D-Sticks

[USDLAX5]

what is your preferred head for your d-stick?

what type of stringing?

[exlax4]

i used to use an STX X2 which is great because it is so stiff and is a wider head, perfect for stick checks and for knocking down passes.

I have switched over to an STX Bionic though because it has a really wide scooping area and is pinched like crazy, so it helps on ground balls and also for when i am carrying the ball up across half (I am an offensively minded D-pole) my strings are hard mesh with a homemade tracker pocket in it. works well for me.

When I still played long pole I used a STX Scandium shaft...which was kinda heavy

But by far the best D head I have ever used was the Debeer Wizard...its so stiff, doesnt break and Attackman know it when you check them with it...also I used soft mesh because it was easier to catch with.

F-55 or its new equivelant and a STX X2 from my own personal experiences. Light and strong

[Choppy49er]

I mainly used(when i was on D) the STX Bionic, its alil bit of a pinched head. But it has great scooping ability and is also thick in the corners for hard poke checks. I also agree on the X2 front.

Standard hard mesh though. D-men don't mess with the strnging to much, plus we get down n dirty when we play.

I have an X2 on a brine F22 d-stick
i have traditional stringing, i finally have the leathers broken in where i like it, i think if and when the stringing breaks i will go with mesh. it is easier to break in and i dont have to worry about it getting wet.

my backup is a bionic also with traditional, but since i hardly ever use it, it is not broken in at all.

one of my teammates uses a wizard, i think it may be the ugliest head i have ever seen, but he seems to like it

Wizards awesome and are big, huge heads that lay a lickin' and keep on tickin'.

I use a Wizard on a wood shaft. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Raders,

you've seen my X2 Splatter and you say the Wizard is the ugliest head you've ever seen? That's an insult!

[jckurtz#2]

Raders doesn't like the Wizard, but I keep telling him how great it is for D. I have never had such a great head. I usually use trad, I think that is the best, but it is hard to maintain and to string so just a couple of weeks ago i switched to hard mesh. Hard mesh is ok, I can do everything as well as before, but my passing is not as consistent as it once was. I feel the pocket moves too much, but that could be b/c I am still breaking it in.

This year I got an E3 with a rockit-pocket. I have been using the f22 power grip for a few years now and I don't think I can go back. I like the E3 too, it's stiff enough to hold up, and the rip has worked well for mr so far.

[USDLAX5]

i dont have anything against the wizard, i just think it is ugly as hell

[jckurtz#2]

Hey narcissius, it not always about looks.

[Npaulseth]

I used edges when I played D in HS. I broke a regular edge in some kids chest, and moved onto the edge plus. That thing is beefy.

[Daniel Morris]

Still love my X2 and F-55 shaft. But I am looking to get a new stick and I don't think the F-55 is even available anymore. Wanted to try a newer head as well, but damn, they really make some ugly, stupid gear these days. It makes me long for the old SAM or laser highwall days.

God I'm old.
