Middies are the one in the game who need to run a lot because they are the one in the game who needs to create a goal-scoring opportunity and also prevents the opponent from scoring the goal too.
That’s why a team with better midfielders wins the matches more than the team with the best attackers or defenders.
And most of the gear manufacturers have forgotten about midfielders and don’t make any special gears for them.
But STX won’t do like that because they actually created a series called Stallion made out especially for midfielders and stallion series heads has been one of the top-selling among midfielders.
And the thing you won’t be a great midfielder on the mat only by having the best heads, having the right shaft is also as important as having the best head.
Because having the best head and not having the best shaft won’t make you the best midfielder, and the that’s why we have decided to review the stallion series shafts which were created specifically keeping midfielders in mind.
