Warrior qx-o rating
The Warrior Evo QX-O is a very versatile head. It is very good for scooping, and hard a sturdy foundation. Make sure to get the new model for the head because the older one cracks easily.
New
Love the head is great
Solid option
Great head for any offensive player. Really nice face shape that takes a lot of pocket styles. Only real downside is the plastic is not very stiff, but if you are only playing offense it is great
Versatile Head
The Warrior Evo QX-O is a stringers dream. It is versatile and can be maneuvered to create a high or low pocket to each players specific preferences.
Awesome lacrosse head
It strings up very well I love it as an attack men have a nice tight face shape and I find it to be very accurate shot after shot

Progression of the Warrior Evo QX-O
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:
The original Evo was designed to be lightweight and featured a refined offset patent for improved release points.
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.
Saw significant changes including custom color heads, increased sidewall string holes from ten to 13, and a shortened throat.
Introduced the SYM-RAILTM technology, which aimed to reduce weight strategically while maintaining overall stiffness.
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.
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.
| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| I quickly grew to love the QX-O. It’s durable and capable of taking serious punishment from defensemen. |
| Best Warrior head I've used — 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. |
| There are real tradeoffs with the Qx-O -- it's lighter, but less stiff. YMMV. |
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.
