitions with good ground ball pick-up. The ECD Rebel Offense leans towards a slightly shallower pocket and a pinched face shape, striking a sweet spot between power and handling, making it ideal for players who value strong throws while maintaining good control for dodges and passing. 


### Progression:

The STX Hyper Power does not come from any previous STX models. It’s a new addition to the lineup, specifically designed for elite offensive shooters.

While there isn't a direct lineage from previous models, STX utilizes learnings and technologies from their existing lacrosse heads to develop new ones. For instance, Hyper Power's EnduraForm material is an improvement upon materials used in other STX heads, and its stringing features, like Innerlock guides are inspired by their broader lacrosse head technologies.


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* This lacrosse head is perfect for step down shooters who like to lean in and shoot hard and accurately. There's nothing else like it on the market.
* I don't remember the last time a head worked this well for me, even strung a few different ways. It is incredibly accurate and is an absolute vacuum for ground balls.
* It improves accuracy and speed—a well-built head with a good-sounding snap release.

CONS



* Feels a bit stiff out of the box. 
* You have to spend significant time to break it in. 
* The sweet spot feels a bit narrow compared to other heads I’ve used


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

The Hyper Power is designed to bring the game of an elite shooter to the next level. It is incredibly accurate and has a new structure that provides a natural whip to the head, unlike many other heads. The bottom of the head rises to the top at a different angle than other heads, which keeps the ball in your pocket longer and takes away the variables of stringing materials. This head is used by players like Marcus Holman and Will Manny. Holman used this head to win the 2021 PLL Accuracy Contest in both 2021 and 2022 All-Star Games.

Built upon the legacy of the Hammer line, it boasts an Enduraform™ plastic construction, which provides unmatched stiffness and shape retention, ensuring checks land true and the head stays pocket-perfect. The redesigned Speed Scoop™ facilitates effortless ground ball pickups, even at awkward angles, while the tighter face profile grants control for pinpoint clears and fast breaks.

* Redesigned Speed Scoop™ for effortless ground ball pickups, even at awkward angles
* A tighter face profile adds control for pinpoint clears and fast breaks.

### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [Warrior Evo QX2-D](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/evo-qx2-d/l350399) and the [Maverik Tank 2.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/tank-2-0/l164354)

The STX Hammer 900 steps into the defensive arena alongside the Warrior Evo QX2-D and Maverik Tank 2.0, each prioritizing control and power, but catering to slightly different defensive tactics. The Hammer 900 features a mid-pocket depth and a balanced face shape, offering a sweet spot for both powerful checks and ground ball channeling. The Warrior Evo QX2-D boasts a similar pocket depth but with a wider face, excelling at scooping loose balls and winning ground ball battles in open spaces. Conversely, the Maverik Tank 2.0 leans towards a slightly shallower pocket and a pinched face shape, ideal for precise checks and maintaining tight possession control in close defensive situations.


### Progression:

The STX Hammer 900 doesn't have a clear, direct predecessor in the STX Hammer line. While it carries the "Hammer" name, traditionally associated with STX's defensive heads, the 900 is a new design rather than an iterative update on a previous model.


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* Excellent strength and retention due to its EnduraForm material. Its shape creates a smaller space for the ball to move, making it less likely to fly out during a game. 
* Love the quick scoop feature which makes the ball fall right into the pocket with minimal rolling. It is an amazing lacrosse head for elite defensemen.
* Great profile for scooping ground balls, sidewalls allow for a nice mid-high pocket.

CONS



* Feels a bit stiff initially, although it might break in with some use
* Pricey compared to other heads
* Not a ton of reviews or information about this head. Hard to know if it’s held up for other players. 


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 


The Hammer 900 is a top defensive head, crafted for the elite defensemen. Designed with STX’s new Enduraform plastic, this head has great shape retention and is incredibly stiff. This head is just like the Tank 2.0, you can throw some pretty hard checks with it. It has a tighter face compared to most defensive heads which makes control of ground balls much easier.

### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [Maverik Optik 3.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/maverik/optik-3-0/l165698) and the [STX Surgeon 900](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/stx/surgeon-900/l65241)

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.

CONS

Hammer

### Product Description 

The STX Hammer is widely regarded as one of the best defensive heads available. The head features new technologies like the speed scoop, C-Channel, and the strike plate on the sidewall. The speed scoop combined with the wide top of the head helps create a greater variety of approach angles for ground balls; that, plus it facilitates a smoother release to increase speed and accuracy. The C-Channel technology helps add strength and stability while creating a tighter channel for the ball to be funneled into while also improving stiffness for heavy checks. In addition, the strike plate on either sidewall adds to the impact area when throwing checks while also increasing strength and stiffness. Overall, the head has a very wide design to help defensive players better pick off passes and scoop ground balls in traffic. The STX Hammer is a universally legal head great for LSM’s and close defenders to help improve their power and accuracy while giving hard hits and checks.

### Expert Notes

The Hammer is one of the top defensive heads you can buy. To start, the STX Hammer has a very wide scoop and face shape, which allows players to intercept passes and scoop up ground balls more easily. You don’t have to worry about the Hammer warping or cracking, thanks to its very sturdy sidewall strut design. The Endura Form version of this particular head adds 25 percent extra strength, so it will withstand the gritty nature that comes with playing defense. Overall, if you're looking for a solid head that's not going to let you down when you’re trying to make big plays, definitely consider the STX Hammer.

Stallion

# STX Stallion Lacrosse Heads

The STX Stallion Lacrosse Head comes from a lineage of midfield dominance etched into the sport's history. This iconic head, first launched in 2005 by NCAA champion Kyle Harrison, has evolved through various iterations like the 700, 900, and 1K, each catering to diverse playing styles. Its selling points are the durability of STX's EnduraForm material, the strategically placed holes, scoops, and pocket design, which prioritizes exceptional control.  

From its championship roots to its presence in top players' bags, the STX Stallion isn't just a head; it's a testament to evolving with the game and empowering midfielders to leave their mark.


### **Perfect head for:** the advanced all-around midfielder


### Key Features Include



* Engineered for strength and stability 
* Features C-Channel technology that provides extra strength at the face-off X, on groundballs, and checks
* Sidewall braces provide extra stability on outside shots and groundballs

### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [Maverik Tactik 3.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/tactik-3-0/l266866) and the [Nike L3](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/nike/l3-2/attack-midfield-heads/l257800)


As a versatile two-way midfield head, the STX Stallion competes closely with the Maverik Tactik 3.0 and Nike L3, each offering distinct advantages. The Stallion strikes a balance between power and control, making it suitable for both offensive and defensive situations. Its stiff pocket excels at channeling throws and generating strong shots, while the traditional open-face design allows for easy scooping and ground ball pick-up. The Maverik Tactik prioritizes offensive prowess with its deeper pocket and wider face shape, facilitating powerful shots and holds for dodging and attacking. Conversely, the Nike L3 leans towards a more defensive approach with its narrower face and shallower pocket, enabling better ground ball control and tighter checks.

* STX Stallion 750: This model introduced C-Channel technology for increased strength and stability. It also offered a wider variety of stringing options for greater pocket customization. 
* STX Stallion 800: The Stallion 800 saw the introduction of SpeedScoop technology, designed to make ground ball pickups even easier from various angles. It also featured a deeper legal offset for improved ball feel and retention. 
* [STX Stallion 900](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/stx/stallion-900/l165638): The 900 model continued the trend of improved pocket customization with optimized stringing hole placement.

Eclipse

### Expert Notes

Easily one of the all-time most popular heads, the Eclipse head by STX is used by a majority of goalies at all levels of the game. One of the main reasons why it’s so popular is because it has one of the widest face shapes compared to the other goalie heads on the market. This larger size helps with just about everything a goalie does: clearing, catching, saving, and passing. Even though it's got the widest area, it's still a very accurate head when strung correctly. There’s an abundance of stringing holes for just about any stringing pattern, and creating a pocket with a great channel is super easy.
