.:Lacrosse Head Reviews - Brine Matrix:.

The Brine Matrix is hands down one of the best sticks I've ever used. I use it as my primary stick for every game, and its never let me down. Read on to get some specifics.

Strength

Although its not the strongest stick I've ever played with (I think the X2 takes that honor), its still pretty tough. After an entire offseason of playing around with it, its held up to everything I've thrown it against, including several faceoffs. It has some flex to it, but thats to be expected from an open sidewall stick.

Pinch

The Matrix was one of the first sticks to incorporate a flare into the bottom sidewall of the head. The result? It was a marginal face opening for catching, but a narrow inner channel for accuracy on passes and shots.
