Jake Naso
#56 -- Duke University -- Faceoff Midfielder
Why I Use JackalJaw:
-
"It's as much a performance piece for me as a safety piece. I feel like it allows me to play my best game and not worry about anything else."
-
"Guys are coming in off the wings, this keeps my helmet centered and stable."
-
"This is my second year using Jackal."
-
"I can keep my eyes on the ball, giving my team the best chance to gain possession."
-
"There have definitely been some times where I've gotten hit running down the teeth of the defense, and I don't have to worry about my helmet coming off or the contact because I know my helmet will be secure."
-
"The materials have some flex and give, absorbing contact really well."
-
"Jackal Jaw gives me more of a snug fit."
-
"In the scrum, I can sell out on plays and get up with my helmet on straight."
"It's as much a performance piece for me as a safety piece. I feel like it allows me to play my best game and not worry about anything else."
