I find it nearly impossible to find a legitimate review of lacrosse equipment other than a company's rep reading their uninteresting product description.
I don't care if it's your favorite head, Mark Millon. What would make it MY favorite head.

Send you my stuff?
Sure. You can take my old bucket helmet from 1783.
Feel free to keep it.

Seriously though, the grade and type of plastic used makes a huge difference. I've had a head one year, it was great and then I buy it again the next year and along with the design sometimes changing, the plastic is sometimes different too. After all, most of these heads come from China/Taiwan and we all know China doesn't exactly produce the most reliable products 24-7.

game stick.

magician > wand. totally true. But to reference the truth that is the Harry Potter saga, there is a correct wand for every wizard… haven't you ever seen a picture of a head and said to yourself, “man, that looks sick”. then you buy it and for some reason, it sucks. maybe the throat is wobbly, maybe the scoop bends too much, maybe the sidewall holes are placed poorly. Is it light? Is it stiff? how good is the plastic they used? Whenever there are new products out, reviews should be done on them. Otherwise, you have to take the word of the company.

I always want to hear a trustworthy review before buying something if I can… what's the harm in that?
