| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| Light, well-balanced, and good-looking! Accurate shooting/passing (sort of) guaranteed. |
| The clear plastic is *beautiful.* Best scoop I've experienced on an ECD head, too. |
| Shooter's head -- like the Optik 3, but with an even tighter release. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| It's pretty fragile. Lots of reports of the head breaking at the throat. |
| After a season the throat started to crack. Love the look and feel but needs work. |
| It's been okay. Stringing it wasn't easy. |
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.
