Best Defense Lacrosse Heads of 2025

Power up your defensive game. These defense head reviews are designed to help you weigh tradeoffs to find the best fit. We collaborate with players and gear experts to review each head based on durability (the ability to resist stress and deform before breaking), stringability (how easy and versatile it is to string up), and flexibility (the ability to bend and flex upon impact). Rankings are updated weekly based on SidelineSwap sales data.
