Traditionally-Flexing Faceoff Heads

A traditionally-flexing faceoff head is the most popular type of flex being used amongst all levels of lacrosse. This type of flex gets its name due to the natural flexing that all lacrosse heads have if they were to be used for a faceoff. Before faceoff-specific heads were designed, normal lacrosse heads were used to take faceoffs with and they all had the same type of flex. This flex is what players became used to using, thus making it the traditional type of flex.
