### Product Description

The Edge has been one of the most popular lacrosse heads from Brine since its release. What sets this head apart from all of its competitors is the customizable bottom rail that gives the player the option to create a low positioned or a mid positioned pocket. Brine created one of the most revolutionary lacrosse heads by implementing an abundance of sidewall holes to give the player exactly what they want. The head’s slight profile that sits further back on the shaft allows for easier ground ball pick up. Due to the wide face of the stick, the Edge is a great option for defensive players, as it’s great for causing turnovers and enabling the transition. Made for close defensemen with universal legality.

### Expert Notes

As one of Brine’s top-selling heads of all time, the Edge can still be found being used by elite level players. It features a nice and wide face shape and a gradual flare, which makes it an attractive option for a lot of defenders; that said, this head could easily also be used on midfielder or attack, but is probably best suited for an LSM or D Pole. With the very unique scoop and sidewall design, creating a custom pocket is no issue. Whether you like a higher pocket or a lower pocket, you will be able to achieve your ideal pocket design.

Designed primarily for midfielders and attackmen this head is stiff and meets both NFHS and NCAA specs. The new face shape with reverse flared sidewalls help to channel the ball to the center of the pocket and the new angle of the scoop makes it easier to scoop ground balls. The pocket sits mid-high on the head giving a little more kick for the shooter and also adding for a little more pocket whip.


### Expert Notes

The Brine Clutch 2X head is the first two-shot color head coming straight from the factory, and is perfect for two-way midfielders looking to dominate the entire length of the field. The two-shot color feature is really cool because it allows the player to customize specific sections of the head without adding weight like the normal head dying process does.

Players love the reverse flared sidewalls because they help funnel the ball to the center of the pocket, creating a quick transition from turf to channel. The Clutch 2X also comes with a reinforced scoop and throat, which helps increase the head’s strength and durability -- an ideal set up for players who land hard checks and slice through their opposing defenders. Offensive players also love the offset of the head because it creates pocket designs that maximize hold and control, helping keep the ball away from hard hitting defenders. Overall, the Brine Clutch 2X is a universally legal head great for newer players to develop the fundamentals of their game.

Hero Mesh

### Product Description 

East Coast Dyes Hero Mesh is one of the first lacrosse stringing meshes built with two different types of fibers woven into the core of the mesh. This technology is able to increase feel and hold, while also developing rigid sides to literally rocket the ball out of the customized pocket. This is called Zone Tech, in which the inner channel is made of LTH and the outer channel is made of LTC fibers. Since the LTH fibers are softer and more flexible, this allows the ball to be funneled towards the center of the pocket and sit comfortably. The mesh is also hydrophobic, meaning the mesh is unfazed by water. This makes ECD Hero Mesh an ideal option if you’re playing in rain or snow on a fairly regular basis. The mesh is available in semi-soft and semi-hard options in a wide variety of colors and designs, so you can customize it to match your team colors.

### Expert Notes

East Coast Dyes Hero Mesh was specifically designed to give players the most amount of feel and grip while keeping the weave light, durable, and game-ready in all weather conditions. It comes in two different sizes: a 10 Diamond for all field use, including attack, midfield, or defense; or, a 12D option for goalies who are looking for a consistent way to clear and a great mesh for no rebounds. Hero mesh is available in a ton of different colors so expressing yourself is not an issue.

Weapon X

# ECD Lacrosse 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.

### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [Maverik Optik 3.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/optik-3-0/l165698) and the [STX Surgeon 900](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/surgeon-900/l65241)

Carving a space in the offensive arena, the ECD Ion Head takes on established contenders like the Maverik Optik 3.0 and STX Surgeon 900, each offering distinct advantages. The Maverik Optik 3.0 champions customization with its interchangeable faceplate technology, allowing players to tailor the pocket to their preferences. It boasts a mid-pocket design suitable for both powerful shots and controlled passing. The STX Surgeon 900, on the other hand, caters to players who value traditional pocket feel and precise passing. Its wider face shape and deeper pocket offer optimal hold and control over the ball, making it ideal for those who prioritize pinpoint accuracy. The ECD Ion stands out for its lightweight design and focus on speed, making it a great choice for fast-paced offensive players. Its tight face shape and mid-low pocket encourage quick releases and powerful throws on the run. 


### Progression:

While the Ion doesn't have a directly traceable predecessor, it benefits from ECD's existing knowledge, player feedback, and understanding of the attack lacrosse head market.


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

Pros: 



* The Ion feels light and well-balanced. It allows for fast shots and accurate passing and catching. Cradling is comfortable.
* Surprisingly great. The clear plastic really looks awesome. Doesn’t feel brittle like the older clear plastic heads including the DNA diamond.
* This head has all the best qualities of the Maverik Optik 3.0 with an even tighter release. 

Cons: 



* I like this head - it's light and performs great. But, it's too fragile. I've had two breaks in 8 months at the throat. If it were more durable, it'd be the best ever.
* Used this new lacrosse head in college practice and after 7-8 months it cracked near the throat. Love the color and design but not perfect yet.
* It's been working okay for me. Was not easy at first to string the right pocket.


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

The Ion is ECD’s lightest head on the market and is designed for quick attackmen. ECD features a new design with the Ion, the Diamond Plastic, which is their new see-through durable plastic. The face of this head was designed to be more aerodynamic and the sidewall holes set up the perfect mid-low pocket.

The ECD Lacrosse DNA 2.0 carves its niche in the offensive midfield realm, taking on established rivals like the STX Stallion 1K and the Nike L3, each offering distinct advantages on the field. The STX Stallion 1K reigns supreme in raw power generation thanks to its aggressive mid-high pocket and wider face shape. While this excels in forceful shots, it might compromise some control in finesse plays. The Nike L3 strikes a balanced approach with its mid-pocket suitable for both powerful shots and controlled passing. This versatility makes it adaptable to various offensive situations.

### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* The DNA and DNA 2 are two of the most versatile heads ever produced. They are awesome for anyone but a face-off guy and a goalie
* If you are an all-around middie it will work really well. It’s by far the most versatile head on the market.
* The best head release of the year - precise shooting and consistent accuracy with a narrow face shape and mid pocket.

CONS



* I prioritize a super lightweight feel, and this head is slightly heavier than I expected
* It's still on the heavier side of elite heads... and a little stiff at first. 
* I had to spend some time breaking this head in before I could use it on the field. 


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

Building off of the first generation DNA, ECD had designed this head to be for all positions from the offensive midfielder to the hard-hitting defenseman. The material of this head helps it hold its shape and improve its durability. It’s lighter compared to the first generation. The DNA 2.0 might not be the flashiest, but it feels like a reliable workhorse that you can count on to get the job done.

* The pocket was a little shallow at first, but once I broke it in it worked great.

* A bit expensive compared to other options.


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

This head comes in an offense and defense model. The offense is easy to use. ECD always produces a perfect head. It's made with light and durable material. You can get a lot of use out of the Rebel without really trashing it. And the defensive head is made to be stiff. It won't bend in any way, which defensemen like, especially when playing at the higher level. The more checks you throw, the more warped a head can get. The sidewalls are solid on the Rebel. A player can throw some pretty strong checks.

This head is the first generation of the DNA line. It’s designed for all positions. ECD calls it “The Game’s Swiss Army Knife” because of how versatile this head is. ECD’s Flexform material ensures that this won’t warp. Lacrosse fans have seen players like Connor Fields (who represented Canada at the 2023 World Lacrosse Championship) dominate the game with this head.

Hero Strings

### Product Description 

East Coast Dyes HeroStrings are engineered with performance in mind and are considered the best lacrosse shooting and sidewall strings on the market. HeroStrings are constructed with abrasion resistant fibers for maximum durability and longevity. Featuring LockTec Technology, the sidewall strings are tightly woven and will not lose tension with superior knot retention. The shooters are soft and durable for a smooth and accurate release. The shooting nylons are thinner and stiffer than the shooters for the ultimate release while shooting and passing. All materials are woven with hydrophobic materials for performance in any weather conditions. The plastic tips on the strings create hassle free stringing, which makes it easy to get the thread through the head.

### Expert Notes

East Coast Dyes Hero Strings kits include some of the highest regarded shooters and sidewalls in the game because of the easy stringing abilities, and durability of the material. The kit typically includes five sidewall laces, three shooter strings, and two nylon shooting strings. All of which are vital to creating tight knots to the head, and crisp channels to maximize accuracy and power. The sidewall strings come with ECD string caps that fit perfectly into the sidewall holes of the head, allowing for easy stringing and many customization options. Players especially love the shooter strings because they are very durable and resistant to tears, helping create a consistent release and accuracy without worry of replacement. Overall, the Hero Strings kit is one of the best-selling kits you will find, and is perfect for elite players looking for consistency.

Clutch Elite X

### Product Description 

The Brine Clutch Elite X head features new technologies in order to decrease the head’s weight without sacrificing strength. The Core Technology creates a stronger inner sidewall to centralize the weight and strength of the head, which also helps to decrease the head’s overall weight. The head also features maximum offset to increase the depth of the pocket so that players can have more hold and better ball control. Perfectly placed sidewall holes allow you to build the perfect mid-high pocket with a wide, accurate channel. The head also features a wide, flat scoop to help give players a variety of approach angles to scoop up ground balls no matter the situation. The Brine Clutch Elite X is a universally legal head that’s perfect for two-way midfielders looking for a strong, stiff, and accurate head.

### Expert Notes

With the Clutch Elite X head, Brine addressed all of the pain points from previous heads to make a very solid product. The biggest change is the addition of Brine’s new Core-Tech sidewall design. It's made to provide extra strength where it’s needed, in the weaker spots of the head. This revamped sidewall design also provides a way to make the head lighter while adding stiffness. Besides the new technology featured in this head, it also has a more modernized look overall. The newly designed throat allows for better hand placement and greater overall performance.
