Brine Gospel Review
The good word is here! And that word is the Gospel by Brine. What makes the word so good? Well with these new pesky 2o10 head regulations ball retention has dropped, and if you are an offensive player looking to hold onto to that ball then the Gospel might be the answer.
Much like last years Asset the Gospel’s selling point is the stringing options. Triangle shaped holes and an angled sidewall allows the pocket to be strung on the inside of the stick creating the best “pocket pinch” I have seen to date. My first go on stringing this guy up got me a pocket that held the ball so well that it was illegal, but after some adjustments I was able to get fix it without giving up too much hold. With the stringing options you are pretty much able to by pass the new NCAA rule changes without breaking any of the new rules.
This head, unlike other Mikey Powell signature heads, is stiff and seemingly durable. Although I believe that Brine had attackmen in mind when developing the Gospel it is stiff enough for the roughest of poke checks. So it seems like this will be a versatile head that any position will be able to use. Like many of the other head lines from Brine the Gospel comes in several colors; white, silver, and headstrong green. So you can add a little flash to your game.
Highlights
- Mid-strung suspension sidewall (creates a deeper legal pocket)
- Reverse sidewall channel stringing (allows for increased accuracy in shooting/passing)
- Tight face and flared scoop increase handling and makes ground balls effortless
- 2010 legal for play at all levels
Should i go with the Clutch X or this Gospel?
That is a toss up and depends on what position you play. If you play Middie and take some face-offs I would say Clutch… If not I like the gospel for both attack or D.
