# 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.
* Optional LOC-THROAT feature for better head-to-handle attachment or leave out for lightweight performance.


### 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.

# Warrior Evo 5 Lacrosse Heads
The Warrior Evo 5 Lacrosse Head is a force to be reckoned with for offensive midfielders and attackmen seeking power, control, and pinpoint accuracy. Its selling points are undeniable: the Tilt-Tech stringing holes facilitate a low-mid pocket placement, while the Sym-Rail technology shaves weight without sacrificing stiffness.

The Evo 5 seamlessly integrates into Warrior's rich lacrosse history, marked by consistent advancements in equipment and technology. Established in Warren, Michigan, Warrior quickly made a name for itself with its innovative gloves and pads. However, the Evo series specifically targeted the offensive end of the field. The Evo 5 is a testament to Warrior's dedication to refining and perfecting offensive offerings. 


### Perfect head for: offensive midfielders and attackmen


### Key Features Include



* Tilt-Tech string hole design
* TruOffset® Technology deepens the pocket for enhanced ball control and shot power
* Bottom Rail Designed for mid to low-pocket placement
* Sym-Rail gets rid of excess weight while providing greater stiffness in the design


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [ECD Rebel Offense](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/east-coast-dyes/rebel/l8819) and the [STX Hyper Power](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/hyper-power/l168596)

When compared to its competitors, the Warrior Evo 5 sits in a sweet spot for offensive players seeking a balance between hold and power. It boasts a stiffer pocket than the ECD Rebel Offense, making it ideal for low-pocket setups and powerful shots, while still offering enough flexibility for a good feel on the ball. The STX Hyper Power leans even further towards stiffness and power, but at the expense of some of the Evo 5's versatility in terms of pocket formation and overall feel. Ultimately, the choice between these three comes down to individual preference and playing style, with the Evo 5 offering a compelling blend of power, hold, and feel for offensive players.


### 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](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/evo-74/l10506) (1999-2000):** The original Evo was designed to be lightweight and featured a refined offset patent for improved release points.

It also boasts a Throat Lock for a secure fit on the shaft and a stiffer design overall.


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* The Evo 5 is probably my favorite head ever. It has a little flex but is great for middies and attacks.
* It works best with a mid-high pocket.
*  The lock mechanism is great, with zero wobble. 

CONS



* Not many string holes, but if strung well it doesn't matter.
* The throat lock was tough. I needed sandpaper to make it work.
* The ball stop has fallen off all three Warrior EVO 5 heads I have.


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

The Warrior Evo 5 was the head of choice by players such as UVA attackman Xander Dickson. It's made to be light and accurate with a ton of ball control. It's got a lot of sidewall holes that would allow for multiple sidewall patterns, so you have a ton of different stringing options. Some players like to do a high pocket with a little bit more whip, and some like a mid to low pocket for less whip and more control. This head is for players who'd like to have the ball lower in the pocket, but it's also versatile in what you can do with it.

### Product Description 

With every aspect and feature designed by PLL superstar Paul Rabil, the Warrior Rabil lacrosse head offers signature power, speed, and accuracy, making it a perfect choice for advanced high school offensive players. The narrow face shape delivers superior accuracy for shooting and passing, while the TruOffset technology helps to increase the pocket depth for higher shot velocity. The flared sidewalls increase ball control when cradling, passing, and shooting. The Warrior Rabil features NOZ-assist technology which gives this head an ultra-lightweight feel. This head has the maximum legal pinch and the scoop features a pointy tip which helps increase shot accuracy and velocity. It has an eye-catching design with 2-shot multi-color sidewalls for maximum style.

### Expert Notes

The Warrior Rabil head was engineered to be an elite offensive head for playmakers and close-area shooters. The head was designed to have a narrow throat with reinforced sidewalls to improve ball retention and accuracy. Attackmen love the pinch of the head because it helps prevent defensemen from knocking the ball loose, while the ball remains centered in the channel. This helps create crisp passing and faster shots even during contact. Players also love the large amount of string holes on the sidewall which allows for pocket customization, though a mid-high pocket is optimal on this head.

Evo X

### Product Description 

The Warrior Evo X is the perfect head for midfielders looking for a durable head that can support a wide variety of pocket designs to adapt to any player’s preference. Some of the new technologies that the head features include a contoured scoop and a double bar offset to increase ground ball capabilities and pocket accuracy. The contoured rounded scoop helps players quickly scoop up ground balls and funnel the ball towards the center of the channel, especially during a scrum or on fast breaks. The double bar offset increases strength and pocket depth by adding more plastic for the head to be reinforced by, therefore increasing the width between the top rail and the ball. The head also features strategically placed sidewall holes to allow for a low, mid, or high pocket that can be customized to the user’s preference. The Warrior Evo X is a universally legal, well balanced head, great for two-way midfielders to step up their game. 

### Expert Notes

Warrior’s Evo X was one of the first heads in the Evo series. At the time of its initial release, it was one of the most advanced heads on the market. The Evo X is designed for advanced attackmen. It features a wide face shape and a flared sidewall design that’s very tailored toward offensive play. In addition to its face shape, the scoop is highly curved to facilitate middies trying to scoop up ground balls on the run. If you’re a player who is always involved in the transition, the Evo X will lend itself well to your style of play. The only downside of this head is that it doesn’t have as many sidewall holes as others do. So long as you have your head strung correctly for your position though, it’s not that big of a problem.

Burn Warp Pro

### Product Description 

The Warrior Burn Warp Pro lacrosse head is designed ideally for the midfielder or attackman looking for maximum shot power and accuracy. Re-engineered with a new pocket design and narrower face shape, this lacrosse head brings added control and an enhanced feel. The Warrior Burn Warp Pro is a mid-pocket design with two whip options to provide the perfect pocket feel and a smooth release. SYM-RAIL design eliminates excess weight and provides maximum stiffness while TruOffset lowers the sidewall for improved ball control and feel. The Warrior Burn Warp Pro is made with premium materials that perform well in all weather conditions. Lastly, this head incorporates Loc-Throat technology to provide a secure and rattle-free attachment.

### Expert Notes

The Warrior Burn Warp Pro is designed for elite offensive gurus looking for a consistent and accurate release from their head. This head comes as a mid-pocket with a whip 1, and whip 3 option on the channel. The whip 1 pocket is loved by players who don’t want as much hold, but who look for precision passing and shooting with a traditional overhand release, which is ideal for a midfielder. The whip 3 pocket is perfect for attackmen who run through checks and take a lot of inside shots, which comes with more hold, a deeper pocket, and more whip. Regardless of which whip the player chooses, the head has unmatched accuracy and consistency, as the mesh is completely resistant to weather, tears, and breaks. Players also love the power that comes with the head; the ball is able to quickly roll off the top of the channel and increase shot speed at the same time. The Warrior Burn Warp Pro is the perfect head for players who do not want to deal with all of the time and maintenance that comes with a traditional stick. The head is universally legal and is highly recommended by top professional and collegiate players.

Noz 2X

### Product Descriptions

The Warrior Noz 2X lacrosse head, like its predecessor the Noz 2, is one of the lightest lacrosse heads in the world. Featuring NOZ Technology, Warrior utilizes special patented air technology in the production process to make this head extremely lightweight and stiff. Preferred by offensive-minded players, the Noz 2X dominates with its patented flare design that improves the flex to gain advantage at the face-off. The offensive shape and flex profile improve ball control, aid accuracy, and increase shot power. The mid-to-low bottom rail configuration helps improve ball security with added control. With 17 sidewall holes, the stringing options are endless for ultimate pocket customization. 


### Expert Notes

The Warrior Noz 2X is one of the best faceoff heads of all time because of its tight pinch, and its lightweight construction. The developers made this head with air technology that increases the stiffness, while making the head weigh in at only 4.7 ounces. Players love this because it helps them have quicker hands off the whistle, while providing them with the stiffness they need to overpower their opponents at the X. The Noz 2X also has a wide and flat scoop, creating the perfect opportunity to control the ball off of a pinch-and-pop or on ground balls during a scrum. In addition, the head also has 17 sidewall holes to help the user customize their pocket to their preference, ideally for a mid-low pocket because of the tight pinch of the head. Unlike many tightly pinched faceoff heads, the Warrior Noz 2X is universally legal and a great choice for elite FOGOs at all levels of play.

### Expert Notes

The Warrior Rabil 2X head was improved from its original model in that the throat is slimmed down and the flex points have been stiffened.
