VAPOR

The brine vapor is a lacrosse head that came around a few years ago when brine introduced it around 03. As a faceoff head the brine vapor performed fairly well considering it had an open throat design which I feel goes against the faceoff man. As a faceoff specialist I feel that there are some changes that could be made to this head to help it fit your needs.

-Pinch the head
First thing, pinch the head, with a wide throat I always felt this hindered my faceoff ability because I didn't feel like my head was ever clamping quick enough to make it clean.

-String the pocket high
Over the years, when using a stick with a wider throat I have found it easier to win when the pocket is strung higher in the head of the stick than lower. Having it strung higher allows you to make your pocket resemble a large net which will catch anything your opponent can throw at you. Say for example he tries to laser you; a high pocket will have a better chance of catching the ball than a lower pocket.

-Tune it to your liking.
After you finish both those suggestions play around with your stick and make some adjustments to find what makes it work better for you. Play around with the strings and find how pinched you prefer that head. Now go faceoff and show the opponent how it’s done.
Overall I would give this head an okay rating or around a 6/10. After you make some of the changes then this head will be much more effective for you. Follow my blog, post your own reviews, let me answer any of your questions come back daily to find many new things.
