Best Lacrosse Heads of 2024

Our lacrosse 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.

Nike CEO 2

Durability

Stringability

Flexibility

Perfect head for:

Offensive players and face off midfields who seek heightened cosmetic appeal with modern textures and aggressive lines.

The Nike CEO 2 lacrosse head enhances the original design for faceoff midfielders and offensive players. Nike focused on creating a more aggressive head to dominate offense and face offs. It features a shortened throat for better hand placement, an aggressive scoop for easier ground ball pickups, and a high-pinch profile for accurate passes and shots.

“

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.

Perfect head for:

Players seeking a shortened throat for more leverage and control and a rounded scoop to make groundballs a breeze.

The ECD Weapon X faceoff head, designed with Greg "Beast" Gurenlian, aims to revolutionize the faceoff game. It features a proprietary FlexForm material for strength and flexibility, strategically placed flex points for enhanced responsiveness, and a short throat for improved leverage and control. With various iterations like the Weapon X Pro and custom options, it remains a leading choice in the faceoff world.

“

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.

Perfect head for:

Goalies who seek a super light head with pro-level stiffness.

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
