# Nike L3 Head

  

The Nike L3 Lacrosse Head, a successor to the iconic Lakota line, carves its niche as a top-tier option for midfielders. Its tight face shape enhances control and accuracy, while the deep bottom rail facilitates a mid-to-high pocket ideal for quick releases. The PowerForm material boasts increased stiffness and durability, making it a reliable companion in any condition. This head caters to advanced players seeking versatility across passing, dodging, and ground balls.

  

While not the first foray for Nike into lacrosse, the L3 signifies a renewed focus on the sport. It leverages the brand's legacy of innovation, applying it to modern materials and designs. By building upon the success of the Lakota, Nike refines a popular choice for midfield dominance.

**Perfect head for:** elite midfielders

### Key Features Include

-   PowerForm material for increased stiffness and toughness
    
-   Tight face shape for control and accuracy
    
-   Optimal shape for ground ball play
    
-   Stringing favorite, deep mid-angle pocket setup
    
-   Short round throat allows you to get your hand very high on the lacrosse shaft
    

  

### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [STX Hyper Power](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/hyper-power/l168596) and the [StringKing Mark 2V](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2v/l760)

  

Designed for well-rounded midfielders, the Nike L3 finds itself competing with the STX Hyper Power and the StringKing Mark 2V, each offering distinct advantages on the field. The L3 prioritizes a lightweight design and a shallower pocket, making it ideal for quick transitions, ground ball pickups, and facilitating checks. The STX Hyper Power leans towards a stiffer pocket and wider face shape, excelling at generating powerful shots and holds for offensive plays. The StringKing Mark 2V takes a middle ground, featuring a mid-depth pocket and a balanced face shape, offering versatility for both offensive and defensive contributions, with good pocket customization options.

### Progression:

The Nike L3 is a rebranding of the Lakota 2 with a material upgrade. While the L3 retains the core features of the Lakota line, some players might not perceive a significant difference in feel or performance between the Lakota 2 and the L3. All three models are designed for offensive players and excel at quick release and accurate shooting.

  

[Original Nike Lakota](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/nike/lakota/l7061)

-   Lightweight and compact design provides extra ball security
    
-   Reinforced lower sidewall offers increased stiffness
    
-   Multiple stringing holes for a variety of setups
    
-   Built to universal specification for all levels of play
    

  

[Nike Lakota 2.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/nike/lakota-2/l604)

-   HyperLite™ Technology reduces the overall weight of the head
    
-   Secure Lacelock Technology along the sidewalls helps reinforce pocket tension
    
-   Narrow pinch face and offset enhance accuracy for pinpoint passes and shots
    
-   Optimized rounded scoop ensures easier groundball pick-up performance
    
-   Redesigned sidewalls boast greater stiffness for added durability and consistency
    

  

[Nike L3](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/nike/l3-2/l168650)

-   Changed from Lakota to L3, potentially signifying a new era for the design, but retaining the core features of the Lakota line.
    
-   Exclusive PowerForm material for increased stiffness and toughness
    
-   Tight face shape for control and accuracy
    
-   Stringing favorite for its deep mid-angle pocket setup
    
-   Short round throat allows you to get your hand very high on the lacrosse shaft
    

  

### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

  

PROS

-   I switched to the L3 from the old model, and it's a perfect upgrade. The plastic is lighter and stiffer, and the face shape is great. Although there are plenty of stringing holes, I wish the sidewall holes were slightly larger.
    
-   Can be strung in various ways to fit any pocket location (high to low). Suitable for traditional style. Feels stiff. If you liked Lakota 2, you'll love L3.
    
-   One of the best middie heads I have used. The offset and the face shape makes it perfect for a fast shooter.
    

  

CONS

-   I prefer a wide range of user reviews before making a purchase and I can’t hardly find anything useful about the L3.
    
-   Gotta spend the time to break this head in to achieve optimal performance.
    
-   Not my favorite head to string up.
    

  

### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports))

  

The Nike L3 brings a new design to one of Nike’s most popular heads. The Lakota line is for the elite midfielder. It has a tighter face shape designed for greater control and accuracy. This head lets you rip lasers or dish dimes. The head is made with Nike’s Powerform material to ensure stiffness and durability and has an optimal shape for ground balls.

# Nike CEO 2 Lacrosse Heads

The Nike CEO 2 lacrosse head builds upon the success of the original CEO while targeting ambitious faceoff midfielders and offensive players. It features a shortened throat creating closer hand placement for increased power and control during faceoffs, an aggressive Scoop designed for easier ground ball pickups from any angle, and a high-pinch profile ensuring crisp passes and laser-focused shots when transitioning to offense.

The CEO 2 seamlessly integrates into Nike's lacrosse legacy. While Nike entered the sport later than some competitors, it quickly made a name for itself with innovative and high-performance gear. The CEO 2 combines proven features from the original with modern design elements. The CEO 2 remains a popular choice for players seeking faceoff dominance and offensive prowess.


**Perfect head for:** faceoff midfielders and attackmen


### Key Features Include



* An aggressive scoop for ground balls while attacking or dominating the faceoff
* A shortened throat creates closer hand placement, generating power and control
* Flex Zones and stiff shoulders add strength and stability 


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [StringKing Mark 2F](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2f/l7515) and the [ECD Weapon X](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/east-coast-dyes/weapon-x/l10504)

In the face-off circle, the Nike CEO 2 carves a niche between the StringKing Mark 2F and the ECD Weapon X, catering to players with different face-off styles. While the Weapon X prioritizes raw power and leverage with its aggressive design and stiff construction, the CEO 2 strikes a balance between power and control. Its mid-stiff pocket and wider face shape offer strong clamps and a good ground ball feel for contested situations. On the other hand, the Mark 2F is a specialist designed for pure ground ball dominance with its angled scoop and stiffer build. Its shorter throat provides increased leverage, but its lack of versatility might not suit players who need to adapt to different face-off situations. 


### Progression:

The CEO lacrosse head series features three models: the CEO, the CEO 2.0, and the CEO 3.0. Here's a breakdown of their progression:

[Nike CEO](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/nike/ceo/l721): 



* The original Nike CEO head was designed for elite offensive players.
* It gained popularity among face-off specialists due to its optimal stiffness and unique flex point, offering an advantage in securing ground balls and winning draws.
* The head featured a high and wide scoop, well-suited for mid-pocket stringing styles.

[Nike CEO 2:](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/nike/ceo-2-2/l11445) 



* An updated version of the original
* It retains the strengths of its predecessor, including the optimal stiffness and a high, wide scoop.
* Modernized design and improved functionality compared to the original CEO.

[Nike CEO 3](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/nike/ceo-3/l352849):



* Building on the success of the previous models, the CEO 3 prioritizes face-off specialists even more.
* It features a shortened throat design for closer hand placement, enhancing power and control during face-offs.
* A zero-friction scoop for easier ground ball pickups from various angles, aiding offensive plays.
* Updated flex profile to provide face-off players with multiple options for controlling the draw efficiently.


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* I bought two sturdy and flexible Nike CEO 2 lacrosse heads for the face-off. They are well-built and can withstand a lot of punishment.
* Really nice head. The ball stays in the pocket till you shoot. Provides clean, accurate shots.
* Fantastic at the X. It's reliable and durable, and the pointed scoop helps to increase accuracy. I've been using it for two years now. It's definitely a good pick-up for any offensive-minded player.

CONS



* Hybrid flexes like this head may have issues with spooning, but it's still better than the original CEO. 
* The scoop is not great. It’s pointed so if the ball is not right in the center of the head, the ground ball will not work. Also, the head gets stuck in the ground if you're going on an aggressive angle. 
* The plug in the head creates a wobble on the shaft. I’ve broken 3 carbon shafts in 3 games in the same spot because the plug in the stick wedges and snaps the carbon.


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 


With the CEO 2, Nike tried to step up the model slightly. They made the plastic more durable, so it would rebound a bit easier and hold its shape better than its predecessor. They reworked the scoop so you could win it forward to yourself more easily. They reworked the throat of the head so you could pinch and pop it backward without the head pinching too much. It's a head made for a faceoff guy.

Evo Qx-O

# 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.

The Warrior Burn represents a significant leap forward in Warrior's lacrosse helmet technology, solidifying their place in the high-performance market. Warrior has released small updates to the Burn since its introduction. These involve refinements to the Viconic system, and BOA® fit for even better performance and comfort. 


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

PROS: 



* This helmet definitely prioritizes safety. The Viconic plates in the key impact zones and VN foam liner work together to absorb impacts really well.
* This helmet is comfortable to wear throughout long games. The lightweight design and plush liner make a big difference. Plus, the ventilation channels keep my head cool and dry.
* Being able to fine-tune the fit with the adjustable straps and different padding options is a big plus. It makes a big difference in comfort.

CONS: 



* The Burn falls on the pricier side compared to some other lacrosse helmets I’ve had. 
* The sizing runs a bit large. Make sure to take proper measurements and consider consulting the size chart before purchasing.
* The color options could be more diverse, especially for the base model.


### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround)) 

The Warrior Burn lacrosse helmet is a great helmet for attackmen. The key feature is the Viconic shell technology, which is super effective at absorbing impact without adding a ton of weight. This means a comfortable, secure fit that won't bog you down. Keep in mind that the Burn sits at a higher price point than some other helmets, but for top-notch protection with a lightweight feel, it's an excellent choice for many players.

### Expert notes ([by elite seller Benaround](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/benaround))

Although the EVO sits at the higher end of the price range for lacrosse helmets, it's worth it if you play competitive lacrosse and need high-end protection features.

The Nike CEO Lacrosse Head isn't just a namesake—it’s a face-off performance champion. Explicitly designed for midfielders, it boasts a shortened throat for power and control during draws, an aggressive scoop for effortless ground ball pickups, and a zero-friction design for lightning-fast reactions. 

This head isn't just about individual dominance; it also marks a significant chapter in Nike's lacrosse legacy. While Nike entered the scene focusing on offensive sticks, the CEO series specifically targeted the midfield. It quickly gained recognition for its exceptional face-off prowess, solidifying Nike's commitment to cater to all aspects of the game. 


### **Perfect head for:** offensive players and face-off midfielders


### Key Features Include:



* The bottom rail is ideal for mid-pocket placement
* The most pinched universal head in the Nike line
* Elongated bottom rail designed for mid-pocket placement
* Reinforced sidewall delivers durability
* 8 top wall string holes and 16 sidewall string holes
* Meets NCAA and NFHS specifications


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [STX Duel 3](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/duel-3-2/l172275) and the [StringKing Mark 2F Stiff](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2f-stiff/l406788)

While the Nike CEO reigns supreme for elite face-off specialists with its high-flex profile and narrow scoop, it faces stiff competition from the STX Duel 3 and StringKing Mark 2F Stiff. The STX Duel 3 also prioritizes face-off dominance with its refined high-flex profile and similar narrow scoop design. However, the Duel 3 incorporates XT2 sidewall technology for increased stiffness and stability, appealing to face-off specialists who value a more secure feel during clamps. The StringKing Mark 2F Stiff takes a slightly different approach, catering to two-way midfielders who participate in both face-offs and regular play. Its stiff construction offers power for both face-offs and shots, while the mid-pocket design allows for decent control during passing and cradling.


### Progression:

Over the years, the Nike CEO Lacrosse head has steadily refined its scoop, stiffness, and weight for optimal performance.  


[Nike CEO](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/nike/ceo/l721): 



* The original Nike CEO head was designed for elite offensive players.
* It gained popularity among face-off specialists due to its optimal stiffness and unique flex point, offering an advantage in securing ground balls and winning draws.
* The head featured a high and wide scoop, well-suited for mid-pocket stringing styles.

[Nike CEO 2](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/nike/ceo-2-2/l11445) 



* An updated version of the original, it retains the strengths of its predecessor, including the optimal stiffness and a high, wide scoop.
* Modernized design and improved functionality compared to the original CEO.

[Nike CEO 3](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/nike/ceo-3/l352849):



* Building on the success of the previous models, the CEO 3 prioritizes face-off specialists even more than before.
* It features a shortened throat design for closer hand placement, enhancing power and control during face-offs.
* A zero-friction scoop for easier ground ball pickups from various angles, aiding offensive plays.
* Updated flex profile to provide face-off players with multiple options for controlling the draw efficiently.


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* Good for the faceoff guy. This head can withstand a lot of punishment.
* Ball stays in the pocket until you shoot. Provides clean, accurate shots. String job with hero mesh is the way to go.
* This is a great weapon to have at the X. Super durable and after one year, still performing at the highest level.

CONS



* The scoop is just okay; it’s pointed so if the ball is not right in the center of the head, the ground ball will not work. Also, the head gets stuck in the ground if you're going on an aggressive angle. 
* Exits well, but will need to put a softball in it every day.
* GB are 50/50; sometimes the head folds in so you have to get pretty low for them.


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

 
The Nike CEO is the first generation of the CEO line that Nike came out with. The design gave faceoffs a whole new perspective of the game because the head is really flexible. You can do a lot with it. And it will continuously hold its shape. The head allows you to define how you want to take a face-off. If you're more of a player who wants to pinch the ball and pop it out backward to your wing, then you'd have the ability to do that because the Nike CEO is strong and flexible enough to get that angle and pop. Also, it's a great head for picking up the ground ball from any angle.

Evo Qx-D

### Expert Notes 

The Warrior Evo lacrosse head was made for offensive midfielders and attackmen. This elite level head is designed to have a lower pocket, giving players the power to have more control of the ball and allowing for more whip in the head of your stick. The neck of the head has two screw holes to anchor the Evo down to reduce the risk of breaking or rattling. The rail system of the head is stiffer and stronger, while reducing the weight to give you a faster shot. It also gives you the option to have a bunch of string holes to create your perfect pocket.

Burn X

### Product Description 

The Warrior Burn X lacrosse head is designed for the offensive-minded player looking for a quick release, maximum shot power and faster ground ball pick-ups. This sleek head is re-engineered with a slim profile and narrower scoop at the throat for more ball control and an enhanced feel. The Sym-Rail Twist technology reduces weight in the sidewalls without sacrificing overall stiffness or strength. The Warrior Burn X also features max stringing holes for a completely customizable pocket to match any playing style and pocket preference. The Warrior Burn X is an extremely lightweight and durable lacrosse head perfect for offensive-minded players.


### Expert Notes

The Warrior Burn X is a head designed with a narrower throat and a wide scoop, making it a weapon of choice for long-stick midfielders and defensive middies alike. Basically, the head is a cross-breed of an Evo 4 and a Clutch 3, combining both offensive and defensive elements to make it great for ground balls, shooting, and landing hard checks. Players love the wide, rounded scoop because it helps them pluck ground balls out of a scrum, and then quickly funnels the ball to the center of the pocket. Once in the channel, the tighter pinch helps players retain possession of the ball; upon release, the Burn X provides pinpoint accuracy on passes. The head is also engineered from some of the lightest, sturdiest material you’ll find. The head only weighs 4.7 ounces, which helps players increase their shot speed. Despite its lightweight nature, the Burn X is still highly resistant to cracks, breaks, and bends. Overall, the Warrior Burn X is a universally legal head perfect for elite LSMs and defensive midfielders who also want to make their presence felt at the offensive end of the field.
