# Adrenaline Nomad Head

Made in collaboration with the Notre Dame Men's Lacrosse team, the Adrenaline Nomad targets the versatile player who thrives in the transition game. Its medium taper head profile balances control and power, making it suitable for various situations on the field. The smooth scoop facilitates quick ground ball pickups, while the stringing holes allow for a customized pocket ideal for both shooting and passing. Constructed from a proprietary blend of titanium, scandium, and aluminum, the Nomad boasts durability and lightweight performance.

While Adrenaline is relatively young compared to established giants like STX or Nike, the Nomad signifies their commitment to innovative design and player-centric equipment. Its focus on versatility caters to the modern lacrosse player who demands a head that can adapt to the fast pace of the game.


 **Perfect head for:** the transition game


### Key Features Include



* Smooth scoop for quick ground balls
* Medium taper head profile
* Revolutionary shooting string-specific holes
* Premium materials for increased durability
* For intermediate to advanced players


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [Maverik Havok](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/havok/l7600) and the [Warrior Evo QX-D](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/evo-qx-d/l168780)

The Adrenaline Nomad enters the ring against two strong competitors. Each caters to different playing styles: the Havok prioritizes power and control for offensive players with its stiff build and mid-pocket, while the Evo QX-D focuses on defense with its close fit and narrow face shape. Compared to these, the Nomad adopts a more versatile approach, aiming to excel in ground ball play, shooting on the run, and making strong passes. Its medium pocket and less aggressive scoop design offer a balance between control and quick release, making it suitable for players who transition between offense and midfield or prioritize a well-rounded skillset. 


### Progression:

While the Adrenaline Nomad doesn't have a direct predecessor model, it draws inspiration from other Adrenaline heads and incorporates feedback from players during its development. The Nomad was developed in collaboration with the Notre Dame Men's Lacrosse team, leveraging their expertise and incorporating features they valued in existing heads.


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* The Nomad is very lightweight and comfortable to use.
* I appreciate the mid-pocket's versatility for both shooting and passing.
* This head can withstand a beating. Super durable. 

CONS



* I prefer a more responsive head. It felt a little boxy and stiff compared to other heads I've used.
* Price could be lower given that it’s a new brand with almost no user reviews. 
* The head was slightly heavier than expected.


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

This head is all about playing the transition game. The scoop is designed to be smooth to make picking up ground balls that much easier. The sidewall hole design on this head opens the pocket design to so many stringing opportunities. It’s a super stiff head and weighs in at around 5.15 oz.

### Progression:

Retaining some of the same similarities as the Stallion 550 and the STX Stallion, the Rival helmet was designed with more aggressive styling hoping to appeal to the masses.The STX Rival Helmet is a huge upgrade from previous STX helmets. It includes a sleek design, 70% better ventilation, a Sure-Fit air system pump on the back to adjust the fit on the fly, and a nice fitted comfort liner. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS: 



* Ventilation and on-the-fly air adjustment are a great addition to this model. I added a visor just to give it a little more intimidating look. I definitely would buy another one.
* This is the first custom helmet I bought for my daughter, who is a goalie and entering high school. The helmet fits great and is more comfortable than early stallion models.
* For the price, the STX Rival is a great value. It's a step up from the most basic helmets but without the high price tag of some top-tier options.

CONS: 



* The Rival's color selection is a bit boring compared to some other helmets on the market. There aren't many options.
* The Rival doesnt offer the most advanced protection technology compared to higher-end helmets.
* It might take some trial and error to find a good fit.


### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround)) 

Lacrosse players looking for a light and airy helmet on the field should consider the STX Rival. This helmet features an innovative air system, which basically has a built-in pump you can use to adjust the fit for a snug feel throughout the game. No more messing around with pads or straps! The padding is not the most robust on the market, so if you're a super-aggressive player, consider a helmet with a thicker padding system.

Eclipse

### Expert Notes

Easily one of the all-time most popular heads, the Eclipse head by STX is used by a majority of goalies at all levels of the game. One of the main reasons why it’s so popular is because it has one of the widest face shapes compared to the other goalie heads on the market. This larger size helps with just about everything a goalie does: clearing, catching, saving, and passing. Even though it's got the widest area, it's still a very accurate head when strung correctly. There’s an abundance of stringing holes for just about any stringing pattern, and creating a pocket with a great channel is super easy.

Shield

### Product Description 

STX Shield lacrosse goalie gloves offer the perfect balance of protection and stiffness for beginner and intermediate goalies who are looking to be a brick wall in the cage. The gloves feature a Fixed Thumb Guard, which locks the thumb into place with a very strong thumb plate to reduce the impacts of shots to the hand. The thumb plate also hinges forward on the last knuckle to help cover a larger area of the thumb. The back of the glove is built with reinforced protection and strength in areas that tend to receive the highest rate of impacts. In addition, the glove features a single, nash palm piece to provide excellent grip and feel.

### Expert Notes

When it comes to goalie gloves, there are not a ton of options out there because there are only a few companies that make them every so often. STX’s Shield goalie gloves are easily one of the best options you’ll find. They added a bunch of padding to the thumb and surrounding areas so that your hands stay safe when taking incredibly fast shoots around the crease and just outside the box. We recommend these gloves for just about any level of play. Shield gloves have all the basics you need to stay safe and perform your best.
