# ECD Lacrosse Ion Head


The ECD Lacrosse Ion Head positions itself as the weapon of choice for the lightning-fast attacker. ECD, known for pushing boundaries in lacrosse equipment, designed the Ion with patented Diamond Plastic, boasting exceptional lightness and durability. The head's aerodynamic design and tight face shape minimize wind resistance and enhance control, allowing for effortless speed and pinpoint shooting. ECD recommends a mid-low pocket for the Ion, optimizing ball handling and quick releases.

The Ion marks a significant step in ECD's commitment to innovation and performance. It caters to a specific niche of offensive players who prioritize speed and agility, pushing the boundaries of offensive strategy. This targeted approach complements ECD's existing product line, solidifying its reputation as a brand that constantly seeks to advance the game of lacrosse by providing unique solutions for different playing styles.


 **Perfect head for:** the lightning-fast attacker


### Key Features Include



* ECD's Diamond Plastic with see-through aesthetics, enhanced durability, and lightweight
* Designed with a tight face shape for increased aerodynamics
* Developed for the perfect mid-low pocket
* Ergonomic throat allows for increased ball control
* Made in the USA


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [Maverik Optik 3.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/optik-3-0/l165698) and the [STX Surgeon 900](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/surgeon-900/l65241)

Carving a space in the offensive arena, the ECD Ion Head takes on established contenders like the Maverik Optik 3.0 and STX Surgeon 900, each offering distinct advantages. The Maverik Optik 3.0 champions customization with its interchangeable faceplate technology, allowing players to tailor the pocket to their preferences. It boasts a mid-pocket design suitable for both powerful shots and controlled passing. The STX Surgeon 900, on the other hand, caters to players who value traditional pocket feel and precise passing. Its wider face shape and deeper pocket offer optimal hold and control over the ball, making it ideal for those who prioritize pinpoint accuracy. The ECD Ion stands out for its lightweight design and focus on speed, making it a great choice for fast-paced offensive players. Its tight face shape and mid-low pocket encourage quick releases and powerful throws on the run. 


### Progression:

While the Ion doesn't have a directly traceable predecessor, it benefits from ECD's existing knowledge, player feedback, and understanding of the attack lacrosse head market.


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

Pros: 



* The Ion feels light and well-balanced. It allows for fast shots and accurate passing and catching. Cradling is comfortable.
* Surprisingly great. The clear plastic really looks awesome. Doesn’t feel brittle like the older clear plastic heads including the DNA diamond.
* This head has all the best qualities of the Maverik Optik 3.0 with an even tighter release. 

Cons: 



* I like this head - it's light and performs great. But, it's too fragile. I've had two breaks in 8 months at the throat. If it were more durable, it'd be the best ever.
* Used this new lacrosse head in college practice and after 7-8 months it cracked near the throat. Love the color and design but not perfect yet.
* It's been working okay for me. Was not easy at first to string the right pocket.


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

The Ion is ECD’s lightest head on the market and is designed for quick attackmen. ECD features a new design with the Ion, the Diamond Plastic, which is their new see-through durable plastic. The face of this head was designed to be more aerodynamic and the sidewall holes set up the perfect mid-low pocket.
