Great question! We plan on covering this in a future video but for now we use kits like this www.amazon.com/dp/B08ZDH3TPR?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_W0RTMGAR4Z1TBNFGJ3KB&skipTwisterOG=1
Can that black logo design on the top of the head come off or is it able to be removed? I just think it looks weird.
Yes! Its just a sticker
Maverik redemption arc👊
They really redeemed themselves with this one!
I like this thing, it took me a while to get used to it. I think you should do another video on an updated version of you using it. I genuinely feel like the teeth make a difference when in a 50 going against a mark 2f. I play d3 lax at York so I’m going against some worthy opponents. Please take my word! Try it out again!!
Always love these video! And always want a new head lol. Keep it going I love watching these.
Thank you!
How long had you been using the logik before this review?
3-ish weeks. However, we repped with this head multiple times a week, and when we didn't rep I was doing individual reps with it daily. Really beat the crap out of it
Hey gkl, you should remake the green gkl 2f you guys used years ago. It was in the wumba compressor vid and the lax room vid. That would be 🔥🔥🔥
Grey* but green would be cool too
Wow talk about a throwback! Might have to make an updated version of it!

@ryanmaly625 you thinking about trying the Weapon X 2.0?
@Gklplus probably not strictly because I'm only a pinch foso, and I go to college next year. If they need me to take a faceoff there I'll think about investing in a WX2 but untill then I'll stick with what I have

@@lcarax28 I do love when companies release faceoff heads, but I can’t imagine SK having a reason to release a new version of the 2F. I can’t think of any improvement needed to the existing 2F that would require SK to come out with a “more improved” version
As the former director of partnerships at stringking, it’s not lol
@ I have the cad files tho
I bout a weapon x 2 and it’s so much better than the og
How soft is it compared to the 2F

@@Gklplus who is left to release a head?
You should stop throwing your left hand right off the whistle when you face you should only throw your left hand if it’s a 50/50
Pain to string. Trying a lot of different patterns. Just weird
@@maisie106sr We ended up using the pattern on the STX website, it was something we’ve never done but wasn’t too difficult once we got the hang of it!
is that a 2F stiff?
@@rogueryno2274 Nope, regular 2F
With the weapon x 2.0 releasing and being a slimmer and more flexible og weapon X where does this head rank in terms of flexibility to the weapon x 2.0
@@lcarax28 In our opinion, this is more flexible than the WX2. Majority of the reason being the type of flex that the Formula’s left sidewall has. The left sidewall kinking hard, along with the softer plastic being used, the Formula most likely will feel more flexible than the WX2. Wish I could give you a more confident answer, but its a tough comparison to make when the left sidewall of the formula is very different than the WX2’s left sidewall.
You should call it the inside one up
Link your stick
the weapon x \I just received has one extra hole and some different spacing
@@MonkeyGaming2020 Is it the original Weapon X or the Weapon X 2.0?
I faced off in college D2 level I loved the proton power. Starting to teach my son to faceoff what’s new on the market that is similar to the proton power? I have 2 brand new proton powers as well for my son to use but wanted to see what the new stuff is like.
@@michaelcornacchia5964 This is a fantastic question, a potential video within itself! The horizontal sidewall strut in the proton power has a very unique feel to it, and to be completely honest I have yet to faceoff with any of the current head options that feels similar to the proton power. However, these 4 heads might be worth trying: OG Duel, Duel 2, X-IT. I recall most guys who used the proton/super power for faceoffs switching to the Duel line, and then eventually switching to the Mark 2F. Any STX head, except or the duel 3/duel reflex, would feel somewhat similar to the proton power. Hope this helps!
Looks awesome! 🙌 Can't wait!
You string to the inside so that the knots and loops dont make your top sidewall higher and also to allow your top sidewall to slide under your opponents top sidewall easier. It also prevents the knot lock up when your sidewall knots get stuck in your opponents sidewall. Been doing this for years.
I love the head, because it is resilient. But a good scraper with equal hand-speed can cause you a lot of problems while you are running it. My son is at a D1 school and he goes back and forth between this head, but his favorite is still the 2F. I prefer to use the Burn Recovery against him, because if I keep my hand action to a minimum and just shoot down the line I feel like it gives me an advantage to get under his sidewall. But if we tie up 50/50 and he gets a quick second angle, he just peels it right off the ball. Likewise, if he goes for a strong scrape and gets his sidewall under it and lifts, its pretty floppy. You got to go way down the line with the scrape or get a ridiculous angle to prevent the ball from popping out.
@@panthersblow Couldn’t agree with you more. This is exactly how we feel about the Burn Recovery, almost like it’s a clamp-specific head. Feels really good if you can get them on the whistle and does well at slipping under plastic in some situations, but just like you said the 2F will really expose its weaknesses. The 2F is just so dang good in all aspects of the faceoff, it’s really hard to NOT use it!
How long of a piece of cross lace do you use for the top string and sidewalls?
@@billyconway7662 The more the better, nothing is worse than cutting a piece of crosslace, stringing the head, and then towards the end the string is too short. I will cut a piece that is as long as the distance from my finger tips to my armpit. This gives me plenty of string to use, might be too much for some guys. I have shorter arms and it’s enough string for me.
Fantastic video, only 1 thing I'd change for newer stringers that helps... never white on white. Harder to follow for newer people. Great description though, very thorough. 10/10 🔥
@@kochlax Great point, next time we’ll have to use super contrasting colors to help show the knots better. Thank you for the feedback!!
@Gklplus nothing but love for you guys! But you already knew that..
Should i get the mark 2f or the weapon x 2.0
@@Phantom-___- Depends on a couple of things, what are you currently using?
at 8:27 i was thinking "this guy is a mad man!"
Will my pattern in the og fin the 2.0?
@@Laxandfishing Ehh maybe, there’s one less sidewall hole on the 2.0 at the bottom (where I had to do that quadruple knot) so depending on how you strung your OG it might work in the 2.0 or you might have to do something crazy like I did!
Are the sidewall holes relatively similar to the og? I have a pattern that I love on the og that I have been using
@@trevortrevor2413 there’s 1 less sidewall hole on the 2.0 down at the bottom of the sidewall, which explains the “intricate” knot. Depending on the pattern you used for your og it might work for the 2.0, but worst case scenario you might have to play around with it towards the bottom of the head.
best channel on yt
@@Parley-o2p Thank you!!
So you are using 4 diamonds pretty down low. Does this help get the ball deeper into the throat on faceoffs? Does it make the bottom lace less important because it will bag low regardless?
@@lp_6014 Great question! The ball 1000% sits deeper in the throat, which was what we were going for with this pattern. There’s nothing more frustrating than when a pocket is too shallow in the throat and makes it a struggle for us faceoff guys to comfortably cover the ball. The bottom lace technically is “less important” but I have mine pulled relatively tight so prevent the ball from sitting too low. With the ECD Hero 4.0 the pocket has more structure than expected and seems to reduce the potential of the pocket bagging super low.
This pattern is crazy. I need go buy a weapon x just to try this
@@lp_6014 It’s worth trying out!
Stacked si into a double up is 1000iq in itself

What head and shaft do you recommend the most
@@Phantom-___- Great question! For shafts, we really enjoy the Savage X Titanium 7. It’s unbelievably affordable and is very nice quality. Tough to beat its price! For heads, it all depends on the player. Right now, we recommend the StringKing Mark 2F simply because its been the most popular head for years. It’s being used by almost everyone for a reason, not to say that these newer heads wont eventually replace the 2F, but until that happens the 2F is what we recommend for most players.
How do you feel about dying faceoff heads?
@@big1543 love it! Don’t notice much of a difference in the performance of the head. We think dying faceoff heads adds some creative seasoning to the position haha
Is this a traditional flex more then a face flex ?
@@He3sh5 We would say its smack dab in the middle. Where if you were to take a face flexing head like a CEO, but NOT make it face flex and made it a traditional flex this is very similar. Face flex is a very unique and “extreme” feel, so don’t expect to get that same feeling out of this head. It doesn’t feel like a super true traditional flex, nor a true face flex. It’s literally right in the middle.
Is the mark 2f something good to start with as someone who is just starting to learn faceoffs?
@@trevortrevor2413 Fantastic question! Most would agree that the Mark 2F is the end goal. It’s the most used head on the market for a reason. For someone who’s just now starting to learn s who doesn’t have any habits or mechanics fully developed yet, I would say it’s worth a shot trying. The “growing pains” that most guys experience with the 2F who’ve never used one before, are because they are coming from a head that doesn’t flex like a 2F (Burn FO, CEO, etc.) so yes they will naturally struggle with getting used to it. In your situation, I would definitely recommend trying one out. Give it lots of time, make sure it breaks in, and make sure you understand the feel of the head.
@@Gklplus I am not completely new to faceoffs, I got a weapon x after freshman year because I was on jv, and I played every single position except attack and goalie. I thought it would be good as I mostly played middie and defense a if I was to take a faceoff it would be good for everything. Recently I started getting together with my team's faceoff guy, and I don't think the og weapon x is as great now that I am actually learning techniques and speed. He uses the mark 2f. I would probably take faceoffs with a pole, and I need something that I can really do everything. And based off your review of the 2f, I have been leaning towards that.
@ Gotcha, yea the 2F would be a great option for your situation!
WX2 vs Mark 2f would be interesting, great content!!
@@alexpostelfogo Absolutely! We have lots of matchup videos coming up soon!
Is this better than the mark 2f??
@@Phantom-___- Depends on the player. If you want a softer version of a 2F then you might like it. Feels like a Duel 2 and a 2F combines. The softness of the X-IT seemed to cause the head to struggle in 50/50’s because it would collapse in on itself, and the softness also causes the durability to suffer tremendously. It feels good to use but most people enjoy how the 2F is good in almost every category, the X-IT doesn’t do as well across the board.
@Gklplus thank you. I was thinking about getting the weapon x 2 I'm coming from a burn fo recovery do you think that's a good option
@ We mentioned this in the video, but if you are looking to get into a more traditionally flexing head, the Weapon X 2 is a great option. The 2F is difficult to get used to for some players who come from the Burn FO’s and the CEO’s. The Weapon X 2 is much easier to work with, especially the white one. The natty feels incredibly soft but for some reason it wouldn’t wrap around the ball ask well as the white one. We plan on making a video about the different color options for the WX2 and who would use which one so stay tuned for that!
Thanks
Watching this again and I appreciate the honesty about it breaking like that
@@lp_6014 of course!
You should try and break in the wx a bit more. It is quite stiff but a great head when you do break it in. I use it for foso so the stiffness helps
@@Musicmelo14 are you referring to the OG Weapon X? If so, that’s agreeable. All heads get better with time, but I would rather use the WX2
@ yes I am
@ that’s fair it is better than the original. I just don’t think that the original deserves the heat it gets from the lacrosse community
@@Musicmelo14 the bar is just so high with faceoff heads ever since the 2F was released that any head not on its level is considered bad. It’s unfortunate but it is what it is. Love ECD and they definitely made massive improvements with the 2nd Weapon X. Easily one of our top 3 heads of all time.
@@Gklplus fair it is a high bar to break with the mark 2f thanks for the feedback and I would buy a wpx2 but it costs too much for me lol
