# 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.

Ascension

### Product Description

The Alpha Ascension lacrosse head is equipped with the latest technological achievements in equipment materials that contribute to a lighter, sturdier and more durable product. Designed for true attackers and offensive-minded midfielders, the Alpha Ascension has a low pocket for quicker releases on passes and shots and a more defined shooting channel which adds more whip behind the ball. The head has a narrow face shape to provide better over ball control and to make it easier to scoop up ground balls. There are 20 sidewall holes to allow for endless stringing options and customization. The asymmetrical side walls showcase the signature Alpha Lacrosse A-wave logo on both sides for a sleek and unconventional look. The Alpha Ascension head is available in four unique colors, including white, black, grey and teal.


### Expert Notes

The Alpha Ascension head is designed for offensive players whose game is centered around dodging and playmaking. The head is designed with a narrow face shape to help develop a low pocket that also has a quick release. Players love this because it allows them to retain the ball through the hardest checks, while also being able to distribute the ball with quick, pinpoint accuracy. The head also has 20 sidewall holes that help the player customize their pocket however they want, but optimally for a low-mid pocket. The lightness and durability is also beloved by elite offensive players because it creates a dependable head resistant to cracks, breaks, and bends. The Alpha Ascension is universally legal and a great option for players looking to put the ball in the back of the net.
