### 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.

### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* I’ve strung both rebel offense and rebel defense heads. It’s by far my favorite head to string and play with. 
* It’s great for mid and low pockets, and very consistent passing and shooting.
* The pocket was a little shallow at first, but once I broke it in it worked great. 

CONS



* I think the Rebel Offense is a bit too stiff, I prefer a bit more flex for shooting.
* The stiffness of this head impacts the feel and pocket performance.
* A bit expensive compared to other options.


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

This head comes in an offense and defense model. The offense is easy to use. ECD always produces a perfect head. It's made with light and durable material. You can get a lot of use out of the Rebel without really trashing it. And the defensive head is made to be stiff. It won't bend in any way, which defensemen like, especially when playing at the higher level. The more checks you throw, the more warped a head can get. The sidewalls are solid on the Rebel. A player can throw some pretty strong checks.

Burn X

### Product Description 

The Warrior Burn X lacrosse head is designed for the offensive-minded player looking for a quick release, maximum shot power and faster ground ball pick-ups. This sleek head is re-engineered with a slim profile and narrower scoop at the throat for more ball control and an enhanced feel. The Sym-Rail Twist technology reduces weight in the sidewalls without sacrificing overall stiffness or strength. The Warrior Burn X also features max stringing holes for a completely customizable pocket to match any playing style and pocket preference. The Warrior Burn X is an extremely lightweight and durable lacrosse head perfect for offensive-minded players.


### Expert Notes

The Warrior Burn X is a head designed with a narrower throat and a wide scoop, making it a weapon of choice for long-stick midfielders and defensive middies alike. Basically, the head is a cross-breed of an Evo 4 and a Clutch 3, combining both offensive and defensive elements to make it great for ground balls, shooting, and landing hard checks. Players love the wide, rounded scoop because it helps them pluck ground balls out of a scrum, and then quickly funnels the ball to the center of the pocket. Once in the channel, the tighter pinch helps players retain possession of the ball; upon release, the Burn X provides pinpoint accuracy on passes. The head is also engineered from some of the lightest, sturdiest material you’ll find. The head only weighs 4.7 ounces, which helps players increase their shot speed. Despite its lightweight nature, the Burn X is still highly resistant to cracks, breaks, and bends. Overall, the Warrior Burn X is a universally legal head perfect for elite LSMs and defensive midfielders who also want to make their presence felt at the offensive end of the field.

Recommended for offensive attack and midfielders, this head features a pinched design at the throat that is a must-have for those who end up with one-hand carries up the field. The open sidewall design makes this head extremely lightweight and the patented TruOffset technology creates a lowered pocket for increased ball control and extra power on shots.

The Warrior Evo 2.0 includes everything you love about the original design, but just revamped and re-styled.

### Expert Notes

The Warrior Evo 2.0 comes from one of the most trusted brands with a reputation of designing the next great product. The tightly pinched throat is perfect for players who often cradle one-handed and desire a lot of whip. Players love that the head itself has a softer feel than other new heads, and this helps create more hold and ball control while shooting and distributing the ball. This head is great for beginners, as it has a wide face and a Warrior EZ Scoop, which helps youth players who are still developing their technique pick up ground balls more easily. The head also has an open sidewall design that helps maintain a lightweight, sturdy core. Overall, the Warrior Evo 2.0 is a great head to help newer players develop their skills, and the head is legal at the NFHS and Youth levels of play.
