Gait Heads

The head is where stringing, scoop shape, and sidewall stiffness decide how a stick actually plays. Attack-oriented heads run narrower with a pinched throat for ball retention on dodges; defensive heads widen out and stiffen up to survive checks and ground-ball battles. Face shape is governed by NCAA and NFHS specs, so the meaningful differences between models are weight, stiffness, and how aggressively the scoop is angled.
