Best Goalie Lacrosse Heads

The Impact lacrosse head is designed for the elite goalies who thrive under pressure and make the difference between a championship and a long offseason. Engineered with a new, light and stiff SL-105 plastic, an optimized face shape, and an ergonomic throat, the Impact is incredibly responsive and allows goalies to anticipate the shooter's moves. The head is also easy to string, ensuring a perfect pocket every time.

The ECD Impact is truly a game-changer for goalies at all levels. Launched in 2022, the Impact is the newest goalie head of the successful ECD family. It is incredibly lightweight for a goalie's head and can help keepers get to shots at a faster rate. Several PLL starters chose the Impact to snatch away shots that can travel 110 MPH + showing trust in the head.

The StringKing Mark 2A Lacrosse Head is a meticulously engineered weapon for offensive players seeking ultimate control and lightning-fast execution. Its selling points include a super-light design, a narrow face shape, and a mid-low pocket. This combination grants attackers the confidence to weave through defenders, unleash laser-focused shots, and dominate the scoring game.

“

This is StringKing’s lightest head yet, making it a good choice for the quick and slick attackmen or the elite offensive player looking for the best control and feel. The pinched face shape and lower profile pocket provide a secure and controlled feel when cradling the ball, especially for one-handed cradling. Because it’s so lightweight, it’s also super easy to handle and maneruver on the field. Love it.

A versatile option for all levels of play, the Under Armour Command Lacrosse Head offers a balanced combination of power and control at an attractive price point. This head features an all-weather nylon that is built to withstand extreme temperatures, a durable sidewall for super-stiff performance, and a full offset for unmatched power and feel. Overall, the Under Armour Command Lacrosse Head is a solid choice for players looking for a dependable head that can excel in various aspects of the game.

The STX Eclipse has an open sidewall with a large surface area. It features a streamlined scoop to create a wide channel that helps goalies make accurate, consistent clears and cradles with control. The Eclipse is universally legal, and is also the first goalie head to feature open sidewall technology. The head has an abundance of sidewall holes to help goalies customize their pockets perfectly to give the head the passing accuracy of a normal offensive head.

“

I learned how to string lacrosse heads using this head. The Ecplise 2 is one of the most flexible heads on the market, offering stiffness when you save a shot. The head has never broken or warped on me and has brought me to the college level. The head is also beautiful; it's very comfortable and fits in the hand well, as does any shaft you put on. This head has never failed me since I started playing goalie.

The Warrior Nemesis 3 goalie head is a standout in Warrior's lineup, featuring pro-level stiffness and weighing only 325 grams. It includes reinforced sections, a durable sidewall, and tapered stringing holes for enhanced customization. The Nemesis 3 showcases Warrior's dedication to innovation and the unique needs of goalies.

“

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
