ECD Lacrosse Weapon X Lacrosse Heads
The ECD Weapon X faceoff head, designed with Greg "Beast" Gurenlian, aims to revolutionize the faceoff game. It features a proprietary FlexForm material for strength and flexibility, strategically placed flex points for enhanced responsiveness, and a short throat for improved leverage and control. With various iterations like the Weapon X Pro and custom options, it remains a leading choice in the faceoff world.
Key features include:
| • | FlexForm Materia offers flexibility and a head that keeps its shape. |
| • | Precise Flex Points for wrapping the head around the ball with force and precision |
| • | Shorter Throat for getting your hands closer to the ball for leverage |
| • | Optimized Scoop so you never miss a ground ball. |

The Weapon X prioritizes power and leverage, featuring a stiff construction and an aggressive head design to clamp onto ground balls and overpower opponents. However, its aggressive design might come at the expense of some ground ball feel and control. The Nike CEO takes a more balanced approach, offering a blend of power and finesse with its mid-stiff pocket and wider face shape. This allows for strong clamps and a good feel for ground balls in contested situations. The STX Duel 3 leans towards a traditional design with a focus on control. Its wider face shape and softer pocket excel at scooping ground balls and facilitating clean transitions to offense

| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| This lacrosse head is ideal for faceoffs as it bounces back and allows for controlled passes. The trade-off is that it’s stiffer than traditional faceoff heads. |
| The extra weight and strength come in handy for bigger kids -- smaller faceoff men who rely on speed might want to look elsewhere. |
| This is a great stick to face off and stay in the game without having it warp. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| Takes a while to break in due to the stiffness. |
| The offset took some getting used to. |
| A little stiffer than expected. Great head (and shoots well), but wasn't for me. |
The Weapon X was made to compete with the Nike CEO line and is popular amongst faceoff guys throughout college. The idea is that it will flex the same every single time. So, it won't flex a little bit lower; it won't flex a little bit higher. It will flex in the same spot, holding the same shape with its warp resistance technology. The throat of the head was made to be as pinched as possible without becoming illegal, so right around that 3” requirement.
