Im looking for a new goalie head
ok so I feel now I have changed my stance and after some great advice from Odie I have decided to change my head. I have a nemesis and find it a little too heavy for my taste with my titan pro shaft. So im looking for a head I can string with monster mesh (as its the best mesh) and will fit on my shaft and is an all round nice head. I also have an abyss by warrior and dont really like it that much. So from all that does anyone have any suggestions?

Depends what you're looking for
Pick the head based on what you're looking for:
Help throwing- STX Exclipse & Guardian are the easiest to string up for great passing. They do tend to be the toughest to cradle & dodge with though.
Help cradling/dodging- the offset on the Brine goalie heads (Xtreme, Money, & Eraser) makes them more ideal for ball handling, but toughest to string up well for passing
Happy mediums- The design of the Gait Sentinel & Warrior Nemesis make the happy mediums between throwing & ball-handling abilities. If you want some offset, go Nemesis. If you want no offset, go Sentinel. Other major difference is shape (round Nemesis vs. triangular Sentinel).
Avoid- Brine Zone (heavy, flimsy), STX Goalmaster (flimsy crap), Warrior Snatch (knockoff of the crappy Goalmaster), Warrior Abyss (heavy), Gait Web (very heavy)

Stick (ha ha) with the Nemesis and get rid of you clunky, heavy Titan Pro. And replace with Lightweight shaft like Dolomite or KrptoPro.
I use a Nemesis with a Dolomite Shaft. Eclipse is good though. Forget the others.

A few new heads are out that look really good. Harrow's 1-piece goalie stick is good, but it might be too stiff to hold up against crank shots.
Warrior's new ODB head is really all the best parts of the Big Nasty, minus those god-awful wings. Throw it on an STX 2-degree offset head & it should be outstanding.
