Lightweight Yet Durable Design for Quick Movement
The String King Mark 2G goalie head stands out for its remarkably lightweight yet highly durable construction. Weighing in at just over 1 pound, the Mark 2G gives goalies the ability to move their stick quickly and smoothly. This responsiveness is crucial for goalies who need to react in a split second to make those highlight reel saves.
Despite being so lightweight, the Mark 2G does not sacrifice on strength and durability. The head is constructed from StringKing’s proprietary blend of materials that give it the stiffness and toughness needed to withstand the rigors of competition. StringKing subjected the Mark 2G to extensive impact testing to ensure it can hold up to the hardest shots today’s players can unleash.
The combination of featherlight weight and battle-tested durability makes the Mark 2G the perfect choice for goalies who want the quickness and maneuverability needed for today’s up-tempo game without worrying about their head warping or breaking down over time.
Strategic Stringing Holes
The StringKing Mark 2G incorporates strategically placed stringing holes that make it easy for goalies to string up a customized pocket with their preferred shape, depth, and hold. The head has a standard top string area along with offset sidewall holes that allow players to tweak the pocket to their exact preferences.
Whether you like a deeper pocket with maximum ball retention or a shallower channel for added speed, the Mark 2G’s stringing options give you the ability to dial in the perfect pocket. The strategic stringing holes also allow you to play around with different shooting strings and nylon configurations to fine tune the pocket performance.
For goalies who take pride in stringing up their own perfectly broken-in pocket, the Mark 2G provides the ideal canvas thanks to the thoughtful placement of the stringing holes. Even beginners can string up a great pocket on this head thanks to the intuitive layout.
Minimal Offset for Excellent Ball Control
While some goalie heads use aggressive offset in the sidewalls to help with ball retention, the StringKing Mark 2G utilizes a more minimal offset design. This gives goalies excellent ball control and a smooth, consistent release when passing and clearing.
The minimal offset pocket helps the ball sit securely in the pocket without drastically angling the release points. This gives goalies a more natural feel when moving the ball out of the head. The pocket is designed to cradle and control the ball effectively while still allowing for quick, accurate passes.
For today’s goalies who act as an extra “quarterback” on defense starting the clear, the Mark 2G’s minimal offset pocket provides the control and passing accuracy needed to spark transition. The head gives you confidence in your ability to place clears on target.
Stiff Sidewalls for Extra Ball Retention
Goalies know that one of the most important elements for a head is stiff sidewalls that can grip and retain the ball after saves. The StringKing Mark 2G utilizes extra thick, stiff sidewalls designed specifically to give goalies the ball retention they need.
The rigid sidewalls combined with the minimal offset pocket allow the ball to sit deep in the head while also preventing gravity rolls. Even on shots to the far corners, the Mark 2G gives goalies the confidence that the ball will stick right where they caught it.
The stiff sidewalls also contribute to the head’s durability and strength. They maintain their shape over time so the pocket performance doesn’t degrade. StringKing constructed the sidewalls out of a proprietary blend of composite materials chosen for maximum stiffness. The sidewalls strike the perfect balance between rigidity for ball retention and flexibility for passes and clears.
Unique Rail Design
The StringKing Mark 2G incorporates an innovative rail design that adds both power and quickness to a goalie’s outlet passes. The top rail along with the side rails have an angular shape that act like stiff levers to impart energy as the goalie passes the ball.
This unique rail shape works in harmony with the pocket and sidewalls to launch passes with added velocity. The rails give a noticeable “snap” feeling as you pass that makes it easy to generate power. Even younger goalies find they can rip fast outlet passes with the Mark 2G.
Along with added velocity, the specialty rail design also makes the head feel extremely quick during fakes and stick rotations. The shape gives it a nimble, responsive feel compared to heads with more traditional rail designs.
Generous Throat
Goalies of all skill levels appreciate the Mark 2G’s generous throat area. The wider throat gives you extra surface area to stop high shots aimed at the top corners. Even when you’re stretched out fully up high, the enlarged throat helps you get a piece of shots that might otherwise sneak by.
The generous throat also leads to added ball retention. It helps fully envelop the ball and contains saves even on tricky bounce shot attempts. Compared to many competing heads which taper to a narrow channel, the Mark 2G’s voluminous throat inspires confidence in your stopping ability.
Despite the enlarged throat, the head still maintains a balanced, proportional feel. It doesn’t sacrifice any quickness or handling. The pocket area retains a mid-level sweet spot for excellent control. So you get the benefit of a wider throat without any drawbacks in terms of ball control or passing.
Matte Finish Won’t Reflect Sun Glare
The StringKing Mark 2G utilizes a matte finish over the entire head rather than a high gloss finish. This subtle design choice actually provides a major benefit for goalies by eliminating sun glare reflections.
The matte texture diffuses sunlight rather than reflecting it directly back like a mirror. This prevents situations where goalies lose track of a shot for a split second because the sun’s glare flashes off the head at just the wrong angle.
By using a non-reflective matte texture, StringKing ensured the Mark 2G won’t cost you precious milliseconds of reaction time when the sun hits the head. You can keep your eyes locked on the ball at all times without disruption.
Specs Optimized for Elite Goalies
StringKing designed the Mark 2G with specifications optimized for elite-level goalies. This isn’t a head made for beginners and then just scaled up. The dimensions including the offset, throat width, and scoop shape were engineered from the ground up for advanced NCAA and MCLA-caliber netminders.
From the tight channel width to the strategically angled sidewalls, every measurement on the head contributes to maximizing high-level performance. The Mark 2G gives the modern goalie the precise specs needed to compete against today’s blistering shots.
Yet while optimized for top talent, the head retains a balanced, proportional feel. So developing goalies can gain confidence as they improve skills. And the pocket design still allows you to customize stringing for your personal style.
Withstands Season-Long Abuse
The dual-injected polymer and composite materials used in the StringKing Mark 2G construction allow it to stand up to season-long abuse from the toughest shooters. The head won’t warp, deform, or lose its shape even after a full year rotating through daily practices and games.
The materials also resist cracking or fracturing from repeated impact, ensuring the head doesn’t break down prematurely. StringKing put the Mark 2G through extensive UV testing as well to guarantee the materials won’t degrade from long-term sun exposure.
You can count on this head to maintain its high-performance characteristics all season long. It will finish the year in the same shape it started without you having to sacrifice playing time for continual re-stringing or adjustments.
Trusted by Top Goalies for Consistent Performance
The StringKing Mark 2G has earned the trust of elite goalies at all levels of the sport who rely on it for unmatched consistency. Once they switch to the Mark 2G, many top-tier netminders refuse to use any other head because of its night-in, night-out reliability.

Easy Stringing

For today’s goalies who act as an extra “quarterback” getting the clear started, the Mark 2G’s minimal offset translates into sharper outlet passes. You can place the ball right where your teammates expect it.
Reduced Glare Finish
