### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* This helmet is perfect and super comfortable. It feels really snug on my head and neck. I also really like the quick clip, unlike the other xrs. The magnet only releases when pulled down. Easy to put on with gloves.
* I have had most Cascade helmets and this is by far the best yet. Not since the Pro 7 have I had a helmet that protected the back of my head.
* I am using it as a goalie and I have no complaints. Fits true to size, feels amazing, and looks great.

CONS: 



* Love the Cascade helmets, but wish they had a size in between Youth and Adult. My son has just about outgrown his youth helmet, and this adult helmet says he should fit, but the adult is still too large.
* Considering the price it is better if you are pursuing higher levels and not necessarily for those who are just starting. It is a little difficult to adjust the straps yourself so I would recommend having someone like a coach, teammate, friend, etc help
* Pricey, especially if you customize it.

If you're a serious player demanding top-of-the-line protection without feeling weighed down, the XRS Pro is a great helmet. It has the multi-layered Tri-Liner Plus system to absorb every check and shot, but it also feels ridiculously light.

The pro model features the BalancePoint Technology, which shifts the center of gravity for a balanced, secure fit that won't wobble around. Its an overall great helmet.

### Top competitors comparison: the [Cascade S](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/cascade/s-61/l855) and the [STX Rival](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/stx/rival-5/l7661)

The Cascade XRS and Cascade S Lacrosse Helmets both feature the most advanced impact absorption technology. The STX Rival offers a good fit and improved ventilation, while also being affordable.

### Progression:

The XRS is an upgraded version of the popular Cascade S helmet. The S helmet features increased vision that sits slightly higher and allows a better up and down field of vision. The Cascade S, introduced the Jawbone, which is a single piece of plastic that extends from the chin back towards the ear and is designed to mitigate impact on the side of the head.

The XRS has also improved the airflow and weight distribution of the helmet and has upgraded their customization options, allowing for five customizable zones resulting in 9.6 million color combinations. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS: 



* This helmet is a tank. I feel completely confident and protected on the field with the XRS on. The multi-liner system and high-density foam absorb impacts like crazy. Haven't had any stingers or headaches since switching to this helmet.
* For a high-protection helmet, the XRS is surprisingly lightweight and comfortable. It doesn't weigh me down at all, and the 360 fit system ensures a snug but pressure-free feel.
* Being able to personalize your helmet with different shells, visors, and chin straps is a big deal for me. The XRS lets you do just that and create a helmet that reflects your style.

CONS:



* The XRS is definitely on the expensive side compared to some other helmets on the market.
* Finding the perfect fit can be a challenge with the XRS. The sizing system was weird. 
* The base model visor might not be ideal for outdoor games on bright days. Consider the extra cost if you need a visor with more sun protection.


### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround)) 

The XRS helmet features the Tri-Liner system that combines multiple foam densities for impact absorption. This might sound heavy, but the XRS is surprisingly lightweight, thanks to the shell design. It distributes weight evenly, so you'll barely notice you have it on, which is a major plus for those long games. Overall, the XRS is a top performer that feels light and secure, letting you focus on your game without worrying about your helmet.

# Cascade S Lacrosse Helmets

### Product Description: 

The Cascade S lacrosse helmet represents a leap forward in design and technology for Cascade. This helmet is designed for attackers and midfielders who prioritize a balance of protection and comfort. The biggest upgrade is the wide-open visibility. The S sits slightly higher and allows a much better up-and-down field of vision. The Tri-Liner system combined with the Supermono™ S shell creates the ideal protection package. The S is also super lightweight and breathable, thanks to ventilation ports where cool air flows in and out the rear XFLO exhaust. Building on Cascade's legacy of customization, the S allows for a 360° contoured fit that can be micro-adjusted on the fly.


### Perfect helmet for:

advanced players in high school, college, or professional leagues, who prioritize top-of-the-line protection, comfort, and vision on the field. 


### Key features include:



* GEN4 EPP manages variable force impacts specific to the front of the helmet and face mask.

### Top competitors comparison: the [Warrior Burn](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/warrior/burn-14/l12316) and the [STX Rival](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/stx/rival-5/l7661)

While the Cascade S is a top contender, both the Warrior Burn and STX Rival offer strong competition. The Warrior Burn prioritizes traditional impact absorption with a focus on key zones, while the STX Rival boasts a budget-friendly price tag and a comfortable, adjustable fit achieved through its Sure-Fit Air System. On the field, all three helmets prioritize safety with certifications from NOCSAE and SEI. Ultimately, choosing between them depends on your budget and whether you prioritize a customizable fit or superior ventilation, a strength of the Cascade S.


### Progression:

The Cascade S helmet wasn't the first chapter in Cascade's line. It succeeded the Cascade R, marking a significant leap in design and functionality. Here's a breakdown of the progression:

**Pre-R Era:** Cascade's journey began with the original Cascade helmet, a major upgrade from traditional leather buckets. It offered a sleek design and more protection for the face. Models like C2 and CLH2 followed, refining the shape and introducing the now-familiar visor design.

**[CPX-R](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/cascade/cpx-r/l857):** This helmet introduced the "tail fin" design element still seen in Cascade helmets today. It also boasted a new liner system and a downward-sloping face mask for better visibility and aesthetics.

**[Cascade R](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/cascade/r/l856):** This helmet was built upon the CPX-R's foundation with several key upgrades, including a seven-technology liner system that effectively disperses impact energy throughout the helmet, a more customizable fit system, and a sleek and streamlined look that became a signature of Cascade helmets.

**[Cascade S](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/cascade/s-61/l855):** Surpassing the R, the Cascade S reigns supreme as one of Cascade's top-of-the-line offerings. It builds upon the R's success with further advancements including:



* An even more refined version of the Seven Technology liner system and introduces SmartShock technology, which strategically manages impact across different areas of the helmet.
* The S takes customization to a new level with an improved fit system that allows for personalized adjustments for optimal comfort and protection.
* A redesigned shell with enhanced ventilation channels for maximum breathability during intense play.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* The Cascade S is the most comfortable helmet I've ever worn. The Tri-Liner system really conforms to my head, and the sizing dial lets me get a nice, snug fit without any pressure points.
* My son plays attack and just switched to the Cascade S this season. It's a night and day difference from his old helmet. He says it feels much lighter, which helps him with dodging and moving around quickly. The padding feels really secure too.
* I've been using the Cascade S for two seasons now, and I can't say enough good things about it. The protection is top-notch. I've taken some pretty good shots to the head over the years, and I've never felt anything. The helmet does a great job of absorbing the impact. 

CONS: 




* The biggest downside to the Cascade S is the price. It's definitely one of the more expensive helmets on the market. However, I do believe you get what you pay for. 
* Sizing can be a bit tricky with the Cascade S. I had to order two different sizes to find the right fit.

     

* It's a bit on the higher end in terms of price, and some younger players might not need all the bells and whistles that this helmet offers.


### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround)) 

The Cascade S is a good helmet for any level. My kid—he's eight—loves his S. One thing to note is that all youth Cascades helmets are slightly smaller than the adults. The one-piece shell and visor create a pretty rigid helmet to manage impacts. They also moved the center of gravity to the middle of the crown, keeping its weight balanced and aligned.

### Top competitors comparison: the [Warrior Burn Jr](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/warrior/burn-14/l12316) and the [Cascade Youth S](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/cascade/s-61/age-youth/l179276)

Though all three cater to young players and prioritize safety with certifications, the Cascade CS-R, Warrior Burn Jr, and Cascade Youth S offer distinct advantages: The CS-R reigns supreme in popularity for its comfortable memory foam fit and increased visibility with a 3-bar design. The Warrior Burn Jr prioritizes impact absorption with a combination of foam liners, similar to the CPX-R for adults. Finally, the Cascade Youth S boasts a sleek design and a budget-friendly price point, making it a good choice for young players starting out.


### Progression:

The Cascade CS-R is the first helmet of its kind. Never before has a company aimed to provide an elite-level youth helmet for the U-12 age group. Using the feedback from its predecessors, the original CS and the Cascade R helmet, Cascade created the CS-R with innovative tech, including a Gen 3 EPP Liner, a full pivoting system, FutureStar Mono Shell, and unlimited customization features.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS



* This helmet is perfect for my growing lacrosse player. The adjustable straps and padding ensure a snug but comfortable fit.
* Being lightweight is a big deal for younger players. This helmet doesn't weigh them down, allowing kids to focus on the game. 
* The padding seems thick enough to absorb any bumps or falls my son might encounter on the field.

CONS:



* While the straps are adjustable, I wish there were more options for fine-tuning the fit. My son has a narrower head, and it took some effort to get it feeling just right.
* For the price, I would have liked to see a better sizing system that caters to a wider range of head shapes.
* This helmet seems perfect for younger kids just starting out, but my 12-year-old son is going to need something more substantial as his skills increase.


### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround)) 

The CS-R is perfect for players under 12 years old. Its key features are quality foam for impact absorption and memory foam side fits for a snug feel. This differs from adult helmets with thicker padding, ensuring the CS-R stays lightweight. However, this lighter padding system might not be ideal for older or more aggressive players who need top-level protection.

Today's young players have strong options in the Warrior Burn Jr and Cascade S Youth. All three lacrosse helmets prioritize safety with certifications, but target different aspects of the game: the CPV-R, features a multi-layered liner system, offering a balanced approach to protection. Today's Warrior Burn Jr echoes this focus with a combination of foams, while the Cascade S Youth prioritizes a sleek design and comfort features like a memory foam fit system, making it a great choice for young players starting out.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS: 



* My son has a larger-than-average head. He is age 11, and we ordered the largest Youth size. It was snug, but not too tight. I like that it has an adjustment button on the back of the helmet.
* Despite his small head, my son finds this helmet sits perfectly, does not wobble, and does not obstruct his vision during play.
* I bought this helmet for my son to use for practicing in the off-season. It is solidly constructed, lightweight, and excellent quality.

CONS: 



* I only wish there was an available size larger than M/L that wasn't a custom order. I have several kids on my team who require larger helmets.
* Only issue is that Cascade doesn' make a L/XL for kids with bigger heads.
* The only complaint my son has is of the chin strap. Although we've adjusted it, its too tight and leaves an indentation on his chin.


### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround)) 

Stepping up from the original CPV, the CPV-R is an excellent pick for advancing youth players. It's a perfect helmet for young attackers and midfielders on the rise. It has a dial-adjust system that lets you fine-tune the tightness. No more helmet bouncing around during ground ball scrambles! It's also well-ventilated, a significant plus for keeping cool under pressure.

CPV-R

The Cascade R Lacrosse Helmet falls right in line with Cascade's commitment to constant improvement.

A key selling point is the adjustable "R" fit system, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit for a wide range of head sizes. It also boasts the innovative "R" design, a sleeker and more aerodynamic evolution of the "tail fin" featured on prior Cascade helmets. The Cascade R represents a stepping stone between previous iterations and the cutting-edge technology of the Cascade S, making it a great choice for players seeking a balance between affordability, advanced features, and the Cascade legacy of excellence.

### Top competitors comparison: the [Warrior Burn](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/warrior/burn-14/l12316) Lacrosse Helmet and the [STX Rival](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/stx/rival-5/l7661)

Stacked against competitors Warrior Burn and STX Rival, the Cascade R holds its own as a mid-range option. While the Warrior Burn boasts advanced padding focused on high-impact areas and the STX Rival offers great value with its adjustable fit system, the Cascade R strikes a balance between protection and affordability. All three helmets meet safety certifications and will perform well on the field. The deciding factor might come down to whether you prioritize a customized fit (STX Rival) or advanced padding technology (Warrior Burn).


### Progression:

The Cascade R helmet wasn't the first in Cascade's line. It succeeded the Cascade CPX-R, marking a significant leap in design and functionality. Here's a breakdown of the progression:

**Pre-R Era:** Cascade's journey began with the original Cascade helmet, a major upgrade from traditional leather buckets. It offered a sleek design and more protection for the face. Models like C2 and CLH2 followed, refining the shape and introducing the now-familiar visor design.

**[Cascade R](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/cascade/r/l856):** Here's where the R takes center stage. It built upon the CPX-R's foundation with several key upgrades:



* **Enhanced Protection:** The R incorporated Cascade's Seven Technology liner system, which effectively disperses impact energy throughout the helmet. It also featured Poron XRD foam, a material known for absorbing high-energy hits.
* **Improved Fit:** The R offered a more customizable fit system compared to its predecessor.
* **Modern Design:** The R sported a sleek and streamlined look that became a signature of Cascade helmets.

While the Cascade S helmet has since surpassed the R as Cascade's top-of-the-line offering, the R remains a popular choice for players seeking a balance between protection, affordability, and a classic Cascade design.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS



* This Cascade R is a tank. I play attack and take a lot of hard hits, but I feel completely confident with this helmet on. The Poron foam is incredible - it absorbs impact like crazy.
* The sizing system is super easy to use, and the liner conforms to your head perfectly. No pressure points, and no sloppy movement…it feels like it was custom-made for me. 
* The moisture-wicking liner does a great job of keeping my head cool and dry, even during the most intense games. Plus, the ear shells are comfortable and don't press down on my ears at all, which is a big deal for me. 

CONS



* The Cascade R is definitely on the heavier side compared to some other helmets i’ve used. It's not a huge deal for me, but some players might find it a little bulky, especially attack or midfielders who need maximum mobility.
* This helmet is a top-of-the-line piece of equipment, and the price reflects that. It's definitely an investment. If you're a casual player or just starting out, there might be more affordable options available that offer a good balance of protection and price.
* The customization options seem a bit limited compared to some other high-end helmets on the market.


### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround)) 

Many kids upgrade to the top-of-the-line Cascade R helmet when they reach JV or Varsity levels. It's a good helmet for any player who wants top-of-the-line protection. The venting system is good and keeps the head cool during intense games. The mask design offers an excellent downward field of view, crucial for scooping up ground balls.

CONS:

  

-   While the straps are adjustable, it’s still not the most customizable fit, especially for my younger son who has a more narrower head.
    

  

-   A wide adjustment range means the helmet can result in slight looseness, which can be corrected by adding a little foam a the sides. Inserts of this type ought to be standard.
    

  

-   One of my sons complained that the inside padding was moving around.
    

### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround))

  

I like the foam in the CS; it really absorbs impact without feeling bulky. It makes for a lightweight helmet that helps with sprints or quick cuts. The adjustable fit system allows you to personalize the tightness for a secure, locked-in feel. While the CS might not have all the bells and whistles of Cascade's top-of-the-line models, it prioritizes what matters most – keeping you protected and comfortable.

# Cascade CPX-R Lacrosse Helmets

The Cascade CPX-R Lacrosse Helmet stands as a testament to Cascade's focus on innovation for the developing player. This best-selling helmet bridges the gap between youth and elite models. One of its key selling points is the adjustable SPRfit system, which allows for a perfect fit throughout a player's growth spurts. The CPX-R also incorporates the "tail fin" design, a signature Cascade innovation that enhances weight distribution and balance for young athletes.  This helmet sits within the Cascade legacy as a major advancement from earlier models, offering significant protection and adjustability for the crucial youth and high school lacrosse stages.


### Perfect helmet  for:

all active players between the ages of 11-14 and high school players as well


### Key features include:



* A high-performance liner for absorbing forceful impacts paired with a comfort liner for mitigating low-energy hits
* A personalized and secure fit through the CPX fit system, which integrates an adjustable head pad for optimal comfort and safety. 
* A strategically positioned second vision bar that expands the player's field of view without compromising protection. 
* Maintains airflow and comfort with vents that allow for heat and moisture to escape. 


### Top competitors comparison: the [Warrior Burn Jr](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/warrior/burn-14/l12316) and the [STX Rival Jr](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/stx/rival-5/l7661) 

Despite the Cascade CPX-R's enduring presence, the Warrior Burn Jr and STX Rival Jr offer strong options for young players today. All three meet safety standards, but the CPX-R takes a balanced approach with a traditional design, adjustable fit, and multi-layered impact absorption. The Warrior Burn Jr mirrors this focus on protection through its combination of foams, while the STX Rival Jr prioritizes affordability and adjustability, similar to the adult STX Stallion, making it a great choice for a comfortable, budget-friendly fit for growing athletes.


### Progression:

The Cascade CPX-R wasn't the first iteration in Cascade's lacrosse helmet legacy, but it was a significant step forward in design and functionality. Here's a look at the progression leading up to the CPX-R:

**Pre-CPX-R Era:** Cascade's journey began with its original helmet, a major leap from traditional leather head protection. This helmet offered a more streamlined design and increased facial protection. Subsequent models like the C2 and CLH2 continued to refine the shape and introduce the now-familiar visor design.

**[Cascade CPX-R](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/cascade/cpx-r/l857):** This helmet marked a turning point for Cascade, introducing several key upgrades:



* **Inspired Design:** The CPX-R drew inspiration from the automotive industry, evident in its sleek lines and distinctive "tail fin" design element, which is still used in the most current Cascade models.
* **Enhanced Protection:** The CPX-R boasts a revamped liner system for better impact absorption. Although not the original Seven Technology liner system seen in later models, it represented a step forward in safety.
* **Improved Visibility:** Compared to earlier models, the CPX-R features a downward-sloping face mask. This improves a player's field of view without sacrificing protection.

The CPX-R builds upon the foundation laid by Cascade's earlier helmets, focusing on improved aesthetics, better protection, and enhanced player experience. It paved the way for the introduction of the Cascade R, which further refined the design and incorporated Cascade's innovative Seven Technology liner system for superior impact management.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* My son wore the CPX-R to a game last weekend and loves it. He says he can see better, and it fits better than the helmet we had on loan from our program. He also says he was less "sweaty" in this helmet. Awesome helmet at a great price.
* This helmet is excellent for my 10 year old. It’s comfortable, fits securely, and definitely protects her face and head. Definitely recommend.
* I have a small head. The CPV-R feels smaller than the CPV which I like. Overall, I like the CPV-R better, the fit is more snug, and the peripheral vision is great. 

CONS: 



* A bit expensive for a youth helmet, but all good lacrosse equipment seems to be pricey these days. 
* ⁦The only issue is that Cascade doesn't make a L/XL for kids with bigger heads. They assume only the smaller kids play lacrosse so there is no need to make them?? Other then that the helmet is nice but a little pricey.
* After about a month of owning this helmet, the padding behind my head folded up and fell off.


### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround)) 

The CPX-R is a very light helmet. It has less protection than the higher-end models, especially in head-to-head collisions. An eight-year-old isn't going to get hit by a 200-pounder, so they don't need all the extra materials that adult helmets have. Also, there is no sizing with the CPX-R, as the helmet has a pinch-able adjustment feature at the base of the neck.

# Cascade CS Youth Lacrosse Helmets


### Product Description

The Cascade CS Youth Lacrosse Helmet represents an earlier generation of Cascade's youth offerings, preceding the more advanced CS-R. While the CS-R caters specifically to U12 players, the CS is suitable for a slightly younger age group. The CS helmet prioritizes affordability and basic protection for beginners. One of its key selling points is the Full Pivot System, which allows for a quick and easy adjustment to achieve a secure, customized fit.  The CS maintains Cascade's commitment to safety by incorporating a Gen3 EPP liner system that meets lacrosse standards. Within Cascade's history, the CS bridges the gap between basic equipment and feature-rich helmets designed for older age groups.


### Perfect helmet  for:

the youngest lacrosse players


### Key features include:



* Fit Switch® technology for an instant fit.
* Full Pivot System for quick, secure adjustability.
* Monocoque Shell for ultralight protection.


### Top competitors comparison: The [Warrior Burn](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/warrior/burn-14/l12316) Jr and the [STX Rival](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/stx/rival-5/l7661) Jr 

The Cascade CS Youth Lacrosse Helmet prioritizes comfort and ease of use for beginners. It features a lightweight shell, memory foam padding, and a 3-bar design for maximum visibility. The Warrior Burn Jr and STX Rival Jr focus on a balance between protection and a comfortable fit. The Warrior Burn Jr. utilizes its own multi-impact liner and adjustable straps for a secure feel. The STX Rival Jr features an air pump system for a snug fit and a more traditional shell design. 


### Progression:

The Cascade CS Youth Lacrosse Helmet represents an earlier generation of Cascade's youth offerings, preceding the more advanced CS-R. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS: 



* The CSt is a fantastic value for the price. It offers good protection, a comfortable fit, and a lightweight design, all at a price point that's perfect for young players or parents on a budget.
* My son just started lacrosse this year, and the CS is the perfect first helmet for him. It's lightweight, comfortable, and easy to adjust. Plus, it offers enough protection for those inevitable bumps and bruises that come with learning the game.
* My daughter gets really hot during games, so a lightweight, breathable helmet was a must-have. The CS fits the bill perfectly. It's comfortable and doesn't weigh her down, and the ventilation seems good at keeping her head cool.

CONS:



* The sizing options seem a bit limited, especially for younger kids with narrower heads. Finding the right fit took some trial and error.
* The CS is a good basic helmet, but as your child's skills and competition level increase, they might eventually need a helmet with more advanced features and protection.
* While the basic black-and-white options are classic, a few more color choices would be nice for younger players who like to have fun with their equipment.


### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround)) 

While the Cascade CS Youth Lacrosse Helmet might seem like a budget-friendly option, it's essential to know it caters to a very specific age group. This helmet is ideal for beginners or younger players (typically under 10 years old) due to its simplified sizing system and lighter weight. The trade-off for the lower price point is a less protective liner system compared to Cascade's higher-end options.

# Cascade CPV Lacrosse Helmets


### Product Description:

The Cascade CPV Lacrosse Helmet falls within the brand's tradition of offering high-quality protective equipment at accessible prices. It represents an entry or mid-range option within Cascade's helmet lineup. The CPV prioritizes comfort and a good fit for young, developing players.  It features an adjustable sizing system to accommodate growth spurts and a lightweight design that won't weigh down smaller athletes. While the CPV offers decent protection, it might not be suitable for the highest levels of competitive play. This focus on affordability and adjustability makes the CPV a solid choice for beginners or players in youth leagues, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit at a reasonable price point. It reflects Cascade's understanding that a good helmet is essential for fostering confidence and encouraging participation in the sport.


### Perfect helmet for:

younger players, typically ages 9-13


### Key features include:



* SPRfit™ system for a better 360 degree contoured fit.
* Anatomical EPP / dovetail liner system for high-level protection.
* Slight V-shape, Chevron Mask for increased downward vision.


### Top competitors comparison: the [Cascade CPV-R](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/cascade/cpv-r/l7439) and the [Warrior Burn](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/warrior/burn-14/l12316)

The Cascade CPV prioritizes a secure, personalized fit. It features the 3-point BOA fit system and focuses on comfort through strategically placed pads. This system caters to players who value a precise fit to maximize their performance. The Cascade CPV-R also has a multi-layered liner system for reliable protection but utilizes a traditional lace-up closure system. The Warrior Burn has its own multi-impact liner and a combined BOA dial and adjustable strap system. This combination is similar to the Cascade CPV and CPV-R but might appeal to players who prioritize safety. 


### Progression:

There isn't a confirmed predecessor of the CPV. Cascade's lacrosse helmet history involved earlier models like the C2, which offered a more modern shape with an attached visor compared to even earlier leather styles. Cascade tweaks and improves materials, fit systems, and ventilation across its entire range without necessarily distinguishing between adult and youth models. The focus for the CPV is on maintaining a good value for younger players while incorporating some of the protective features from higher-end Cascade helmets.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS:



* For the price, the CPV is a fantastic option for younger players. It's a significant upgrade from the basic helmets that come in starter kits, and it won't break the bank
* My daughter loves her CPV. It's comfortable to wear and feels much lighter than her old helmet. She says it doesn't rub or cause any pressure points
* The CPV has an adjustable sizing system that's great for growing kids. I can adjust the straps and padding to ensure a snug but comfortable fit as my son grows

CONS: 



* The ventilation in the CPV could be better. Especially on hot days, it causes my head to feel a bit sweaty.
* I​​t’s not the most exciting for younger players who want to personalize their gear.
* This is a great starter helmet, but as your child's skills and competition level increase, they might eventually need a helmet with more advanced protection features.


### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround)) 

The Cascade CPV is an excellent choice if you're a young attacker or midfielder looking for a helmet that won't weigh you down. The CPV sits at a comfortable price point for a lacrosse helmet and delivers a lightweight, sleek design. The shell keeps things cool with its venting system, and the adjustable fit lets you find a sweet spot that won't wobble around during dodges or cuts. It might not have the most advanced padding system, but the CPV is a winner for comfort and value.

Stallion 1K

# STX Stallion 1K Head

The STX Stallion 1K Lacrosse Head is at the forefront of the brand's elite midfield lineup. Building on the success of the original Stallion, designed by NCAA champion Kyle Harrison, the 1K boasts several improvements for the modern game. EnduraForm™ material enhances durability and stiffness, while the Speed Scoop™ facilitates easier ground ball pickups from any angle. The head also features a deeper legal offset, which is said to improve ball feel and retention.

The Stallion 1K represents the latest chapter in a long lineage of successful midfield heads from STX. It maintains the core values of versatility and performance that established the Stallion's reputation while incorporating modern materials and design elements to cater to the demands of today's elite midfielders. 


 **Perfect head for:** elite midfielders 


### Key Features Include



* EnduraForm™ - a proprietary material for improved toughness
* Speed Scoop™ for easier groundballs, regardless of the angle of attack
* Deepest legal offset increases ball feel and retention


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [String King Mark 2V](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2v/l760) and the [ECD Mirage 2.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/east-coast-dyes/mirage-2-0/l164123)

The STX Stallion 1K, known for its aggressive pocket and power-focused design, faces competition from the StringKing Mark 2V and ECD Mirage 2.0 in the offensive midfield space. The StringKing Mark 2V boasts a mid-pocket that offers a balance between shooting power and controlled passing, making it a versatile option for offensive plays. Additionally, its stiff construction allows for a strong hold on the ball during powerful shots. The ECD Mirage 2.0, on the other hand, leans towards a more traditional pocket design with a wider face shape and deeper pocket. This prioritizes optimal hold and control over the ball, ideal for players who value precise passing and pocket feel. Compared to these, the STX Stallion 1K stands out with its aggressive mid-high pocket designed for maximizing power in shots. Its wider face shape also facilitates strong cradling, but it might offer less control on finesse plays compared to the Mark 2V or Mirage 2.0.


### Progression:

The STX Stallion Lacrosse Head has seen several iterations over the years, each aiming to improve upon the previous model in terms of performance and features.



* Original STX Stallion: This model was the first model of the STX Stallion. The head was designed in collaboration with lacrosse legend Kyle Harrison, this head offered a traditional pocket depth and a wide face shape. 


* [STX Stallion 500](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/stallion-u-500/color-multi/l364715): The 500 model introduced a deeper pocket to improve ball control and cradle security. It also features a slightly narrower face shape for better handling and passing. 


* [STX Stallion 700](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/stallion-700/l723): The Stallion 700 built upon its predecessor by incorporating EnduraForm material for enhanced toughness and consistency. It also features an improved scooping pocket for easier ground ball pickups. 


* STX Stallion 750: This model introduced C-Channel technology for increased strength and stability. It also offered a wider variety of stringing options for greater pocket customization. 


* STX Stallion 800: The Stallion 800 saw the introduction of SpeedScoop technology, designed to make ground ball pickups even easier from various angles. It also featured a deeper legal offset for improved ball feel and retention. 


* [STX Stallion 900](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/stx/stallion-900/l165638): The 900 model continued the trend of improved pocket customization with optimized stringing hole placement. It also maintained the EnduraForm material for durability and the SpeedScoop technology for efficient ground ball scooping.

 
* [STX Stallion 1K](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/stallion-1k/l316969): The latest iteration, the Stallion 1K, boasts a redesigned SpeedScoop for even better ground ball acquisition. It also features the Innerlock technology for easier stringing on the inside rail, allowing for more personalized pocket configurations. 




### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* This head was meant to be my backup, but now I use it as my starter. I highly recommend it for offensive players, especially attackmen. It's perfect!
* Good control up close or running from X, but compared to Kinetik 3, the ball sails high/wide from >20ft out. Tough for sweeping alley attacks.
* Throws great and I have great control with the ball.

CONS



* It does feel a bit stiffer in the top section...definitely stiffer than the 900
* Compared to other competitor heads, the Stallion 1K offers fewer sidewall stringing holes.
* I understand this is a high-end midfield head, but it’s a bit pricey compared to what else is out there. 


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

The Stallion 1K is the top midfielder head for sure. It's based on the original Stallion design that pro player Kyle Harrison used and designed for that two-way midfielder. The 1K has an improved stiffness, shape retention, and an updated scoop. PLL rookie, Nick Nakeie Montgomery, who ranked 28th in Duke history in career points, also uses this head. I like this head because it can be used both on the offensive side of midfield and the defensive side. It weighs in at about 4.7 oz, making it lighter than the current ECD DNA 2.0, StringKing Mark 2V, and Mark 2T.

### Top competitors comparison: the [Warrior Burn](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/warrior/burn-14/l12316) and the [Cascade S](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/cascade/s-61/l855) 

The STX Rival Lacrosse Helmet offers a secure dial-fit system and a comfortable liner, while also presenting a balanced option for those prioritizing security and comfort. The Cascade S features the BOA system for a micro-adjustable fit. The Warrior Burn prioritizes comfort with its AdaptFit720 system, allowing for a wider range of head shapes. All three helmets are top tier lacrosse helmets offering excellent protection and comfort. 


### Progression:

Retaining some of the same similarities as the Stallion 550 and the STX Stallion, the Rival helmet was designed with more aggressive styling hoping to appeal to the masses.The STX Rival Helmet is a huge upgrade from previous STX helmets. It includes a sleek design, 70% better ventilation, a Sure-Fit air system pump on the back to adjust the fit on the fly, and a nice fitted comfort liner. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS: 



* Ventilation and on-the-fly air adjustment are a great addition to this model. I added a visor just to give it a little more intimidating look. I definitely would buy another one.
* This is the first custom helmet I bought for my daughter, who is a goalie and entering high school. The helmet fits great and is more comfortable than early stallion models.
* For the price, the STX Rival is a great value. It's a step up from the most basic helmets but without the high price tag of some top-tier options.

CONS: 



* The Rival's color selection is a bit boring compared to some other helmets on the market. There aren't many options.
* The Rival doesnt offer the most advanced protection technology compared to higher-end helmets.
* It might take some trial and error to find a good fit.


### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround)) 

Lacrosse players looking for a light and airy helmet on the field should consider the STX Rival. This helmet features an innovative air system, which basically has a built-in pump you can use to adjust the fit for a snug feel throughout the game. No more messing around with pads or straps! The padding is not the most robust on the market, so if you're a super-aggressive player, consider a helmet with a thicker padding system.

Pro-7

# Cascade Pro-7 Lacrosse Helmets


###  Product Description:  


Building on Cascade’s reputation for excellence, the Pro-7 prioritizes superior protection for defenders and attack players in competitive leagues. This helmet incorporates Cascade's innovative "Seven Technology" liner system, designed to manage the impact forces associated with high-speed collisions and ground balls. It boasts high-density foam for ultimate shock absorption. Despite its emphasis on protection, the Pro-7 achieves a remarkable balance by being lightweight and comfortable. Furthermore, the Pro-7 carries on the Cascade tradition of customization with a wide range of color and design options, allowing players to match their team's aesthetics or personalize their gear. 


### Perfect helmet for:

serious players who demand the best in protection, comfort, and personalization

* Cascade’s S7 Liner System is designed to manage high-impact hits and absorb low-energy impacts through VN foam. 
* An adjustable occipital cradle pad and a BOA dial that ensures a comfortable fit. 
* Wideview face mask provides a larger viewing area with compromising protection
* Moisture-wicking liner helps regulate sweat and keeps players cool.
* A SuperMono Shell Design uses the shell itself as a stress member to manage frontal impacts and distribute weight. 


### Top competitors comparison: the [Warrior Burn](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/warrior/burn-14/l12316) and the [STX Rival](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/lacrosse-helmets/stx/rival-5/l7661) 

The Cascade Pro-7 stands out with its Cascade S7 Technology liner system, designed to manage high-impact hits and offer a potential edge in demanding competitive environments. The Cascade Pro-7 possesses the BOA fit system for precise adjustments ensuring a personalized feel. The Warrior Burn utilizes its own liner and employs a combination of BOA dial and adjustable straps for a secure fit. The STX Rival utilizes a traditional lace-up closure system, offering a familiar fit method for some players. 


### Progression:

The Cascade Pro 7 helmet was Cascade's first attempt to fuse the lacrosse visor to the helmet's shell for a more rigid frame and a streamlined look. This innovation proved to be very successful, and subsequently, all future lacrosse helmets followed this trend of using a solid piece for the shell and visor. The Pro 7 was a significant improvement over its predecessors, such as the Cascade CLH2, in terms of protection and aesthetics.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)



* This helmet is a tank. I feel confident and protected on the field and the Seven Technology liner with high-density foam absorb impact like crazy. I haven't had any stingers or headaches since switching to this helmet.
* For a high-protection helmet, the Pro-7 is surprisingly lightweight. It doesn't weigh me down at all, and the fit is fantastic. I can play at full speed without feeling restricted.
* The customization options for the Pro-7 are amazing. I was able to design a helmet that perfectly matches my team colors and even add my own personal touches. It looks awesome on the field.

CONS



* The Pro-7 is definitely more expensive than some other helmets on the market, but it's a high-performance piece of equipment.
* Finding the perfect fit can be a bit of a challenge with the Pro-7. The sizing system might not be exactly what you expect.
* If you're a casual player or just starting out, there are more affordable options available that offer decent protection without all the pro features.


### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround)) 

The Cascade Pro-7 is a familiar sight on the lacrosse field, but that's for a reason. Thanks to the shell design, it has a super lightweight feel and distributes weight evenly, so you barely notice you have it on, which is a significant plus during those intense games. While the Cascade Pro-7 offers excellent protection, it's important to remember it's an older model, and newer Cascade helmets might have advancements in padding and ventilation technology.

Hammer 900

# STX Hammer 900 Head

The STX Hammer 900 lacrosse head lives up to its name, offering elite-level defensemen a tool to dominate the field. Built upon the legacy of the Hammer line, it boasts an Enduraform™ plastic construction, which provides unmatched stiffness and shape retention, ensuring checks land true and the head stays pocket-perfect. The redesigned Speed Scoop™ facilitates effortless ground ball pickups, even at awkward angles, while the tighter face profile grants control for pinpoint clears and fast breaks.

The Hammer 900 sits proudly within the rich history of STX, renowned for its dependable lacrosse equipment. It takes cues from its predecessors, inheriting the durability that made the Hammer line a favorite. Whether you're a seasoned defender or an aspiring lockdown specialist, the Hammer 900 equips you to control the game, one ground ball and check at a time.


 **Perfect head for:** elite defenseman 


### Key Features Include



* EnduraForm™ plastic construction for unmatched stiffness and shape retention 
* Redesigned Speed Scoop™ for effortless ground ball pickups, even at awkward angles
* A tighter face profile adds control for pinpoint clears and fast breaks.
* Sidewall profile optimized for player-preferred high pocket placement 


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [Warrior Evo QX2-D](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/evo-qx2-d/l350399) and the [Maverik Tank 2.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/tank-2-0/l164354)

The STX Hammer 900 steps into the defensive arena alongside the Warrior Evo QX2-D and Maverik Tank 2.0, each prioritizing control and power, but catering to slightly different defensive tactics. The Hammer 900 features a mid-pocket depth and a balanced face shape, offering a sweet spot for both powerful checks and ground ball channeling. The Warrior Evo QX2-D boasts a similar pocket depth but with a wider face, excelling at scooping loose balls and winning ground ball battles in open spaces. Conversely, the Maverik Tank 2.0 leans towards a slightly shallower pocket and a pinched face shape, ideal for precise checks and maintaining tight possession control in close defensive situations.


### Progression:

The STX Hammer 900 doesn't have a clear, direct predecessor in the STX Hammer line. While it carries the "Hammer" name, traditionally associated with STX's defensive heads, the 900 is a new design rather than an iterative update on a previous model.


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* Excellent strength and retention due to its EnduraForm material. Its shape creates a smaller space for the ball to move, making it less likely to fly out during a game. 
* Love the quick scoop feature which makes the ball fall right into the pocket with minimal rolling. It is an amazing lacrosse head for elite defensemen.
* Great profile for scooping ground balls, sidewalls allow for a nice mid-high pocket.

CONS



* Feels a bit stiff initially, although it might break in with some use
* Pricey compared to other heads
* Not a ton of reviews or information about this head. Hard to know if it’s held up for other players. 


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 


The Hammer 900 is a top defensive head, crafted for the elite defensemen. Designed with STX’s new Enduraform plastic, this head has great shape retention and is incredibly stiff. This head is just like the Tank 2.0, you can throw some pretty hard checks with it. It has a tighter face compared to most defensive heads which makes control of ground balls much easier.

Surgeon 900

# STX Surgeon 900 Lacrosse Heads

Its lightweight design, achieved through STX's EnduraForm material, shaved precious grams for unmatched agility. It features an improved Speed Scoop and streamlined stringing for a customized pocket. 

The Surgeon 900's influence lives on in its successor, the STX Surgeon 1K, ensuring its place in STX's history as a game-changer for offensive players.

**Perfect head for:** elite attackmen


### Key Features Include



* Super lightweight design, the lightest head STX has ever made
* Made from EnduraForm™ a proprietary material for improved toughness
* New Speed Scoop™ for easier groundballs, regardless of the angle of attack
* InnerLock™ makes stringing to the inside rail easy, narrowing the channel for increased hold


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [ECD Rebel Offense](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/east-coast-dyes/rebel/l8819) and the [STX Hyper Power](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/hyper-power/l168596)

In the realm of elite attack lacrosse heads, the STX Surgeon 900 finds itself battling for supremacy with the ECD Rebel Offense and STX Hyper Power, each offering unique advantages for offensive mastery. The Surgeon 900 prioritizes a balance of power and control, featuring a medium-depth pocket and a traditional face shape. This versatility allows for strong shots, accurate passing, and good ground ball pick-up. The ECD Rebel Offense leans towards a slightly shallower pocket and a pinched face shape, offering a sweet spot for powerful throws while maintaining good handling and control. Conversely, the STX Hyper Power prioritizes pure power with its stiffest pocket and a wider face shape, catering to players who crave maximum power in their shots and hold for aggressive dodges. 


### Progression:

The Surgeon lacrosse head series features two models: the Surgeon 900 and the Surgeon 1K. Here's a breakdown of their progression:

[Surgeon 900](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/stx/surgeon-900/l65241)



* Lightweight design
* Speed Scoop for easier groundballs, regardless of the angle of attack
* Narrow channel for increased hold

[Surgeon 1K](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/surgeon-1k/l393980) 



* Enhanced EnduraForm 2 mesh is designed to be more durable and maintain pocket shape longer. 
* Wider sweet spot with a redesigned scoop and optimized stiffness
* Lighter design due to strategic material removal 


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* This stood up to wicked abuse. Matched with HERO mesh, this setup was very reliable, with repeatable results every day. By far my go-to head for any situation.
* With a 4.4-ounce head you wouldn’t expect much in terms of strength, but this head passed all expectations. It stands its ground for checks and pokes. 
* I’ve had 3 of these heads. They are long-lasting, even for heavy-handed guys like me, It’s a great option for the midfield position.

CONS



* Although the Surgeon 900 aims for a mid pocket, I found the stock pocket to be shallower than expected.
* Expensive compared to other similar heads out there
* Some warping after extended use


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

The Sturgeon 900 is the lightest head STX has ever made. Designed for goal scorers at the attack position, this head is super light and has insane control. With STX’s Enduraform plastic, the head has increased durability. It has a new speed scoop to make ground balls easy and a new sidewall design to make stringing much easier. This head would be the go-to for players like Connor DeSimone.

Duel 3

# STX Duel 3 Head

The STX Duel 3 Lacrosse Head builds upon the brand's legacy of crafting high-performance face-off heads. Designed specifically for the face-off specialist or "stay-on" midfielder, the Duel 3 boasts several key features. Reflex™ material offers flexibility and shape retention, allowing players to maintain control during the crucial battle at the X. The slimmed-down Speed Scoop facilitates faster ground ball pickups, while the shorter throat provides increased leverage and control. 

The Duel 3 represents the latest iteration in STX's commitment to face-off innovation. It succeeds the well-regarded Duel and Duel 2 models, incorporating player feedback and advancements in material technology. 


 **Perfect head for:** face-off specialists


### Key Features Include



* Reflex™ material that holds its shape and keeps you on the field longer
* Duel flex profile and optimized stiffness for elite face-off athletes
* Speed Scoop™ for faceoff flex and faster groundballs


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [StringKing Mark 2F](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2f/l7515) and the [ECD Weapon X](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/east-coast-dyes/weapon-x/l10504)

Designed for dominating faceoffs, the STX Duel 3 competes fiercely against the StringKing Mark 2F and ECD Weapon X, each offering distinct advantages in securing the crucial first move. The Duel 3 prioritizes control and clean pickups, featuring a wider face shape and a softer pocket, allowing for easier ground ball scooping and facilitating smooth transitions to offense. With its angled scoop and stiffer construction, the StringKing Mark 2F takes a more aggressive approach, excelling at clamping onto ground balls and overpowering opponents in contested situations. However, it might require more finesse to control and scoop effectively. The ECD Weapon X falls somewhere in between, boasting a mid-stiff pocket and a balanced face shape, offering a blend of power and control for strong clamps and a good ground ball feel in various face-off scenarios.


### Progression:

The STX Duel lacrosse head series features three models: the Duel, the Duel 2 and the Duel 3. Here's a breakdown of their progression:

[STX Duel](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/duel/l736):



* Designed for face-off specialists
* Original flex profile for face-off movement
* Standard Speed Scoop design for ground ball pickups
* Traditional throat profile

[STX Duel 2](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/duel-2-2/l9209):



* Designed for elite face-off players
* Newly-engineered, high-flex profile for improved clamping and control
* Slimmed-down Speed Scoop design for enhanced ground ball play at the X
* Shorter throat profile for closer hand placement and increased power/control during face-offs

[STX Duel 3](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/duel-3-2/l172275):



* Designed for the face-off, stay-on midfielders
* Refined high-flex profile for optimal control and feel
* Slimmed-down Speed Scoop design for efficient ground ball pickups
* Shorter throat profile for close hand placement and power/control during face-off
* XT2 sidewall technology for increased stiffness and stability while maintaining flexibility
* Updated stringing pocket design for improved control and pocket hold


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS 




* Great head for faceoffs and midfield play. Opted for a mid-pocket. A versatile and legitimate head for both faceoffs and on-field use.
* Lots of side holes are available to string low, mid, or high pockets. It’s even good to use for a traditionally strung head.
* This head is sweet, with a flexible head that shoots like a regular one. This is a perfect head for someone who takes some faceoffs but is not a fogo.

CONS



* This head requires a significant break-in period to feel comfortable, can’t use it for the face-off right away. 
* Don’t love the pre-strung pocket.
* Some cracking on the sidewalls after extended use.


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

The STX Duel 3 is designed for the face-off and stay-on midfielder. This head is made with STX’s Reflex material to help hold the shape a lot longer, so you can continue to use it for offense or defense after the face-off. The top of the head has a slimmed-down scoop that’s designed for face-offs and to make ground balls easier. It has a shorter throat to make the top hand position closer to the ball for more control. It has 4 screw holes on the throat to ensure the head doesn’t rattle.

### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [Maverik Tactik 3.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/tactik-3-0/l266866) and the [Nike L3](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/nike/l3-2/attack-midfield-heads/l257800)

The Stallion strikes a balance between power and control, making it suitable for both offensive and defensive situations.

The Maverik Tactik prioritizes offensive prowess with its deeper pocket and wider face shape, facilitating powerful shots and holds for dodging and attacking. Conversely, the Nike L3 leans towards a more defensive approach with its narrower face and shallower pocket, enabling better ground ball control and tighter checks.


### Progression:

The STX Stallion Lacrosse Head has seen several iterations over the years, each aiming to improve upon the previous model in terms of performance and features.



* Original STX Stallion: This model was the first model of the STX Stallion. The head was designed in collaboration with lacrosse legend Kyle Harrison, this head offered a traditional pocket depth and a wide face shape. 
* [STX Stallion 500](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/stx/stallion-u-500/l11786): The 500 model introduced a deeper pocket to improve ball control and cradle security. It also features a slightly narrower face shape for better handling and passing. 
* [STX Stallion 700](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/stallion-700/l723): The Stallion 700 built upon its predecessor by incorporating EnduraForm material for enhanced toughness and consistency. It also features an improved scooping pocket for easier ground ball pickups. 
* STX Stallion 750: This model introduced C-Channel technology for increased strength and stability. It also offered a wider variety of stringing options for greater pocket customization. 
* STX Stallion 800: The Stallion 800 saw the introduction of SpeedScoop technology, designed to make ground ball pickups even easier from various angles. It also featured a deeper legal offset for improved ball feel and retention. 
* [STX Stallion 900](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/stx/stallion-900/l165638): The 900 model continued the trend of improved pocket customization with optimized stringing hole placement. It also maintained the EnduraForm material for durability and the SpeedScoop technology for efficient ground ball scooping.

CONS



* Cracking issues on the sidewall.

### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

The OG Stallion came out in 2005. It’s a classic head, and for good reason. It's got a great balance of power and precision, making it a good choice for all-around players. This is a great option if you're looking for a head that can do it all.

Stallion U 550

### Product Description 

The STX Stallion U 550 features an enhanced and updated throat design to provide more strength and durability than the original version. Built with several key upgrades, this head is favored by many due to its lightweight nature, durability, strength, and stringability. The Stallion U 550 is 5% lighter than the original NFHS model, but offers the same level of performance. C-Channel Technology helps to increase the strength of the head by distributing stress evenly along the bottom rail during face-offs, when scooping up ground balls, and during hard checks. Designed for the offensive and defensive midfielder and featuring a mid to high-pocket, the Stallion U 550 is both NFHS and NCAA legal.

### Expert Notes

The STX Stallion U 550 is perfectly designed for two-way midfielders who love to run and gun. Players love the bottom rail design that helps generate extra power in high pockets to increase shot speed. This head also has exceptional ground ball capabilities. The head has a flat scoop with an updated throat designed to quickly transition the ball from the turf to the center of the pocket. This allows midfielders to spark quick transition offense after locking down elite scores while on defense. Players also love the open sidewall that allows for flexibility on checks and ground balls, while also making the head lighter to increase shot speed and accuracy. This head is universally legal and ideal for offensive and defensive midfielders looking to make a huge impact on their team.
