# 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.

# STX Hyper Power Head

The STX Hyper Power Lacrosse Head marks a significant shift in the brand's offensive offerings. Designed to elevate the elite shooter's game, the Hyper Power features the innovative Power Ramp technology. This ramp creates a steeper angle between the bottom rail and the scoop, promoting a "whipping" motion that increases shot speed and consistency. The EnduraForm™ material enhances durability, while the Innerlock™ guides simplify stringing for a narrow pocket with exceptional hold.

The Hyper Power represents a departure from STX's traditional focus on well-rounded heads suitable for various positions. Instead, it caters to offensive players seeking maximum power and accuracy in their shots. This targeted approach positions STX as a contender in the market for elite offensive heads.


 **Perfect head for:** elite offensive shooter


### Key Features Include



* Updated Power Ramp™ (patent pending) improves shot speed and consistency
* Features EnduraForm™ a proprietary material for improved toughness
* Innerlock™ guides simplify inside stringing for a narrower pocket and increased hold


### Top Competitor Comparisons: [ECD Mirage 2.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/east-coast-dyes/mirage-2-0/l164123) and the [ECD Rebel Offense](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/east-coast-dyes/rebel/l8819)

In the offensive midfield battleground, the STX Hyper Power stands out for its power-focused design, competing with the ECD Mirage 2.0 and ECD Rebel Offense, each catering to different offensive styles. The Hyper Power reigns supreme in pure power, boasting a stiffest pocket and a wider face shape for generating the most powerful shots and maintaining tight holds during aggressive dodges. However, its focus on power comes at the expense of some versatility in terms of feel and handling. The ECD Mirage 2.0 offers a more balanced approach with its mid-pocket depth and balanced face shape, excelling at both powerful shots and controlled passing while facilitating quick transitions with good ground ball pick-up. The ECD Rebel Offense leans towards a slightly shallower pocket and a pinched face shape, striking a sweet spot between power and handling, making it ideal for players who value strong throws while maintaining good control for dodges and passing. 


### Progression:

The STX Hyper Power does not come from any previous STX models. It’s a new addition to the lineup, specifically designed for elite offensive shooters.

While there isn't a direct lineage from previous models, STX utilizes learnings and technologies from their existing lacrosse heads to develop new ones. For instance, Hyper Power's EnduraForm material is an improvement upon materials used in other STX heads, and its stringing features, like Innerlock guides are inspired by their broader lacrosse head technologies.


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* This lacrosse head is perfect for step down shooters who like to lean in and shoot hard and accurately. There's nothing else like it on the market.
* I don't remember the last time a head worked this well for me, even strung a few different ways. It is incredibly accurate and is an absolute vacuum for ground balls.
* It improves accuracy and speed—a well-built head with a good-sounding snap release.

CONS



* Feels a bit stiff out of the box. 
* You have to spend significant time to break it in. 
* The sweet spot feels a bit narrow compared to other heads I’ve used


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

The Hyper Power is designed to bring the game of an elite shooter to the next level. It is incredibly accurate and has a new structure that provides a natural whip to the head, unlike many other heads. The bottom of the head rises to the top at a different angle than other heads, which keeps the ball in your pocket longer and takes away the variables of stringing materials. This head is used by players like Marcus Holman and Will Manny. Holman used this head to win the 2021 PLL Accuracy Contest in both 2021 and 2022 All-Star Games.

# 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.

Stallion 900

# STX Surgeon 900 Lacrosse Heads
The STX Surgeon 900 Lacrosse Head marked a pinnacle moment for the brand's offensive offerings. Designed for elite attackers like Justin Guterding, it prioritizes speed, control, and pinpoint accuracy. 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.

# 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.

# Warrior Evo QX-O Head
The Warrior Evo QX-O lacrosse head marked a significant evolution in Warrior's offensive lineup. Designed for the elusive ball carrier, the QX-O boasts an unmatched lightness at 20 grams lighter than its predecessor, a redesigned bottom rail and mid-low pocket, and a Therma Lock resin for ensuring the head maintains its shape and stiffness even in high temps.

The QX-O integrates into Warrior's history of offensive innovation. Following the success of the iconic Warrior Krypto Pro shaft, the QX-O prioritizes control and power, aligning with Warrior's dedication to crafting high-performance tools for offensive dominance. The QX-O balances weight (it’s the lightest offensive lacrosse head from Warrior) and stiffness, appealing to players seeking a versatile head for all aspects of the offensive game.


**Perfect head for:** attackmen


### Key Features Include



* Therma-Loc resin boosts performance in high-heat
* Improved scoop for effortless ground ball pickups.
* Redesigned bottom rail and mid-low pocket profile to facilitate ball control
* Sym-Rail eliminates excess weight and provides improved stiffness.

### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [Maverik Optik 3.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/maverik/optik-3-0/l165698) and the [STX Surgeon 900](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/maverik/optik-3-0/l165698)

The Warrior Evo QX-O carves a niche in the offensive space, battling it out with the Maverik Optik 3.0 and STX Surgeon 900 for the title of top offensive weapon. All three prioritize a balance of power and control, but cater to slightly different playing styles. The Evo QX-O boasts a mid-pocket depth and a pinched face shape, offering a sweet spot for powerful shots and maintaining a good feel for dodges and passing. The Maverik Optik 3.0 features a slightly deeper pocket and a wider face, leaning towards maximizing power in shots and holds for aggressive offensive plays. Conversely, the STX Surgeon 900 takes a more traditional approach with a medium-depth pocket and a balanced face shape, excelling in versatility for strong throws, accurate passing, and decent ground ball pick-up. 


### Progression:

The Warrior Evo lacrosse head is a popular choice for players of all levels, and it has seen several iterations over the years. Here's the progression:

Evo (1999-2000): The original Evo was designed to be lightweight and featured a refined offset patent for improved release points.

[Evo 2](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/evolution-2-0/strung/l320960): Built upon the original's success, the Evo 2 was about trying to increase ball control in the pocket and accuracy out of the pocket. It has a redesigned throat and the amount of offset in the head increased. 

[Evo 3](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/evolution-3x/l9138): Saw significant changes including custom color heads, increased sidewall string holes from ten to 13, and a shortened throat. 

[Evo 4](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/evo-4/l7007): Introduced the SYM-RAILTM technology, which aimed to reduce weight strategically while maintaining overall stiffness.

[Evo 5](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/evo-5/l7064): Further refinements, including the Tilt Tech string hole setup for a lower pocket and improved control. It also boasts a Throat Lock for a secure fit on the shaft and a stiffer design overall.

[Evo QX-O](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/evo-qx-o/l164309): Designed for offensive players, it’s approximately 20 grams lighter than the Evo 5. Has an Improved scoop for better ground ball control and a new Therma-Loc resin for increased stiffness and face shape retention in hot weather. 


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* I quickly grew to love the QX-O. It’s durable and capable of taking the biggest of stick checks.
* This is my favorite of the Warrior’s—very lightweight, durable, and great face shape.
* The optional throat plug is the best feature.

CONS



* It felt a little stiff and less forgiving than other Warrior heads I've used.
* The QX-O offers fewer sidewall stringing holes compared to other heads. 
* I prefer a more responsive head. This one is stiff. 


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

 
The Warriors started making up some crazy names for their heads. This model is made for an offensive player who’s looking for more ball control with a quick release on passing and shooting. The big selling point is that it's 20 grams lighter than the previous model and has an upgraded rail system. The material makes it a stiffer head, and it helps the head retain its shape in high-heat environments. It has an updated scoop to make ground balls that much easier.

Nemesis 3

# Warrior Nemesis 3 Lacrosse Heads

The Warrior Nemesis 3 goalie head stands as a titan in Warrior's legacy of top-tier net protection. Building upon the success of its predecessors, the Nemesis 3 boasts pro-level stiffness, weighing a mere 325 grams, upgraded reinforced sections, an ultra-rugged sidewall, and tapered stringing holes that offer greater customization options. 

The Nemesis 3 represents the brand's unwavering commitment to innovation and understanding the specific needs of goalies. Warrior has pushed the boundaries of goalie equipment, and the Nemesis remains a top choice for elite and aspiring goalies alike, offering the confidence and control needed to dominate the crease.


**Perfect head for:** goalies


### Key Features Include


* Lightweight composition (weighing 323 grams)
* Pro-level stiffness means the Nemesis 3 won't bend or break.
* Ultra-rugged 2-strut sidewall design makes the Nemesis 3 extremely durable.
* Tapered stringing holes that offer greater customization options


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [STX Eclipse 2](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/goalie/goalie-heads/stx/eclipse-2-4/l11941) and the [ECD Impact](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/goalie/goalie-heads/east-coast-dyes/impact-6507/l322096)

The Nemesis 3, a popular choice for lacrosse goalies, squares off against the STX Eclipse 2 and ECD Impact, each offering unique advantages in protecting the net. The Nemesis 3 boasts a large surface area and a wide pocket, ideal for stopping high-velocity shots and offering ample coverage. However, it's also the heaviest of the three, which might impact mobility for some goalies. The STX Eclipse 2 counters with a lighter weight and stiffer build allowing quicker reactions and better control. Its smaller profile, though, offers slightly less coverage compared to the Nemesis. The ECD Impact attempts to find a middle ground, featuring a moderate weight, a balanced pocket size, and strategic sidewall cut-outs for improved mobility and weight reduction. 


### Progression:

The Nemesis lacrosse head series features three models: the Nemesis 1, the Nemesis 2, and the Nemesis 3. Here's a breakdown of their progression:

[Nemesis 1](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/nemesis-2/l739)



* Introduced a stiffer construction for better stopping power
* Featured a more traditional pocket design.
* Received mixed reviews due to weight and stringing limitations. 


[Nemesis 2](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/nemesis-2/l739) 



* Addressed weight concerns with a lighter design.
* Maintained the stiffer construction for power.
* Offered a more modern pocket shape for improved control.

[Nemesis 3](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/nemesis-3-2/l9702)



* Built on the success of the Nemesis 2, further reducing weight with "Sym-Rail Twist" technology.
* Reinforced key sections for enhanced durability and reduced flex on saves.
* Incorporated user feedback by adding more tapered stringing holes for greater customization and easier pocket formation.


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* Excited about the stiff head, similar to StringKing Mark 2G. Ideal for higher-level play with sleek design and options for stringing. May be too stiff for beginner goalies.
* Great head very stiff and light and has a great face shape
* My son found this head so light, it took a good day of practice to avoid moving past the ball after replacing his Guardian.

CONS



* Expensive compared to other goalie heads. I feel the cost doesn't justify the offered features.
* Though lighter than its predecessors, the Nemesis 3 is a bit heavy compared to my other heads like the STX Eclipse.
* Minor cracking and a few chips after extended use


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 


The Nemesis 3 is the third generation in the Nemesis line. It’s a lighter head (almost 12 ounces) because goalies need to step to the ball and move their hands fast at awkward angles. They made this head a bit stiffer because when you save a harder shot, the head can flex back a little bit. With this model, they wanted to avoid that. It’s meant to be really stiff so that it doesn't flex as much and so the head can take more shots.
