Warped Beyond Recognition
Your stick might still “work,” but if the sidewalls are flared out, the scoop is dipped in weird places, or it’s just looking lopsided, it’s messing with your game. Warped heads kill your consistency—passes start sailing, shots lose accuracy, and your release point becomes unpredictable. If you’re constantly adjusting your throwing motion, it might not be you… it’s the head.
Cracks or Stress Marks
Even small fractures can turn into major breaks in the middle of a game. Pay attention to high-impact zones like the scoop (especially for faceoff guys), the throat, and sidewall holes. Once cracks form, the head starts losing integrity—faster stringing wear, more warping, and eventually a clean break. If you're noticing rattles or odd sounds when checking someone, it's probably time.
Stringing Just Doesn’t Feel Right
You restring, adjust shooters, tweak the mesh—but it still doesn’t feel right. The issue could be that the plastic has softened and can’t hold the same shape it used to. Heads wear down over time, especially after being exposed to cold temps, heat, or tons of use. If your pocket won't behave no matter what, it's likely the head that's failing, not the stringing.
You’ve Leveled Up Your Game
Let’s be real: the head that worked when you were a beginner might not cut it now. As your game improves, so should your gear. Maybe you need a stiffer head for stronger checks, a lighter one for faster hands, or something better suited for stringing up that perfect pocket. Upgrading your head can unlock a whole new level of performance.
New Head = New Look (Custom Dyes Are a Must)
So, you're getting a new head. Why show up with the same plain white as everyone else?

These custom dyes aren’t just for the ‘gram—they’re a confidence booster. When you step on the field with a one-of-a-kind stick, it says something before you even make a move. You're not just playing—you’re making a statement.
