On-Field Performance
The Tonkka defensive head balances coverage and responsiveness. Its wider face shape helps defenders control off-ball play, disrupt attackers, and scoop ground balls quickly, while its stiff sidewalls maintain shape during checks and collisions. The robust construction means this head holds up in high-tempo games and physical environments without flexing or losing integrity.
This gives players flexibility: customize your pocket if you string yourself, or grab a factory-strung head that’s ready for the field.
