# 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.

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.

Purpose

Prequel

### Product Description 

The Epoch Hawk Prequel lacrosse head is an upgrade to the already popular Hawk and Sequel designs that have created a buzz in the industry. With its traditional curved profile and laid-back technology and new hybrid design, the Prequel is engineered for the perfect Zone 3 mid-pocket that provides superior ball control and maximum feel with a quicker release. The Hawk Prequel improves upon previous designs with one of the deepest pockets in the game without sacrificing the quick release. Constructed with state-of-the-art materials and utilizing a proprietary composite injected polymer, this head provides optimal durability with maximum energy transfer and shot velocity. With 20 sidewall holes, the stringing options are endless for ultimate pocket customization.

### Expert Notes

The Epoch Prequel lacrosse head was created to have one of the premium depth mid-low pockets in the game and is great for offensive midfielders and attackmen. While having a very deep pocket design, the head is also engineered to have a very quick, precise release. Players love this feature because it maximizes ball retention while also allowing for pinpoint accuracy. The head also has a semi-stiff frame with a flat scoop, designed to help players quickly scoop the ball off of the turf and spark quick offense and transitions. With the deep pocket design of the head, it is perfect for attackmen looking to dodge through contact and score inside shots with perfect control of the ball. As the Epoch brand continues to engineer brand new technology and high-tech designs, the Prequel is the next great universally legal head for offensive threats looking to light up the scoreboard.
