# Nike L3 Head

  

The Nike L3 Lacrosse Head, a successor to the iconic Lakota line, carves its niche as a top-tier option for midfielders. Its tight face shape enhances control and accuracy, while the deep bottom rail facilitates a mid-to-high pocket ideal for quick releases. The PowerForm material boasts increased stiffness and durability, making it a reliable companion in any condition. This head caters to advanced players seeking versatility across passing, dodging, and ground balls.

  

While not the first foray for Nike into lacrosse, the L3 signifies a renewed focus on the sport. It leverages the brand's legacy of innovation, applying it to modern materials and designs. By building upon the success of the Lakota, Nike refines a popular choice for midfield dominance.

**Perfect head for:** elite midfielders

### Key Features Include

-   PowerForm material for increased stiffness and toughness
    
-   Tight face shape for control and accuracy
    
-   Optimal shape for ground ball play
    
-   Stringing favorite, deep mid-angle pocket setup
    
-   Short round throat allows you to get your hand very high on the lacrosse shaft
    

  

### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [STX Hyper Power](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/hyper-power/l168596) and the [StringKing Mark 2V](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2v/l760)

  

Designed for well-rounded midfielders, the Nike L3 finds itself competing with the STX Hyper Power and the StringKing Mark 2V, each offering distinct advantages on the field. The L3 prioritizes a lightweight design and a shallower pocket, making it ideal for quick transitions, ground ball pickups, and facilitating checks. The STX Hyper Power leans towards a stiffer pocket and wider face shape, excelling at generating powerful shots and holds for offensive plays. The StringKing Mark 2V takes a middle ground, featuring a mid-depth pocket and a balanced face shape, offering versatility for both offensive and defensive contributions, with good pocket customization options.

### Progression:

The Nike L3 is a rebranding of the Lakota 2 with a material upgrade. While the L3 retains the core features of the Lakota line, some players might not perceive a significant difference in feel or performance between the Lakota 2 and the L3. All three models are designed for offensive players and excel at quick release and accurate shooting.

  

[Original Nike Lakota](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/nike/lakota/l7061)

-   Lightweight and compact design provides extra ball security
    
-   Reinforced lower sidewall offers increased stiffness
    
-   Multiple stringing holes for a variety of setups
    
-   Built to universal specification for all levels of play
    

  

[Nike Lakota 2.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/nike/lakota-2/l604)

-   HyperLite™ Technology reduces the overall weight of the head
    
-   Secure Lacelock Technology along the sidewalls helps reinforce pocket tension
    
-   Narrow pinch face and offset enhance accuracy for pinpoint passes and shots
    
-   Optimized rounded scoop ensures easier groundball pick-up performance
    
-   Redesigned sidewalls boast greater stiffness for added durability and consistency
    

  

[Nike L3](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/nike/l3-2/l168650)

-   Changed from Lakota to L3, potentially signifying a new era for the design, but retaining the core features of the Lakota line.
    
-   Exclusive PowerForm material for increased stiffness and toughness
    
-   Tight face shape for control and accuracy
    
-   Stringing favorite for its deep mid-angle pocket setup
    
-   Short round throat allows you to get your hand very high on the lacrosse shaft
    

  

### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

  

PROS

-   I switched to the L3 from the old model, and it's a perfect upgrade. The plastic is lighter and stiffer, and the face shape is great. Although there are plenty of stringing holes, I wish the sidewall holes were slightly larger.
    
-   Can be strung in various ways to fit any pocket location (high to low). Suitable for traditional style. Feels stiff. If you liked Lakota 2, you'll love L3.
    
-   One of the best middie heads I have used. The offset and the face shape makes it perfect for a fast shooter.
    

  

CONS

-   I prefer a wide range of user reviews before making a purchase and I can’t hardly find anything useful about the L3.
    
-   Gotta spend the time to break this head in to achieve optimal performance.
    
-   Not my favorite head to string up.
    

  

### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports))

  

The Nike L3 brings a new design to one of Nike’s most popular heads. The Lakota line is for the elite midfielder. It has a tighter face shape designed for greater control and accuracy. This head lets you rip lasers or dish dimes. The head is made with Nike’s Powerform material to ensure stiffness and durability and has an optimal shape for ground balls.
