# Warrior Evo QX-O Head
The Warrior Evo QX-O lacrosse head marked a significant evolution in Warrior's offensive lineup. Designed for the elusive ball carrier, the QX-O boasts an unmatched lightness at 20 grams lighter than its predecessor, a redesigned bottom rail and mid-low pocket, and a Therma Lock resin for ensuring the head maintains its shape and stiffness even in high temps.

The QX-O integrates into Warrior's history of offensive innovation. Following the success of the iconic Warrior Krypto Pro shaft, the QX-O prioritizes control and power, aligning with Warrior's dedication to crafting high-performance tools for offensive dominance. The QX-O balances weight (it’s the lightest offensive lacrosse head from Warrior) and stiffness, appealing to players seeking a versatile head for all aspects of the offensive game.


**Perfect head for:** attackmen


### Key Features Include



* Therma-Loc resin boosts performance in high-heat
* Improved scoop for effortless ground ball pickups.
* Redesigned bottom rail and mid-low pocket profile to facilitate ball control
* Sym-Rail eliminates excess weight and provides improved stiffness.
* Optional LOC-THROAT feature for better head-to-handle attachment or leave out for lightweight performance.


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [Maverik Optik 3.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/maverik/optik-3-0/l165698) and the [STX Surgeon 900](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/maverik/optik-3-0/l165698)

The Warrior Evo QX-O carves a niche in the offensive space, battling it out with the Maverik Optik 3.0 and STX Surgeon 900 for the title of top offensive weapon. All three prioritize a balance of power and control, but cater to slightly different playing styles. The Evo QX-O boasts a mid-pocket depth and a pinched face shape, offering a sweet spot for powerful shots and maintaining a good feel for dodges and passing. The Maverik Optik 3.0 features a slightly deeper pocket and a wider face, leaning towards maximizing power in shots and holds for aggressive offensive plays. Conversely, the STX Surgeon 900 takes a more traditional approach with a medium-depth pocket and a balanced face shape, excelling in versatility for strong throws, accurate passing, and decent ground ball pick-up. 


### Progression:

The Warrior Evo lacrosse head is a popular choice for players of all levels, and it has seen several iterations over the years. Here's the progression:

Evo (1999-2000): The original Evo was designed to be lightweight and featured a refined offset patent for improved release points.

[Evo 2](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/evolution-2-0/strung/l320960): Built upon the original's success, the Evo 2 was about trying to increase ball control in the pocket and accuracy out of the pocket. It has a redesigned throat and the amount of offset in the head increased. 

[Evo 3](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/evolution-3x/l9138): Saw significant changes including custom color heads, increased sidewall string holes from ten to 13, and a shortened throat. 

[Evo 4](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/evo-4/l7007): Introduced the SYM-RAILTM technology, which aimed to reduce weight strategically while maintaining overall stiffness.

[Evo 5](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/evo-5/l7064): Further refinements, including the Tilt Tech string hole setup for a lower pocket and improved control. It also boasts a Throat Lock for a secure fit on the shaft and a stiffer design overall.

[Evo QX-O](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/evo-qx-o/l164309): Designed for offensive players, it’s approximately 20 grams lighter than the Evo 5. Has an Improved scoop for better ground ball control and a new Therma-Loc resin for increased stiffness and face shape retention in hot weather. 


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* I quickly grew to love the QX-O. It’s durable and capable of taking the biggest of stick checks.
* This is my favorite of the Warrior’s—very lightweight, durable, and great face shape.
* The optional throat plug is the best feature.

CONS



* It felt a little stiff and less forgiving than other Warrior heads I've used.
* The QX-O offers fewer sidewall stringing holes compared to other heads. 
* I prefer a more responsive head. This one is stiff. 


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

 
The Warriors started making up some crazy names for their heads. This model is made for an offensive player who’s looking for more ball control with a quick release on passing and shooting. The big selling point is that it's 20 grams lighter than the previous model and has an upgraded rail system. The material makes it a stiffer head, and it helps the head retain its shape in high-heat environments. It has an updated scoop to make ground balls that much easier.

# Warrior Evo 5 Lacrosse Heads
The Warrior Evo 5 Lacrosse Head is a force to be reckoned with for offensive midfielders and attackmen seeking power, control, and pinpoint accuracy. Its selling points are undeniable: the Tilt-Tech stringing holes facilitate a low-mid pocket placement, while the Sym-Rail technology shaves weight without sacrificing stiffness.

The Evo 5 seamlessly integrates into Warrior's rich lacrosse history, marked by consistent advancements in equipment and technology. Established in Warren, Michigan, Warrior quickly made a name for itself with its innovative gloves and pads. However, the Evo series specifically targeted the offensive end of the field. The Evo 5 is a testament to Warrior's dedication to refining and perfecting offensive offerings. 


### Perfect head for: offensive midfielders and attackmen


### Key Features Include



* Tilt-Tech string hole design
* TruOffset® Technology deepens the pocket for enhanced ball control and shot power
* Bottom Rail Designed for mid to low-pocket placement
* Sym-Rail gets rid of excess weight while providing greater stiffness in the design


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [ECD Rebel Offense](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/east-coast-dyes/rebel/l8819) and the [STX Hyper Power](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/hyper-power/l168596)

When compared to its competitors, the Warrior Evo 5 sits in a sweet spot for offensive players seeking a balance between hold and power. It boasts a stiffer pocket than the ECD Rebel Offense, making it ideal for low-pocket setups and powerful shots, while still offering enough flexibility for a good feel on the ball. The STX Hyper Power leans even further towards stiffness and power, but at the expense of some of the Evo 5's versatility in terms of pocket formation and overall feel. Ultimately, the choice between these three comes down to individual preference and playing style, with the Evo 5 offering a compelling blend of power, hold, and feel for offensive players.


### Progression: 

The Warrior Evo lacrosse head is a popular choice for players of all levels, and it has seen several iterations over the years. Here's the progression:



* **[Evo](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/evo-74/l10506) (1999-2000):** The original Evo was designed to be lightweight and featured a refined offset patent for improved release points. 

* **[Evo 2](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/evo-2-0/l8958):** The Evo 2 built upon the original's success was about trying to increase ball control in the pocket and accuracy out of the pocket. It has a redesigned throat and the amount of offset in the head increased.  

* **[Evo 3](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/evolution-3x/l9138):** The Evo 3 saw significant changes, including custom color heads, an increased number of sidewall string holes from ten to 13, and a shortened throat.

It also boasts a Throat Lock for a secure fit on the shaft and a stiffer design overall.


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* The Evo 5 is probably my favorite head ever. It has a little flex but is great for middies and attacks.
* It works best with a mid-high pocket.
*  The lock mechanism is great, with zero wobble. 

CONS



* Not many string holes, but if strung well it doesn't matter.
* The throat lock was tough. I needed sandpaper to make it work.
* The ball stop has fallen off all three Warrior EVO 5 heads I have.


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

The Warrior Evo 5 was the head of choice by players such as UVA attackman Xander Dickson. It's made to be light and accurate with a ton of ball control. It's got a lot of sidewall holes that would allow for multiple sidewall patterns, so you have a ton of different stringing options. Some players like to do a high pocket with a little bit more whip, and some like a mid to low pocket for less whip and more control. This head is for players who'd like to have the ball lower in the pocket, but it's also versatile in what you can do with it.

### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [Maverik Optik 3.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/optik-3-0/l165698) and the [STX Surgeon 900](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/surgeon-900/l65241)

Carving a space in the offensive arena, the ECD Ion Head takes on established contenders like the Maverik Optik 3.0 and STX Surgeon 900, each offering distinct advantages. The Maverik Optik 3.0 champions customization with its interchangeable faceplate technology, allowing players to tailor the pocket to their preferences. It boasts a mid-pocket design suitable for both powerful shots and controlled passing. The STX Surgeon 900, on the other hand, caters to players who value traditional pocket feel and precise passing. Its wider face shape and deeper pocket offer optimal hold and control over the ball, making it ideal for those who prioritize pinpoint accuracy. The ECD Ion stands out for its lightweight design and focus on speed, making it a great choice for fast-paced offensive players. Its tight face shape and mid-low pocket encourage quick releases and powerful throws on the run. 


### Progression:

While the Ion doesn't have a directly traceable predecessor, it benefits from ECD's existing knowledge, player feedback, and understanding of the attack lacrosse head market.


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

Pros: 



* The Ion feels light and well-balanced. It allows for fast shots and accurate passing and catching. Cradling is comfortable.
* Surprisingly great. The clear plastic really looks awesome. Doesn’t feel brittle like the older clear plastic heads including the DNA diamond.
* This head has all the best qualities of the Maverik Optik 3.0 with an even tighter release. 

Cons: 



* I like this head - it's light and performs great. But, it's too fragile. I've had two breaks in 8 months at the throat. If it were more durable, it'd be the best ever.
* Used this new lacrosse head in college practice and after 7-8 months it cracked near the throat. Love the color and design but not perfect yet.
* It's been working okay for me. Was not easy at first to string the right pocket.


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

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.
