Hey gkl, can you please give a flexibility rating out of ten for the of wx, wx2, 2f, reflex burn fo. It would mean a lot to me. Love your vids keep making them
I'm currently rocking a 2F right now, but I also enjoy occasionally the og warrior burn fo for 50/50s. I used the og weapon x natty and liked it a little but still to stiff, not my jam. How does the bottom rail seem to hold up for bottom sidewall moves? and would you recommend this in my case?
@@jak3morgan the WX2 would definitely be a head worth trying for you! The bottom rail on the white and natty versions is solid. Very sturdy and holds its shape
Same with me I used one and just bought another because I loved it. It takes lots of time to break in though. I use it for face off stay on which helps a lot ig.
@@Middyman43 we’re going to drop a video on the different colors of WX2’s and who should use which one. If you could I would hold off on picking one up till then, video will be out within a couple of days
@@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.
@@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.
@@guyonthestreet2502 fully aware of the controversy. You can see on the film how much more the white version wrapped and twisted around the ball than the natty. Also, the warping on the white version formed much quicker than the natty. Same amount of reps were taken with both. Both heads were great but we really enjoyed using the white version! You could always pick up both to see for yourself😂
So the weapon X2 is slightly softer then the 2F? Loking for a head for a freshman HS layer. Want something just stiffer then the burn FO which is too soft for him.
@@NathanSmith-hk9iq we would agree with it being slightly softer, at least the white one felt like this. We’ll be dropping a video on the different colors of the WX2 and how they feel as well as which player would prefer which. In our opinion, Burn FO guys will enjoy using the WX2 more than the 2F.
@@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
White. The natural feels softer in the hands but when facing off with it the white one is absolute butter. Just look at how our white one warped versus the warping with the natural. More warping = greater flexibility. If you want it to be soft go white, we are also confident that the black will be just as flexible as the white.
@@kaiiser101 I appreciate the suggestion! We should definitely include rakes. We just assumed most guys prefer to see how the head looks when clamping. Can’t promise any reverse clamps, don’t think we’ve ever pulled one off!
@@miguelramirez2260 nope not at all! We would’ve mentioned if the head was bad for Foso use. In fact, that’s the industry standard for all heads. If it can’t be used for field it probably shouldn’t be used for faceoffs. However, we do need our heads to warp a bit. Can’t get the head to flex the way we want if it doesn’t have some warping to it. Would love to hear your suggestions on how we could make our next video more accommodating for foso use, anything we left out let us know!
Appreciate you putting so much work into this review. We loved watching with everyone in the office.
Stellar products deserve the recognition! Can’t wait to see what else ECD puts out in the future!
Ion goalie head?
what’s under the ball stop?
@ nothing but plastic!
@@Gklplus I was hoping that it would have "Veni Vidi Vici" under the ball stop like the og weapon x
Holy, two gkl vids in a week. Hell yeah!
Don’t get used to it haha😂
Fav lax RUclips channel
Much appreciated!
WX2 vs Mark 2f would be interesting, great content!!
@@alexpostelfogo Absolutely! We have lots of matchup videos coming up soon!

I’m gunna be honest, I loved the og wx. I am playing full mid in addition to facing off add did well in tie ups fir me
Ain’t no problem with that! Maybe you’ll love the wx2 natural
@@Gklplus i’ll have to try it

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

@@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
Will you show it doing 50s against like a mark 2F or a burn?
@@ziggykidder8861 2F for sure. Which Burn?
Formula
@ good choice, we’ll have to do this matchup!
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!

In the ecd video they said the white is the stiffest and the natty is the softest but here its swapped which one is which?

Just to clarify my numbers are based on our FEA simulations and lab testing - not face-off feel which could be different
So the weapon X2 is slightly softer then the 2F? Loking for a head for a freshman HS layer. Want something just stiffer then the burn FO which is too soft for him.
@@NathanSmith-hk9iq we would agree with it being slightly softer, at least the white one felt like this. We’ll be dropping a video on the different colors of the WX2 and how they feel as well as which player would prefer which. In our opinion, Burn FO guys will enjoy using the WX2 more than the 2F.
You know you gotta run back the Burn Vs WX2
Now that would be interesting
Yess
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
They should’ve dyed you up a green one
Hmmmm🧐
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
Soon
If I want something softer should I go for a white or natty
natty but in the live reps the white one seemed to wrap around the ball a lot nicer
White. The natural feels softer in the hands but when facing off with it the white one is absolute butter. Just look at how our white one warped versus the warping with the natural. More warping = greater flexibility. If you want it to be soft go white, we are also confident that the black will be just as flexible as the white.
yer boy with the dark gloves had his glove touching plastic on every single rep
@@jayprice7 darn! We’ll make sure to not touch the plastic at all next time👍
throw some rakes and reverse clamps next gopro video
@@kaiiser101 I appreciate the suggestion! We should definitely include rakes. We just assumed most guys prefer to see how the head looks when clamping. Can’t promise any reverse clamps, don’t think we’ve ever pulled one off!
i feel like this whole video is forgetting that its meant for fosos

Is it me or are y’all early every time to the whistle
I promise you we’re not going early😂
Yea they early 95% of the time
Got some D1 haters!
