DNA 2.0

# ECD Lacrosse DNA 2.0 Head

The ECD Lacrosse DNA 2.0 Head builds upon the legacy of the DNA series, renowned for its versatility and well-rounded performance. ECD utilizes their proprietary FlexForm plastic in the 2.0, which is engineered to maintain shape and resist warping even under heavy use. This material also boasts strategic sculpting, achieving a lighter weight while preserving stiffness. This balance makes the DNA 2.0 suitable for attackers, midfielders, and even defenders. It comes strung with ECD's Elite pocket, designed for consistent and accurate release with minimal break-in time. \


The DNA 2.0 exemplifies ECD's commitment to crafting durable and reliable lacrosse equipment for various playing styles. It refines the DNA series, a popular choice for its all-around capabilities while incorporating advancements in material science to cater to the evolving needs of modern players. 


 **Perfect head for:** midfield


### Key Features Include



* FlexForm Plastic maintains shape and improves durability
* Refined and optimized shape reduces the DNA 2.0’s overall weight while pushing the limits of durability and strength 
* ECD proudly designs, tests, and manufactures the DNA 2.0 in the USA


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [STX Stallion 1K](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/stallion-1k/l316969) and the [Nike L3](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/nike/l3-2/l168650)

The ECD Lacrosse DNA 2.0 carves its niche in the offensive midfield realm, taking on established rivals like the STX Stallion 1K and the Nike L3, each offering distinct advantages on the field. The STX Stallion 1K reigns supreme in raw power generation thanks to its aggressive mid-high pocket and wider face shape. While this excels in forceful shots, it might compromise some control in finesse plays. The Nike L3 strikes a balanced approach with its mid-pocket suitable for both powerful shots and controlled passing. This versatility makes it adaptable to various offensive situations. Compared to these, the ECD DNA 2.0 prioritizes a blend of power and control through its mid-pocket design and focus on quick releases. Its lightweight construction and ergonomic design enhance its performance for fast-paced offensive plays. 


### Progression:

The DNA lacrosse head series features two models: DNA and DNA 2.0. Here's a breakdown of their progression:

[DNA](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/east-coast-dyes/dna-4/l11364)



* FlexForm material helps eliminate warping
* Flowing geometry retains the shape of the head
* Optimized flex points for control
* Designed for maximum durability

 
[DNA 2.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/east-coast-dyes/dna-2-0/l331323)



* A refined design that advances the anti-warping FlexForm plastic. 
* Updated material to reduce weight while maintaining stiffness.


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* The DNA and DNA 2 are two of the most versatile heads ever produced. They are awesome for anyone but a face-off guy and a goalie
* If you are an all-around middie it will work really well. It’s by far the most versatile head on the market.
* The best head release of the year - precise shooting and consistent accuracy with a narrow face shape and mid pocket.

CONS



* I prioritize a super lightweight feel, and this head is slightly heavier than I expected
* It's still on the heavier side of elite heads... and a little stiff at first. 
* I had to spend some time breaking this head in before I could use it on the field. 


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

Building off of the first generation DNA, ECD had designed this head to be for all positions from the offensive midfielder to the hard-hitting defenseman. The material of this head helps it hold its shape and improve its durability. It’s lighter compared to the first generation. The DNA 2.0 might not be the flashiest, but it feels like a reliable workhorse that you can count on to get the job done.

### 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.

### 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.
