On-Field Performance
The Gait Faceoff head excels at getting under the ball quickly, maintaining control through the clamp, and releasing cleanly for exits. The shape and flex profile are tuned to today’s faceoff game, where speed off the whistle and fast transitions matter more than prolonged battles.
Whether you’re popping the ball to space or raking it out to your wing, this head is built to respond instantly under pressure.
How It Compares to Modified Field Heads
Unlike traditional field heads adapted for faceoffs, the Gait Faceoff is engineered from the ground up for the position. That means better pinch consistency, more predictable flex, and faster recovery — all without sacrificing legality.
