Staff Review: Brine Remix Superlight

The 2012 Remix Superlight from Brine features a self-described "tight face shape" for "improved accuracy". It is absolutely one of the very lightest heads available on the market.

The Remix Superlight has dimensions that make it legal for NFHS. (high school) play. It is NOT legal for NCAA lacrosse. We also carry the Remix X6, which does fit into the NCAA rulebook just fine. The X 6 is $100 for a white, unstrung head.

You can order the Remix or any head we carry at Rock-it Pocket unstrung, or you can have it customized and pocketeered by our experienced Rock-it Pocket craftsmen. Call us at - 800-374-7468 if you have questions or want answers on the Remix.

FACE FACTS

At first glance the face of the Brine Remix reveals a very noticeable flare to the inside at the bottom of the sidewalls. This was originally patented by Warrior in the Blade, the head design shape naturally narrows the pocket for better hold and also for better ball channeling. Closing or collapsing the sidewalls in this particular way pinches the bottom walls together, and that enables the pocket to better keep the ball tucked safely away in the stick.

The shape of the Remix head opening is similar to the Brine Clutch 2, but the flare aspect is far more pronounced on the new Remix, although not as radical as the Blade was.

MORE NUTS AND BOLTS

The Remix walls almost peel back and out as they rise toward the front of the face, opening up to offer more potential catching area and space to 'invite' the ball in.

WHAT'S THE SCOOP?

The Remix scoop is exactly the same as the scoop on the Brine Clutch 2, fairly curved, but not extreme. The scoop blade is not as wide as some out there, but this is a very versatile scoop on a very light head. The blade flattens nicely with a little push onto the turf for quick, efficient pick-ups.

SCENES FROM A SIDEWALL

The top of the Remix sidewall, when looking at it from the side, draws a visual line that stays straight for only a couple of inches out from the shaft before curving easily down to work the offset action and then continuing a slow curve back up almost all the way to the scoop. The bottom sidewall rail line curves pretty much parallel to the top one, making head change gradual.

The sidewall look of the Remix is unique unto itself, but the rails are spread out and configured in a way that leaves the overall sidewalls very open in the effort to spare weight. The bridge span that joins the top rail to the bottom uses a flat, wavy look with the structure enforcement in the mid-section of the head to help keep the walls from collapsing.

THROAT

The throat design of the Remix is again very similar to the Clutch 2. The shaft goes about �" less into the head than it does on the Clutch 2. This head is not really built for whackers.

STATISTICALLY SPEAKING

The Warrior Noz nitrogen injected plastic technology is the major factor that makes the Brine Remix Superlight so light. The head with no pocket weighs in at a miniscule, almost unheard of 116 grams, a meager 4.1 ounces. This puts the Remix in a very elite class when listing the lightest factory heads ever produced. We have found this Noz material, at least the Warrior Noz head model itself, to work great.

STIFFNESS RATING

The Brine Remix Superlight is perhaps a little more rigid than the Warrior Cobra, a head that we already like a lot for many reasons. Stiffness and flexibility are individual tastes. There is no one right answer

STRINGS ATTACHED

There are perhaps way too many stringing holes on many of the newer heads these days, and the Remix fits that mold. Don't let that reality distract you, but we do recommend that only pocket experts do this work.

The back of the scoop plastic is not markedly recessed on the Remix in order to give any kind of string abrasion relief from the ground rubbing on the scoop blade back. Fix this before the string begins to tear or fray. You can just pull out a Bic lighter and 'melt' the strings so they won't fray as quickly, or dab a little Shoe Goo on the backside of your leathers. Be careful with the Bic lighter flame, and the Bic does work best. Don't let it get the string tip to fire up, kind of like toasting marshmallows and you don't want them black.

POCKET PLACEMENT

The gradual curve of the open sidewall, coupled with the balance point on the bottom of same make it so any pocket placement can work well with the Remix, but we like a dead center middle pocket to get optimum head capabilities.

WHO DO YOU LOVE?

Again, the Brine Remix Superlight is NOT a college legal head. The Remix Superlight X 6 is the same and IS college legal, as it widens down in the throat area. It stays narrow at the top of the head, so it is legal for NCAA play, and the channel is almost straight because the top is pinched. The X 6 is NOT legal for high school NFHS play. This X 6 makes for a great shooting model. All the X 6's do.

Confused yet? As a company and as a team we at Rock-it Pocket are really trying to separate the forest from the trees in the lacrosse head jungle. Rules make things tricky, but our aim is to point players to a core group of good choices that will enable you, the player, to build YOUR ideal lacrosse stick made up of the perfect combination of stick components that fit your game best.

GETTING POSITION

Using the newest that plastic technology has to offer to go along with open sidewall design make the Remix a head that will appeal to the offensive minded player, the one who is looking to rock a 'high performance' wand. Many players want a stick that is as lightweight overall as possible. If you put the right handle on the Remix, that Mission will certainly be accomplished.

The Remix is one of the many new, extremely light head models out there now that are loaded with offensive design concepts and are directed and marketed almost exclusively to attack men at all levels of play.

With the Noz technology on the Remixers, we have little problem giving out a high rating for use and abuse by the midfield dude as well. We like the way the Noz plastic returns to its original molded form under all kinds of weather conditions and prolonged head stress.

THERE'S GOLD IN THEM THAR HILLS

The Remix might appeal to those club guys who still miss having that Warrior Blade as a head option. The Remix, we suspect, is a Renaissance shot for the 'flare' design that was once so popular.

Apparently you would be able to cash in on e-bay big time if you had a cache' of 2002 Warrior Blades lying around in a big box in the basement.

Face-off guys all swore by the Blade at one time. The top rail always made the head seem somehow closer to the ground than it really was, and this worked well at the face off X in the center of the field. The Blade was great for moshers that used the clamp move as their main maneuver on face-offs.

THOUGHTs FOR THE DAY - POCKET TALK

HEAD GAMES

It is hard to argue over what is or might be the most important piece of equipment in the lacrosse player's bag. If one loved to hit but had major concerns about concussions he might say his most important piece of playing equipment is the helmet and the protection that it affords.

In today's world no one wants anything to do with the phrase 'concussion-like symptoms', because those three words are almost automatic red flags that will put player on shelf for some time. Inside that equation the player will be administered endless 'baseline' tests before being cleared to return to action. These are physical examinations that determine how goofy-after-the-hit you still are.

When I played I am sure I had concussions aplenty, lots of us did, but no one ever stopped the music like they do today, and of course, we played on in most cases.

My final thought on modern concussion concern is that players and coaches really need to learn and teach not only good, but also smart hitting techniques. At the same time a mad scramble for a ground ball in lacrosse can find someone laid out in a hurry, and you can't always see it coming. Part of the physicality of the game of lacrosse is the survival part. It is not only 'dishing out'. The action of never letting the opposition get a full-on clean lick on you can count for a lot in the endurance aspect of any player.

STICK IT

In general, and however I guess, the stick for most players, and maybe even the pocket itself, stand unchallenged as the equipment 'chief', as in the most important playing piece that a player goes out to the field with. So many of us fell in love with the stick first, and all the fascinations and personal possibilities that came built in with that amazing 'tool' that is the lacrosse stick.

FALLING IN LOVE

For the most part lacrosse sticks can easily be made to throw well. To illustrate that point, tennis rackets have the ability to throw real good, with no whip and all that jazz. Then, on the other side of things, pockets can be bagged out to where they are still legal, but so deep that no matter how hard or fast one boogies around the ball almost never comes out or gets checked away. The fear and loathing for the team or the coach with this type of pocket is that players have a tendency to fall in love with the whole no-take-away thing and then lose sight of the fact that their passing and shooting consistency will suffer at the team's expense when a player's stick is not reliable and versatile because there is too much bag in the pocket. .

STICK RELIGION

The ideal is when one lacrosse player can 'marry' great holding potential of a cradling pocket to its perfect mate, which is a consistent, manageable ball release time and point. If this 'magic' mix potion all fit into one bottle for all time, every lacrosse player would keep a six-pack in the fridge.

In the final analysis you really just want to follow your stick around when you play. It knows where and how to go if you know when and how to listen and follow. Having days, minutes, or even seconds when I felt that I was chasing after my stick lives absolutely way high on the chart of Empowering Moments for me as a lacrosse player and as a lover of stick and game.

May your stick pursuit always be a joyful journey.

BY THE WAY

Inner peace and personal sanity alone are enough reason for all players to always have two sticks that are equally 'game ready'.
