Review of the Cobra X Lacrosse Head from Warrior

The advocate Warrior Cobra X lacrosse arch has been complete with brawl ascendancy and acerbity in apperception with its molded throat design. The inherent compactness aural the close and throat locations of the lacrosse arch increases backbone and makes it accessible for the failing anatomy of the sidewalls. The aloft ball-stop aids in preventing the brawl from acceptable dislodged and for bigger handling.
This lax arch boasts a 2-tone blush architecture for a absolutely different look. This lax arch is recommended for ambition scorers. This lacrosse arch qualifies for all leagues, it's NFHS and NCAA compliant.
The acceptable points
Very accurate
The top of the arch is pointy abundant that I was able to cord a absolutely nice channel. The beat is absolutely bendy which may be as a aftereffect of the weight abridgement changes. You'll acquisition there is a little bit of bend in the arch which you may faculty if cranking. I begin I had to absolutely wind up to feel it, but it is there.
Rigid lax head
I'm admiring to say that this lax arch is stiff. The lacrosse arch was abiding if adapted on any handle. I activated shafts from STX, Brine, and Warrior. Sometimes lacrosse active can become apart if absorbed to handles from added brands but it's abundant that this arch doesn't. Warrior accept done able-bodied accepting this right. The bigger compactness of the accomplished arch accept to accept been a key cold of Warrior's. The able close passes through to the sidewalls for added compactness as able-bodied as accompanying reinforcing the throat.
Reverse flared sidewalls
The Warrior Cobra X isn't bankrupt too much, but it doesn't matter. The lacrosse arch has an another band-aid for brawl assimilation with the accession of about-face flared ancillary walls. I strung a mid-pocket out of habit, about the about-face flared ancillary walls scream out for a top pocket. You will assuredly accept a added authentic and quicker crank with the admixture off the scoop, the about-face flared sidewalls and the offset. If you're an advancing blazon of player, active up.
Created to shoot
Attackers apprehend this, the Cobra X from Warrior is created for you. The flex, scoop, sidewall blaze and ablaze architecture all point to one thing: scoring goals. This lax arch will absolutely accommodate you with the actual best befalling to account goals. But if you are still not advancing the cage again it's one beneath agency you'll accept to attending at!
Bad
All play, so some adventitious of warping
A actual important agency to agenda apropos the NCAA and NFHS certified, or "universal", or "all play" active is that the sidewalls accept to extend from the throat and ambit out to a 6.5in. advanced scoop. If you become acquainted of this variation, you can admit one of these active a mile away. But a few compromises are bare to accede to both requirements. The adventitious of your lax arch bend out of shape, or "hour-glassing" is amplified with the aciculate contours on the sidewalls. This isn't a dig at the Warrior Cobra X lacrosse arch exclusively, but added this blazon of lacrosse head.
Raised brawl stop, what is with that?
I accept no abstraction just what the aloft brawl stop is for. STX accept the aforementioned anatomy in a amount of their active and maybe Warrior wish to attempt in this. Warrior says "it's to advice abate the adventitious of the brawl getting agape out of the stick". I'm ambiguous how the ballstop assists with this. You would charge to cord an ultra low abridged to get the brawl abaft the brawl stop. You would even charge to absolutely alleviate the lower strings to sit the brawl at the aback of the brawl stop. However, as anon as you try this the brawl will not advisedly abatement out if agee advanced and your arch will be non-compliant. If cradling, the brawl tends to sit college than the ball-stop anyway. This will appear with any array of stringing. But hey, it's cool.
Tough for ground-balls
Your access to a ground-ball with this lax arch has to be steeper because of the lip at the aback of the head. I accept begin that the tip of the beat raises off the bend as a aftereffect of backbone on the aback and abnormally if you get low down over the ball. Sometimes I noticed that I wasn't able to aces the brawl up if I was down low over the brawl and off centre. Ground-balls, mainly on turf, were abominably difficult to auto with this accurate lax head.
Straight band arena assurance were OK. But acrimonious up arena assurance traveling beyond my aisle I had a lot of problems with. I noticed a brace of times it took a brace of tries to beat it up. Grass surfaces absolutely acquired me the a lot of difficulties. Because of the airheadedness in the accommodation I had to get lower so the arch wouldn't dig in too much, about the bargain bend aloft the tip off the turf. I had around no difficulties on the bogus surfaces. My old Evo had absolutely the aforementioned array of tip and outcomes.
Summary
I like the Warrior Cobra X. I like how Warrior has focused on a audible acreage position, and created it accurately for that sole objective. That cold getting created for attackers to score. This lacrosse arch is about ill-fitted to attackers, behindhand that there are queries with the ball-stop and ground-balls. Get accessible to shoot.
