Optik 3.0

# Maverik Optik 3.0 Head

The Maverik Optik 3.0 Lacrosse Head builds upon the legacy of its predecessors as a high-performance head designed for offensive players. It features an increased offset for a deeper pocket, a shortened throat for an improved top-hand feel, and a dual-strut sidewall for stiffness and reduced weight. The 20 sidewall holes offer stringing customization for personalized pocket preference.

This head fits within Maverik's ongoing commitment to innovation and player-centric design. The Optik line has a strong track record, favored by elite attackmen like Team USA's Jordan Wolf. The 3.0 iteration refines this legacy, focusing on the specific needs of dodging, feeding, and finishing offensive players. 


 **Perfect head for:** attackmen


### Key Features Include



* XRAIL Technology for distributing stress to the opposite rail creating a lightweight and stiff design.
* Tension Lock enables stringers to locate a defined shooting channel for increased accuracy.
* Duratough Material increases stiffness and provides consistency in all weather conditions.
* Optimal release points increase control with added hold and have extreme energy offset when shooting.


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [STX Surgeon 900](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/surgeon-900/l65241) and the [StringKing Mark 2A](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2a/l758)

Carving its niche in the offensive realm, the Maverik Optik 3.0 squares off against the STX Surgeon 900 and StringKing Mark 2A, each catering to distinct offensive styles. The Optik prioritizes pure power, boasting a deep pocket and a wide face shape ideal for powerful shots, tight holds for aggressive dodges, and maintaining possession in the attacking zone. The STX Surgeon 900 takes a more traditional approach with a medium-depth pocket and a balanced face shape, offering versatility for strong throws, accurate passing, and decent ground ball pick-up. However, the Surgeon also allows for greater customization to match individual preferences. The StringKing Mark 2A, designed specifically for left-handed players, features a similar deep pocket but with a stiffer construction, prioritizing power and hold for forceful shots and dominant offensive plays.


### Progression:

The Maverik Optik lacrosse head series features three models: Optik, Optik 2.0, and Optik 3.0. Here's a breakdown of their progression:

**[Maverik Optik 2.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/optik-2-0/l8918)**



* Focused on offensive players, improving control, accuracy, and power
* Tighter face shape 
* Tension Lock technology for a more defined channel 
* X-Rail technology for increased stiffness and durability


**[Maverik Optik 3.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/maverik/optik-3-0/l165698)**



* Emphasizes performance and a modern feel while maintaining the core strengths of the previous models.

### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* The best head on the market for advanced attack men. Accurate feeding and control.

* Good attack head. Lightweight. Lots of stringing options.

CONS

### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 


Building off the previous 2 generations, this head is the most advanced model of Maverik’s offensive heads. It has a shorter throat on the head, which reduces the distance between the player's top hand and the ball so you have more control. This head was designed with the inside finisher in mind, with an increased feel and face shape for passing and shooting. With 20 sidewall holes, this head allows you to string the head any way you like.

DNA 2.0

# ECD Lacrosse DNA 2.0 Head

The ECD Lacrosse DNA 2.0 Head builds upon the legacy of the DNA series, renowned for its versatility and well-rounded performance. ECD utilizes their proprietary FlexForm plastic in the 2.0, which is engineered to maintain shape and resist warping even under heavy use. This material also boasts strategic sculpting, achieving a lighter weight while preserving stiffness. This balance makes the DNA 2.0 suitable for attackers, midfielders, and even defenders. It comes strung with ECD's Elite pocket, designed for consistent and accurate release with minimal break-in time. \


The DNA 2.0 exemplifies ECD's commitment to crafting durable and reliable lacrosse equipment for various playing styles. It refines the DNA series, a popular choice for its all-around capabilities while incorporating advancements in material science to cater to the evolving needs of modern players. 


 **Perfect head for:** midfield


### Key Features Include



* FlexForm Plastic maintains shape and improves durability
* Refined and optimized shape reduces the DNA 2.0’s overall weight while pushing the limits of durability and strength 
* ECD proudly designs, tests, and manufactures the DNA 2.0 in the USA


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [STX Stallion 1K](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/stallion-1k/l316969) and the [Nike L3](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/nike/l3-2/l168650)

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. Compared to these, the ECD DNA 2.0 prioritizes a blend of power and control through its mid-pocket design and focus on quick releases. Its lightweight construction and ergonomic design enhance its performance for fast-paced offensive plays. 


### Progression:

The DNA lacrosse head series features two models: DNA and DNA 2.0. Here's a breakdown of their progression:

[DNA](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/east-coast-dyes/dna-4/l11364)



* FlexForm material helps eliminate warping
* Flowing geometry retains the shape of the head
* Optimized flex points for control
* Designed for maximum durability

 
[DNA 2.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/east-coast-dyes/dna-2-0/l331323)



* A refined design that advances the anti-warping FlexForm plastic. 
* Updated material to reduce weight while maintaining stiffness.


### 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 Surgeon 900's influence lives on in its successor, the STX Surgeon 1K, ensuring its place in STX's history as a game-changer for offensive players.

### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [ECD Rebel Offense](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/east-coast-dyes/rebel/l8819) and the [STX Hyper Power](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/hyper-power/l168596)

In the realm of elite attack lacrosse heads, the STX Surgeon 900 finds itself battling for supremacy with the ECD Rebel Offense and STX Hyper Power, each offering unique advantages for offensive mastery. The Surgeon 900 prioritizes a balance of power and control, featuring a medium-depth pocket and a traditional face shape. This versatility allows for strong shots, accurate passing, and good ground ball pick-up. The ECD Rebel Offense leans towards a slightly shallower pocket and a pinched face shape, offering a sweet spot for powerful throws while maintaining good handling and control. Conversely, the STX Hyper Power prioritizes pure power with its stiffest pocket and a wider face shape, catering to players who crave maximum power in their shots and hold for aggressive dodges. 


### Progression:

The Surgeon lacrosse head series features two models: the Surgeon 900 and the Surgeon 1K. Here's a breakdown of their progression:

[Surgeon 900](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/stx/surgeon-900/l65241)



* Lightweight design
* Speed Scoop for easier groundballs, regardless of the angle of attack
* Narrow channel for increased hold

[Surgeon 1K](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/surgeon-1k/l393980) 



* Enhanced EnduraForm 2 mesh is designed to be more durable and maintain pocket shape longer. 
* Wider sweet spot with a redesigned scoop and optimized stiffness
* Lighter design due to strategic material removal 


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* This stood up to wicked abuse. Matched with HERO mesh, this setup was very reliable, with repeatable results every day. By far my go-to head for any situation.
* With a 4.4-ounce head you wouldn’t expect much in terms of strength, but this head passed all expectations. It stands its ground for checks and pokes. 
* I’ve had 3 of these heads. They are long-lasting, even for heavy-handed guys like me, It’s a great option for the midfield position.

CONS



* Although the Surgeon 900 aims for a mid pocket, I found the stock pocket to be shallower than expected.
* Expensive compared to other similar heads out there
* Some warping after extended use


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

The Sturgeon 900 is the lightest head STX has ever made. Designed for goal scorers at the attack position, this head is super light and has insane control. With STX’s Enduraform plastic, the head has increased durability. It has a new speed scoop to make ground balls easy and a new sidewall design to make stringing much easier. This head would be the go-to for players like Connor DeSimone.
