Mark 2F

# StringKing Mark 2F Lacrosse Heads

The StringKing Mark 2F Lacrosse Head is a weapon for face-off specialists, meticulously crafted for domination at the X. Its selling points are a hybrid plastic construction, an angled scoop, and a shortened throat, which grants leverage for quicker reactions. Moreover, the high flare and straighter sidewall enhances ball control, which is crucial for winning the battle and securing possession.

The Mark 2F marks a pivotal moment in StringKing's history. Founded by two former college lacrosse players in Medfield, Mass., they initially focused on high-performance mesh, becoming synonymous with innovative stringing solutions. However, the release of the Mark 2F marked an ambitious foray into the competitive head market, explicitly targeting the face-off position. Its immediate success, embraced by elite face-off athletes, solidified StringKing's reputation as a significant player across the entire lacrosse equipment landscape.


### **Perfect head for:** face-offs 


### Key Features Include



* Hybrid plastic for the perfect balance of flex and stiffness 
* Shortened Throat for more leverage
* Higher flare and straighter sidewall for more control 
* Angled scoop for attacking a loose ball from any angle 
* Locking bolt installation
* Self-tapping screw installation


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [ECD Weapon X](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/east-coast-dyes/weapon-x/l10504) and the [Nike CEO 2](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/nike/ceo-2-2/l11445) 


 Designed specifically for face-offs, the StringKing Mark 2F prioritizes control and ground ball dominance over the more versatile options like the Weapon X and Nike CEO 2. While the Weapon X and CEO 2 cater to various offensive midfield positions, the Mark 2F's stiffer construction and angled scoop excel at securing ground balls and winning face-offs. The Mark 2F's shorter throat also allows for increased leverage and better control during face-off battles. However, this specialization comes at the cost of versatility, as the Mark 2F's stiff pocket and design may not be ideal for other playing styles that require a wider range of motion and pocket flexibility.


### Progression:

The StringKing Mark 2F lacrosse head is part of the Mark 2 series, which also includes:

[Mark 2A](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2a/l758): Built for attack

[Mark 2T](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2t/l8715): Built for transition
 
[Mark 2D](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2d/l759): Built for defense

[Mark 2F](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2f/l7515): Built for faceoffs

[Mark 2F Stiff](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2f-stiff/l406788): Built stiffer

[Mark 2G](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/string-king/mark-2g-2/l61759): Built for goalies

[Mark 1](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-1/l761): Simple. Strong.



### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* Love this head. Got back into coaching and its bend (and return to shape) is way better than the heads I had back when I was playing in the early 2010s. Makes it easy when I’m working with guys on plungers and reverse clamps.
* Great faceoff head. Good flex and maintains its shape well. Scoop hoovers up ground balls.
* This head has an awesome flex point that lets me control my exits.

CONS



* The first time I played with it, the head snapped the first faceoff. The second head warped quickly and cracked again in 2 spots.
* Much more suitable for offensive players, not a good head for defensive use. 


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

This is the face-off specialist of the Mark 2 family. This head is designed for players wanting the best control and durability. The Mark 2F has a shorter throat to make clamping faster and create a quicker reaction time. StringKing’s new material blends stiffness and flex. The Mark 2F also comes in a stiff version (15% stiffer). The shape retention is significantly better.

Weapon X

# ECD Weapon X Lacrosse Heads

The ECD Weapon X faceoff head was designed in collaboration with faceoff legend Greg "Beast" Gurenlian. The Weapon X aimed to reshape the faceoff landscape with its focus on its unique design: a proprietary blend of FlexForm material that offers strength and flexibility, strategically placed flex points throughout the head to enhance responsiveness and power transfer, and a short throat that brings your hands closer to the ball for increased leverage and control. 

The Weapon X wasn't just another faceoff head for ECD; it marked their entry into the high-performance market. Prior to this, ECD was known for its value-oriented products. The Weapon X, however, embodied a shift towards premium offerings designed to meet the needs of elite players. 

The Weapon X remains a top contender in the faceoff world, with multiple iterations like the Weapon X Pro and custom options catering to diverse player preferences. 


**Perfect head for:** faceoffs 


### Key Features Include




* FlexForm Materia offers flexibility and a head that keeps its shape.
* Precise Flex Points for wrapping the head around the ball with force and precision
* Shorter Throat for getting your hands closer to the ball for leverage 
* Optimized Scoop so you never miss a ground ball.


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [Nike CEO](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/nike/ceo/l721) and the [STX Duel 3](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/duel-3-2/l172275)

In the face-off circle, the ECD Weapon X battles it out with the Nike CEO and STX Duel 3, each specializing in different aspects of the crucial first move. The Weapon X prioritizes power and leverage, featuring a stiff construction and an aggressive head design to clamp onto ground balls and overpower opponents. However, its aggressive design might come at the expense of some ground ball feel and control. The Nike CEO takes a more balanced approach, offering a blend of power and finesse with its mid-stiff pocket and wider face shape. This allows for strong clamps and a good feel for ground balls in contested situations. The STX Duel 3 leans towards a traditional design with a focus on control. Its wider face shape and softer pocket excel at scooping ground balls and facilitating clean transitions to offense. 


### Progression:

The ECD Lacrosse Weapon X head hasn't seen any major iterations or changes since its initial release in August 2019. It remains the sole version of the Weapon X head.


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* This lacrosse head is ideal for faceoffs as it bounces back and allows for controlled passes. The trade-off is that it is stiffer than traditional faceoff heads. 
* The stiffness is good for bigger players as the extra weight and strength come in handy during faceoff techniques like plunges.
* This is a great stick to face off and stay in the game without having it warp. 

CONS



* The biggest problem was finding a way to string the head that could match an offensive pocket as well as a face-off pocket. Took a couple of tries.
* The offset takes a while to get used to on faceoffs, and the head needs to be broken in before it’s usable for faceoffs.
* A little stiffer than expected.


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick)](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports) 


The Weapon X was made to compete with the Nike CEO line and is popular amongst faceoff guys throughout college. The idea is that it will flex the same every single time. So, it won't flex a little bit lower; it won't flex a little bit higher. It will flex in the same spot, holding the same shape with its warp resistance technology. The throat of the head was made to be as pinched as possible without becoming illegal, so right around that 3” requirement.

CEO 3

Evo QX-O

# 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.

# Nike CEO Lacrosse Heads

The Nike CEO Lacrosse Head isn't just a namesake—it’s a face-off performance champion. Explicitly designed for midfielders, it boasts a shortened throat for power and control during draws, an aggressive scoop for effortless ground ball pickups, and a zero-friction design for lightning-fast reactions. 

This head isn't just about individual dominance; it also marks a significant chapter in Nike's lacrosse legacy. While Nike entered the scene focusing on offensive sticks, the CEO series specifically targeted the midfield. It quickly gained recognition for its exceptional face-off prowess, solidifying Nike's commitment to cater to all aspects of the game. 


### **Perfect head for:** offensive players and face-off midfielders


### Key Features Include:



* The bottom rail is ideal for mid-pocket placement
* The most pinched universal head in the Nike line
* Elongated bottom rail designed for mid-pocket placement
* Reinforced sidewall delivers durability
* 8 top wall string holes and 16 sidewall string holes
* Meets NCAA and NFHS specifications


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [STX Duel 3](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/duel-3-2/l172275) and the [StringKing Mark 2F Stiff](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2f-stiff/l406788)

While the Nike CEO reigns supreme for elite face-off specialists with its high-flex profile and narrow scoop, it faces stiff competition from the STX Duel 3 and StringKing Mark 2F Stiff. The STX Duel 3 also prioritizes face-off dominance with its refined high-flex profile and similar narrow scoop design. However, the Duel 3 incorporates XT2 sidewall technology for increased stiffness and stability, appealing to face-off specialists who value a more secure feel during clamps. The StringKing Mark 2F Stiff takes a slightly different approach, catering to two-way midfielders who participate in both face-offs and regular play. Its stiff construction offers power for both face-offs and shots, while the mid-pocket design allows for decent control during passing and cradling.


### Progression:

Over the years, the Nike CEO Lacrosse head has steadily refined its scoop, stiffness, and weight for optimal performance.  


[Nike CEO](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/nike/ceo/l721): 



* The original Nike CEO head was designed for elite offensive players.
* It gained popularity among face-off specialists due to its optimal stiffness and unique flex point, offering an advantage in securing ground balls and winning draws.
* The head featured a high and wide scoop, well-suited for mid-pocket stringing styles.

[Nike CEO 2](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/nike/ceo-2-2/l11445) 



* An updated version of the original, it retains the strengths of its predecessor, including the optimal stiffness and a high, wide scoop.
* Modernized design and improved functionality compared to the original CEO.

[Nike CEO 3](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/nike/ceo-3/l352849):



* Building on the success of the previous models, the CEO 3 prioritizes face-off specialists even more than before.
* It features a shortened throat design for closer hand placement, enhancing power and control during face-offs.
* A zero-friction scoop for easier ground ball pickups from various angles, aiding offensive plays.
* Updated flex profile to provide face-off players with multiple options for controlling the draw efficiently.


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* Good for the faceoff guy. This head can withstand a lot of punishment.
* Ball stays in the pocket until you shoot. Provides clean, accurate shots. String job with hero mesh is the way to go.
* This is a great weapon to have at the X. Super durable and after one year, still performing at the highest level.

CONS



* The scoop is just okay; it’s pointed so if the ball is not right in the center of the head, the ground ball will not work. Also, the head gets stuck in the ground if you're going on an aggressive angle. 
* Exits well, but will need to put a softball in it every day.
* GB are 50/50; sometimes the head folds in so you have to get pretty low for them.


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

 
The Nike CEO is the first generation of the CEO line that Nike came out with. The design gave faceoffs a whole new perspective of the game because the head is really flexible. You can do a lot with it. And it will continuously hold its shape. The head allows you to define how you want to take a face-off. If you're more of a player who wants to pinch the ball and pop it out backward to your wing, then you'd have the ability to do that because the Nike CEO is strong and flexible enough to get that angle and pop. Also, it's a great head for picking up the ground ball from any angle.

Duel 3

# 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

* 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.

CEO 2

# Nike CEO 2 Lacrosse Heads

The Nike CEO 2 lacrosse head builds upon the success of the original CEO while targeting ambitious faceoff midfielders and offensive players. It features a shortened throat creating closer hand placement for increased power and control during faceoffs, an aggressive Scoop designed for easier ground ball pickups from any angle, and a high-pinch profile ensuring crisp passes and laser-focused shots when transitioning to offense.

The CEO 2 seamlessly integrates into Nike's lacrosse legacy. While Nike entered the sport later than some competitors, it quickly made a name for itself with innovative and high-performance gear. The CEO 2 combines proven features from the original with modern design elements. The CEO 2 remains a popular choice for players seeking faceoff dominance and offensive prowess.


**Perfect head for:** faceoff midfielders and attackmen


### Key Features Include



* An aggressive scoop for ground balls while attacking or dominating the faceoff
* A shortened throat creates closer hand placement, generating power and control
* Flex Zones and stiff shoulders add strength and stability 


### 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)

In the face-off circle, the Nike CEO 2 carves a niche between the StringKing Mark 2F and the ECD Weapon X, catering to players with different face-off styles. While the Weapon X prioritizes raw power and leverage with its aggressive design and stiff construction, the CEO 2 strikes a balance between power and control. Its mid-stiff pocket and wider face shape offer strong clamps and a good ground ball feel for contested situations. On the other hand, the Mark 2F is a specialist designed for pure ground ball dominance with its angled scoop and stiffer build. Its shorter throat provides increased leverage, but its lack of versatility might not suit players who need to adapt to different face-off situations. 


### Progression:

The CEO lacrosse head series features three models: the CEO, the CEO 2.0, and the CEO 3.0. Here's a breakdown of their progression:

[Nike CEO](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/nike/ceo/l721): 



* The original Nike CEO head was designed for elite offensive players.
* It gained popularity among face-off specialists due to its optimal stiffness and unique flex point, offering an advantage in securing ground balls and winning draws.
* The head featured a high and wide scoop, well-suited for mid-pocket stringing styles.

[Nike CEO 2:](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/nike/ceo-2-2/l11445) 



* An updated version of the original
* It retains the strengths of its predecessor, including the optimal stiffness and a high, wide scoop.
* Modernized design and improved functionality compared to the original CEO.

[Nike CEO 3](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/nike/ceo-3/l352849):



* Building on the success of the previous models, the CEO 3 prioritizes face-off specialists even more.
* It features a shortened throat design for closer hand placement, enhancing power and control during face-offs.
* A zero-friction scoop for easier ground ball pickups from various angles, aiding offensive plays.
* Updated flex profile to provide face-off players with multiple options for controlling the draw efficiently.


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* I bought two sturdy and flexible Nike CEO 2 lacrosse heads for the face-off. They are well-built and can withstand a lot of punishment.
* Really nice head. The ball stays in the pocket till you shoot. Provides clean, accurate shots.
* Fantastic at the X. It's reliable and durable, and the pointed scoop helps to increase accuracy. I've been using it for two years now. It's definitely a good pick-up for any offensive-minded player.

CONS



* Hybrid flexes like this head may have issues with spooning, but it's still better than the original CEO. 
* The scoop is not great. It’s pointed so if the ball is not right in the center of the head, the ground ball will not work. Also, the head gets stuck in the ground if you're going on an aggressive angle. 
* The plug in the head creates a wobble on the shaft. I’ve broken 3 carbon shafts in 3 games in the same spot because the plug in the stick wedges and snaps the carbon.


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 


With the CEO 2, Nike tried to step up the model slightly. They made the plastic more durable, so it would rebound a bit easier and hold its shape better than its predecessor. They reworked the scoop so you could win it forward to yourself more easily. They reworked the throat of the head so you could pinch and pop it backward without the head pinching too much. It's a head made for a faceoff guy.

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.
