The StringKing Mark 2T Delivers Unmatched Ball Control
As a midfielder looking to take your game to the next level, having complete command over the ball should be a top priority. This is where the StringKing Mark 2T truly shines. Engineered specifically with elite midfielders in mind, the Mark 2T gives you the unmatched ball control needed to dominate between the lines.
But what makes this head so exceptional when it comes to ball control? For starters, it features an expertly-designed scoop that ensures smoother ground ball pickups. No more fumbling around trying to gain control – the Mark 2T scoop allows you to cradle the ball immediately after securing possession.
The head’s wider design is also optimized to embrace the ball, making catching errant passes a breeze. Even in a crowd, you can snag the ball with confidence thanks to the extra surface area. Speaking of crowds, the Mark 2T enables quicker stick work to evade defenders. The head moves effortlessly through complex cradling patterns to create space for shots or passes.
Precision passing is further enhanced by the head’s strategic stringing holes. These are engineered to enhance ball retention, allowing for quicker catch-and-release moves. When you receive a pass in the Mark 2T, the ball sticks right where you want it. No adjustments needed before moving it on. This split-second advantage gives your cuts and passes that extra crispness to find seams in the defense.
The lightweight yet durable alloy construction is also vital for superior ball control. At only 5 ounces, the Mark 2T delivers ultra-responsive performance without tiring your arms. You’ll notice the difference in your cradle speed and agility during the course of a game. Even in the 4th quarter, you’ll have the ball control needed to penetrate defenses and create scoring opportunities.
Simply put, no other head matches the Mark 2T’s ability to become an extension of your stick. With unprecedented command over possession, it’s the ideal head for take-charge midfielders looking to control the pace of play.
Its Unique Scoop Improves Ground Ball Pickups
Securing ground balls is a critically important skill for any midfielder. After all, gaining possession off the whistle or turning defense into instant offense both start with clean ground ball pickups. This is another area where the StringKing Mark 2T separates itself from the competition.
The head features an angled, asymmetric scoop that is uniquely designed to improve ground ball control. Unlike traditional scoops that run straight across, the Mark 2T’s scoop has a narrowed throat on one side. This strategic asymmetry causes the ball to settle right into the pocket as soon as you make contact on ground balls.
Rather than bouncing around and squirting loose, the ball goes immediately into the sweet spot of the head. No adjustments or re-scooping required. Thanks to the angled scoop, you’ll gain clean possession on ground balls every single time. This advantage in ground ball situations can not be overstated.
Having the ball settle right into the pocket also promotes faster outlet passes. As soon as you scoop the ball up, it’s ready to be fired downfield for instant offense. The asymmetric scoop minimizes the time between scoop and pass, keeping the transition game moving at high speeds.
The Mark 2T’s wider design provides another benefit on ground balls. With a high sides and flared shape, the head gives you a larger surface area for picking up ground balls. You’ll never mis-time a ground ball again, even when absorbing contact defensive pressure. The generous shape ensures you come up with possession.
Its lightweight but durable alloy construction also amplifies ball control when scooping off the turf. At just 5 ounces, the head provides ultra-responsive handling without compromising strength. You get the quick-twitch reaction time needed to beat opponents to ground balls every time.
Thanks to its specialized scoop and wider profile, the StringKing Mark 2T simply has no equal when it comes to mastering ground balls. It’s the perfect head for middies who want to gain an advantage in ground ball situations starting with the opening whistle.
Engineered for Superior Ball Retention
Once you secure possession, retaining control of the ball is imperative – especially against pressure defense. This is why elite midfielders love the Mark 2T for its unmatched ball retention capabilities.
The head is strategically engineered to “pinch” the ball, keeping it locked in the pocket at all times. This prevents the ball from rattling around or slipping loose, even when dodging through traffic or absorbing checks.
The Mark 2T’s sidewall design plays a key role in optimizing ball retention. The head features a curved sidewall with angular geometry, which helps grab and hold the ball. This allows you to cradle faster and change direction on a dime without worrying about the ball popping free.
The placement of the sidewall stringing holes is also vital. These holes widen the channel to create a deeper pocket, enhancing control over the ball. With a defined channel and tightened sidewalls, the ball simply cannot wiggle free. It stays locked right where you want it in the Mark 2T.
The precision-tuned top string system takes ball retention a step further. It provides customized hold while still maintaining excellent release properties for quick passing. With a simple string job, you’ll notice how the ball seems glued in the Mark 2T yet still delivers crisp exits.
Superior materials are also key. The ultra-lightweight but highly durable alloy provides responsive command over the ball. At 5 ounces, the Mark 2T delivers effortless yet precise handling – perfect for retaining possession when defenders are draping you.
Whether dodging through the teeth of a defense or absorbing heavy contact, you can trust the Mark 2T to not give up the ball. Engineered by StringKing to deliver pinpoint ball retention, it’s the perfect head for midfielders who refuse to be denied.
Provides Effortless Quick Stick Passes
Every elite midfielder knows that quick stick passing is a must-have skill. Whether working give-and-gos from behind the net or playing catch on the perimeter, keeping the ball moving requires fast feeds.
This is an area where the StringKing 2T separates itself from other lacrosse heads. It delivers incredibly quick and accurate stick passes, allowing you to move the ball without breaking stride.
The head’s wider design and strategic stringing play a big role here. The flared shape and deep pocket provide excellent ball retention, while the precision top string allows for easy releases. As soon as you receive a pass in the 2T, you can push it right back out with a quick feed.
The scoop also enables quicker outlet passes. As mentioned earlier, the angled scoop causes groundballs to settle immediately into the pocket. This minimizes the time between ground ball and pass, facilitating faster transition offense.
The lightweight construction amplifies the quick-stick capabilities as well. At just 5 ounces, the 2T provides ultra-responsive yet controlled handling. Your hands move effortlessly to make split-second feeds.
StringKing also tuned the stiffness for quicker rolls off the pocket. The head gives you more velocity on passes without having to wind up first. Even stationary, you can zing accurate feeds from the 2T thanks to its efficient energy transfer.
For midfielders who like to play up-tempo and keep all eyes on them, the 2T is ideal. The head simply makes it easier to connect passes while maintaining full speed. You’ll stand out as a facilitator who speeds up ball movement and keeps the offense flowing.
Ideal Weight Distribution for Faster Cradling
In the competitive midfield game, superior cradling ability is a must. You need to be able to change direction swiftly while maintaining complete control. This is where the StringKing 2T truly excels.
The head features strategic weight distribution that enables faster, more precise cradling. By removing material from the scoop and sidewalls, StringKing positioned more mass low in the head. This creates a lower center of gravity for quicker handling.
With weight focused low in the head, the 2T delivers razor-sharp cuts and turns. You’ll notice how much faster you can change cradle direction. Defenders simply cannot keep up with the 2T’s maneuverability.
The lightweight alloy construction also amplifies cradling speed. At just 5 ounces, the 2T provides ultra-responsive performance without compromising ball control. Take it from NCAA champions – no other head comes close to the 2T’s cradling quickness.
In addition to faster cradling, the balanced weight distribution prevents arm fatigue. You can cradle all game without losing steam, maintaining your playmaking ability even in the 4th quarter.
The wider design profile is optimized for cradling as well. With more surface area, the 2T embraces the ball even through complex patterns. You get quicker rolls without the ball rattling around.
For middies who rely on sharp cuts, change of direction, and keeping the defense guessing, the 2T is the perfect weapon. The head’s cradling quickness and precision will have defenders spinning while you access high-percentage shooting and passing lanes.
Extra Wide Throat for Easy Catching
Securing passes is a vital skill for midfielders, who often receive fast-paced feeds on the move. The StringKing 2T makes catching passes easier than ever thanks to its extra wide throat.
With a flared shape near the scoop, the 2T provides more surface area across the top of the head. This enlarged catching zone gives you more margin for error when snagging passes, even off-target throws.
The expanded throat is especially helpful for one-handed catches. You can feel confident swinging at passes with just one hand on the stick, knowing the 2T will gobble it up. No more juggling or bobbling passes – the ball goes right into the pocket thanks to the wider throat.
The pinched sidewalls work hand-in-hand with the wide throat. They act as barriers to keep passes from bouncing out, containing them within the head. So even if you mis-time your catch slightly, the 2T will trap the ball and keep possession.
This combination of enlarged throat and pinched sidewalls makes the 2T uniquely forgiving. Not every pass will be perfect; in fact many will be off-line or arrive at tough angles. But the 2T takes the frustration out of catching by trapping more passes in its wider sweet spot.
For midfielders constantly working in traffic and absorbing contact, a head like the 2T is essential. Securing passes is challenging enough without a head that “gives away” tougher feeds. Take advantage of the 2T’s enlarged throat and take your midfield receiving game to the next level.
Durable Yet Ultra Lightweight Construction
The right lacrosse head must strike a balance between lightweight responsiveness and rugged durability. Too heavy, and handling suffers. Too fragile, and the head won’t stand up to elite play. This is the brilliance of the StringKing 2T design.
Engineered from ultra-strong yet featherlight metals, the 2T weighs just 5 ounces. This enables lightning-quick moves and dynamic cradling without dragging you down. StringKing removed all non-essential material to minimize mass while optimizing strength.
The result is a head that delivers constant peak performance. While other heads lose their pop over time, the 2T maintains its quickness and responsiveness from day one. You avoid the energy-sapping feel of heavier heads as games wear on.
Yet despite being so lightweight, the 2T is built rock-solid. It holds up to all sorts of abuse from slashes, errant passes and ground ball scrums. StringKing reinforced high-stress areas to prevent bending, warping or denting.
The durable alloy and stout construction also maintain pocket shape. Other heads develop ugly bagging over time from heavy use. But the 2T keeps its crisp profile all season long thanks to smarter engineering.
For elite midfielders who rely on speed, quickness and crisp ball movement, it’s a game-changing combo. The 2T delivers constant quick-twitch responsiveness you can count on game after game. Take your midfield game to the next level with the perfect blend of featherlight speed and battle-ready toughness.
Minimum Break-in Time Required
Breaking in a new lacrosse head can be a frustrating process. You need time for the materials to soften and the pocket to form the right shape. During break-in, the head feels stiff and unresponsive – not ideal for game situations.
But the StringKing 2T delivers game-ready performance right out of the box. Thanks to precision construction and tuning, minimal break-in time is required.
For starters, the ultra-lightweight alloy provides immediate flexibility without compromising durability. StringKing designed the 2T to move naturally with your hands from day one. No stiffness or resistance hampers those first few practices.
The pocket also forms faster than traditional mesh and leathers. After stringing, the specially-designed mesh locks into a crisp, defined pocket. While other heads require heavy breaking-in to shape the mesh, the 2T is competition-ready in no time.
This allows you to spend more time honing your skills rather than fighting your stick. You can start developing chemistry with the 2T right away rather than after a long break-in slog. The quick break-in empowers you to perform at your peak when the games count most.
For midfielders who need their stick performing at full capability come game time, the fast break-in is a major plus. The 2T delivers instant responsiveness and defined pocket shape when you need it most – those opening games.
Exceptional Stringing Versatility
A key part of optimizing any lacrosse head is stringing it to match your playing style. The ability to string a given head in multiple pocket configurations is hugely valuable.
This is an area where the StringKing 2T truly excels. The head accommodates a wide range of pocket styles thanks to its excellent stringing versatility.
For starters, the 2T features a plethora of stringing holes down the sidewalls. This allows you to tweak pocket depth and shape with exact precision. Dial in the exact channel shape you want through strategic top string and nylon placement.
You can also string traditional leathers or more advanced mesh onto the 2T with ease. The sidewall holes make attaching either pocket material simple. And the alloy frame holds strings taut without warping or loosening over time.
Whether you like a mid-low pocket for holding passes or a deeper channel for improved ball control, the 2T adapts. Finding the right depth for your playing style is easy thanks to the total stringing freedom.
For midfielders who rely on a customized pocket feel, the 2T is incredibly accommodating. With so many stringing options at your disposal, you can break in the head with your optimal pocket configuration dialed-in from day one.
