# 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.

Purpose

Hawk

### Product Description 

The Epoch Hawk lacrosse head features a distinctive look with its laid-back profile and lowered scoop, but aesthetics aside, it was designed to be one of the most technologically advanced heads on the market at its time of development. This head is not limited to specific positions like most heads on the market today, but rather it can be labeled as an all-purpose head featuring a mid to high-pocket. The Hawk is constructed from a composite injected polymer for optimal strength and durability and provides the opportunity for Epoch to increase or decrease the stiffness by altering materials during manufacturing. The Epoch Hawk also features a Grooved Scoop to help vacuum up ground balls from any angle. The Epoch Hawk was created with optimal feel and ball control in mind and has a fairly good balance of flex while also providing adequate stiffness.

### Expert Notes

The Epoch Hawk is one of the top all-purpose heads with great feel and control while having possession of the ball. The head features an offset with an upper third face shape to improve accuracy and power in shooting and passing, while also maintaining stiffness to allow for hard checks and easy ground balls. The tight pinch of the throat and the wide scoop help create the ideal mid-high pocket with a crisp and concise release. Offensive players love this aspect because it creates pinpoint accuracy to feed into the tightest windows, and to sting corners. Defensive players love this head because of the advantages that the wide, stiff scoop helps create on ground balls over other players. They also love the stiffness of the head because it allows them to land hard takeaway checks on elite offensive players without worrying about bends, breaks, or cracks. The Epoch Hawk is a universally legal head great for well-rounded players looking to make an impact all over the field, or to excel in their position.

Sequel

Hawk Sequel

### Product Descriptions

The Epoch Hawk Sequel is an upgraded version of the already popular Hawk lacrosse head released back in 2014. Designed for maximum speed, power and control, the Sequel is preferred most by players who seek a mid-high pocket for a quick release. The laid-back profile and lowered scoop are a feature that offer superior ball control while cradling and an optimal quick release point when passing or shooting. The Epoch Hawk Sequel is manufactured with a proprietary blend of materials utilizing composite injected polymer for maximized stiffness and flexibility properties. Epoch’s Flex iQ technology indicates the stiffness (iQ1) and flexibility (iQ10) of the head. The Epoch Hawk Sequel is classified as an iQ3, which means it’s a pretty stiff head but still has a little flexibility. The Sequel’s innovative design and state-of-the art construction is matched by its superior performance and functionality.

### Expert Notes

The Epoch Hawk Sequel head is one of the most versatile heads in lacrosse as it uses material that provides both flexibility and stiffness. Offensive players love the stiffness of the head because it helps them sting corners with a narrow throat and wide scoop, which helps to maximize ball control while creating a smooth release from the top of the channel. With the design, this head is perfect for a mid-high pocket to improve accuracy and power with a great offset to increase pocket depth near the top of the head. The head also has extra sidewall holes which allow players to customize their pockets to their style of play perfectly. FOGOs love the combination of stiffness and flexibility because it helps the head retain its shape after a long battle at the X. The stiffness at the top helps them efficiently scoop ground balls while the flexibility helps the head bend around the ball to obtain a clamp over a larger portion of the ball. The Epoch Hawk Sequel is a universally legal head perfect for players looking to spark quick offense and dominate possessions against the best defenses.
