# 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. 

* **[Evo 2](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/evo-2-0/l8958):** The Evo 2 built upon the original's success 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):** The Evo 3 saw significant changes, including custom color heads, an increased number of sidewall string holes from ten to 13, and a shortened throat. 
* **[Evo 4](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/evo-4/l7007):** The Evo 4 introduced the SYM-RAILTM technology, which aimed to strategically reduce weight but still maintain overall stiffness.

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.

### Expert Notes 

The Warrior Evo lacrosse head was made for offensive midfielders and attackmen. This elite level head is designed to have a lower pocket, giving players the power to have more control of the ball and allowing for more whip in the head of your stick. The neck of the head has two screw holes to anchor the Evo down to reduce the risk of breaking or rattling. The rail system of the head is stiffer and stronger, while reducing the weight to give you a faster shot. It also gives you the option to have a bunch of string holes to create your perfect pocket.

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.

Nemesis QS

Noz 2

### Product Description 

The Warrior Noz 2 lacrosse head is one of the best face-off heads of all time and features lightweight properties that face-off specialists love. One of the lightest lacrosse heads weighing in at only 4.3 ounces, this head is perfect for the face-off midfielder looking for a quick release. The TruOffset Technology lowers the center of gravity in the head and helps to create a deeper pocket for improved ball control and shot velocity. The exclusive NOZ technologically works to drastically reduce the weight of the head and to provide a better feel and increased speed. The Warrior Noz 2 features a classic shape and design and is so popular that in the past many years limited production runs of this model have sold out extremely fast.


### Expert Notes

The Warrior Noz 2 is the perfect head for FOGOs and offensive players centered around raw speed and quickness. This is one of the lightest heads in the history of lacrosse designed by using unique technology to eliminate excess material but still maintain strength. The head is created with gas-assisted molding in which nitrogen is injected into the head to reduce weight. FOGOs love this aspect because it improves their hand speed and reaction time from the moment the whistle sounds. Combined with a higher flexibility, this gives them an unmatched advantage over every opponent because it makes it easier to pinch-and-pop to create instant offense. Attackmen and offensive midfielders also love this feature because it increases their shot speed and accuracy by offering more ball control. The lighter head means additional torque as well. Whether you’re trying to make an impact at the X or on offense, the Warrior Noz 2 is a great head to add to your arsenal at any level of play.
