"Listen, 'FREEBIRD' isn't for the guys playing it safe. I built this for the shooters. The Mark 3V is a stiff, technical head, and when you pair it with that Freedom mesh, it just looks fast. I went with the triple-stack white shooters to give it that extra 'tug' at the end of the shot. If you’re looking to blow some doors off from the restraining line, this is your stick. It’s loud, it’s proud, and it’s ready to fly." — Sarge
The Build
- Head: StringKing Mark 3V (White) – Engineered for the versatile offensive player, featuring an ultra-stiff construction and a refined scoop for effortless ground balls.
- Mesh: ECD Hero 3.0 Freedom Edition – Limited run Red, White, and Blue "Striker" mesh featuring Repel 74 technology for all-weather consistency.
- Sidewall: Mixed Tactical Cord (Red/Blue/White) – Sarge used alternating sidewall colors to match the mesh gradient, maintaining a deep, stable mid-pocket.
- Top String: The "Liberty-Lock" (White) – A high-tension interlock that pulls the Freedom mesh tight to the scoop for immediate energy transfer.
- Shooters: Triple White Braided – A heavy-hitting triple-stack that provides maximum surface area contact for a snappy, high-velocity release.
Performance Profile
- Pocket Position: Mid (The "Shooter’s" sweet spot—balanced for power from the wing and accuracy on the run).
- Channel: Narrow/High-Definition – The "Striker" rows in the Freedom mesh act as a physical guide, funnelling the ball to the center of the scoop.
- Whip Level: 3.5/5 (Significant Hold; the triple shooters allow the player to "load" the stick for maximum whip and shot speed).
- Maintenance: Low – StringKing heads and ECD mesh are the industry standard for "string it and forget it" durability.
