LaxDrip verdict: a tough, flexible two-way middie head with a deep offset for ball feel and easy inside-rail stringing. The only real knock is a small learning curve if you're new to Innerlock.

Overview
The STX Stallion 900 sets a new standard for elite midfield play. Building on the success of its predecessor, it's a formidable mix of strength, flexibility and smart design.
With STX's proprietary EnduraForm material and features like the redesigned Speed Scoop and Innerlock divots, the Stallion 900 is a versatile two-way head that handles both offensive aggression and defensive grit.
Two-way middies are the engine of any team I've coached, from Ontario box kids playing field in the summer to high school programs in upstate New York. They need one head that can shoot on the run, scoop in traffic and take a check on the ride. That's the job the Stallion 900 was built for. (Comparing options?

Material
The Stallion 900 introduces STX's EnduraForm material, an exclusive blend that adds toughness without giving up flex. It gives the head a unique mix of strength and adaptability that sets it apart from other heads on the market.
Construction
Beyond the material, the Stallion 900 uses new construction techniques for elite strength and durability in all temperatures, which makes it a reliable pick whether you're playing a frozen March opener or a scorching July tournament.
The redesigned Speed Scoop adds to the build, making ground balls easy to pick up from any angle.
Stringing
A standout feature of the Stallion 900 is the Innerlock divots in the bottom rail, which make it simple to string to the inside. That makes customization easier and narrows the channel for better hold and more consistent throws.
The 16 sidewall holes and 6 top stringing holes give you room to string any style of pocket a middie could want. Pick your mesh with our best lacrosse mesh guide, and read up on the different types of lacrosse pockets.
Deepest Legal Offset
The Stallion 900's deepest legal offset is a standout performance feature. It adds ball feel and retention, which is a game-changer for middies who want total control on the run. (Curious where the line is? Here's what makes a lacrosse stick illegal.)
One head that shoots on the run, scoops in traffic and takes a check on the ride. That's a middie's head.
Rail Geometry
Rail geometry is another big factor in performance. It gives the Stallion 900 exceptional strength and stability, so the head holds up to the demands of both offense and defense. Whether you're dodging through a short-stick or making a big stop on the defensive end, the rail geometry adds durability and performance.
Pros and Cons
- Elite strength: EnduraForm material gives top-tier toughness in all playing conditions
- Versatility: built for both offense and defense, for middies who do it all
- Enhanced stringing: Innerlock divots and smart hole placement make it easy to dial in your pocket
- Learning curve: stringing to the inside rail with Innerlock takes some getting used to

Which Shaft Shape Should You Pair It With?
Once you've got your head, the shape of your handle matters just as much. The right shape depends on your playing style and priorities. Here's a quick overview of the common shaft shapes:
- X (extreme concave): a pronounced concave grip, ideal for players who want maximum stick control on ground balls and in traffic.
- X+ (extreme concave with extra thickness): the same extreme concave grip with added thickness, for players who like a more substantial feel in their hands.
- O (concave octagonal): a traditional feel. This shape is versatile and suits players who like a classic design.
- R (ridge profile): a ridge for extra feel and grip, great for shooting and passing precision. Ideal for players who prioritize control and accuracy.
- S (asymmetrical): octagonal on one side and concave on the other, a unique, versatile shape for players who want adaptability.
Think about what you prioritize: ground ball control, shooting accuracy or a balance of both. Trying a few shapes, like X for ground balls or R for precision, can help you find the setup that fits your game. Our best attack and midfield shafts guide is a great place to start.
Conclusion
The STX Stallion 900 lives up to the legacy of the Stallion line and sets a new benchmark for elite midfield heads. With a great blend of toughness, flex and advanced features, it's a standout pick for middies who want to dominate both ends of the field.
Whether you're a seasoned player or an up-and-comer, the Stallion 900 is a worthy investment that can take your game to the next level. See how it stacks up in our best lacrosse heads rankings.
