A good head and string job matters more for attackmen than any other position on the field.
Attackmen carry the ball, run the offense, dodge one-on-one against poles and shoot all game long. An attack head needs the right balance of durability and light weight, with a face shape that helps your control and accuracy.
To find the best attack heads, I started with 25 options built for attack or offense in general. I looked at what college players use and what sells best, read customer reviews and hit my local lax shops to get them in my own hands. The result is the 16 best attack heads below, including where each one shines and where it falls short.
Coach's note: I've coached attackmen from upstate New York to Virginia Beach, and plenty of box kids up in Ontario who could hide the ball in a phone booth. The best ones never blamed the head. They found one they trusted, strung it the same way every time and lived on the wall. Pick the head that fits how you play, not the one your favorite pro uses.
Heads up: BattleLax carries a lot of these heads, including the Gait Mustang, Optik Force, Torq 3, Mark 3V, Kinetik 3 and Burn XP2-O. For the rest, I point you to the closest head they stock, and you'll find the full list below.

Best attack lacrosse head reviews
1. Gait Mustang Lacrosse Head Top pick
The Gait Mustang has been in my bag of attack heads for two years, and the plastic still doesn't have a mark on it. The wider face and stiff top give you a bigger sweet spot, so it's easier to catch and control passes in traffic.
The pinched sidewalls cut down on spread and make your feeds more accurate. I ripped some long-range shots with it, and it shot faster than the Maverik Optik Force.
It's stiff, so it doesn't give much on checks and doesn't soak up impact well. Still, it helped me hang onto the ball under pressure. The slightly curved, less pinched throat feels secure cradling in tight spaces.
The aggressive scoop and rounded edges make ground balls easy, even in traffic. Gait's Critical Cavity Technology also cuts weight and protects your top lace.
The mid-high pocket and max offset give you great control and feel. It's a chunky-looking head, but the Mustang gives you the perfect mix of stiffness and durability.

- Slightly flexible sidewalls absorb checks
- Fast long-range shots
- Very durable
- Lots of sidewall holes
- A little heavy
- Doesn't absorb impact well

2. Nike Surge Elite Lacrosse Head Fastest shot
Nike built the Surge Elite with stiff Powerfoam plastic, which makes it great for attackmen. At about 4.7 ounces, it shoots fast and passes accurately.
The slightly pinched sidewalls set up a mid-high pocket and gave me great control for quick releases. The ball stayed centered whether I was feeding on the run or shooting from outside.
The deep offset and aggressive scoop funnel the ball right into the pocket, and the narrow throat and pinched face kept it locked in when I was cradling in traffic.
The rounded scoop helped me pick up ground balls from all kinds of angles without having to get too low.
It felt too stiff the first few games, but once it broke in, it was really responsive on quick feeds and checks. It's not as forgiving as the Nike Lakota 3, but its durability and consistent shooting put it among the top attack heads out there.
See it live Northern Soul Sportswear on YouTube
- Fast shots
- Minimal spread
- Deep offset for easy cradling
- Long break-in
BattleLax pick: BattleLax doesn't carry the Nike Surge Elite. For a stiff, light attack head they stock, go with the StringKing Mark 3A ($119.99).

3. Maverik Optik Force Lacrosse Head Most accurate
Next up is the Maverik Optik Force, the successor to the Optik 3. At about 4.85 ounces, the Force-tech plastic has an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio. It's stiff and durable but light.
The shorter throat and honeycomb ball stop let you choke up for powerful releases, and my shots stayed accurate even from distance. It doesn't shoot quite as fast as the Nike Surge Elite, though.
The quick release and responsiveness let me deliver fast feeds on the run, so it's a great attack head if you value accuracy over raw speed.
I strung it with a mid-low pocket using StringKing Type 5 mesh, which gave me better control and cradling than a low pocket. The pinched rails kept the ball locked in on quick stick work and dodges.
The face is wide enough to catch passes easily. The tapered edges made side-angle pickups a little tricky, but the aggressive scoop still cleaned up ground balls with two or three guys swarming.
See it live Northern Soul Sportswear on YouTube
- Great strength-to-weight ratio
- Consistent release
- High-quality plastic
- Sharp ball stop
- Not as fast a shooter as some
- Side-angle ground balls are tricky

Read more: My full Maverik Optik Force review
4. Gait Torq 3 Lacrosse Head Lightest Gait
Gait gave the Torq 3 a noticeably different face shape and design than the Torq 2. At about 4.5 ounces, it's one of the lightest attack heads out there, so your stick work takes less effort and your dodges and feeds get quicker.
The wider face is great for crease attackmen who want a quick release and fast shots. The shape also helps you control the ball in fast-paced offense, so it's less likely to get knocked loose.
The moderately angled, parallel sidewalls held the ball well, and the tighter channel kept it secure through constant checks. I cradled through traffic with ease and scored plenty on the run. The lower walls don't flex much, though, which can lead to the odd off-center shot with a little rattle.
It's stiffer than the Torq 2 but a little softer than the Maverik Optik, so it has some give. That makes it less likely to crack on impact and helps it hold its shape when you shoot.
See it live Total Lacrosse on YouTube
- Light and durable
- Well-spaced sidewall holes
- Wide face for easy catching
- Little to no spread
- Stiff pocket
At BattleLax: In stock now. Grab the Gait Torq 3 ($99.99) straight from BattleLax.
5. StringKing Mark 3V Lacrosse Head Best for outside shooters
As an outside attackman, I count on fast, accurate shots from the perimeter, and I love the optimized throat on the Mark 3V. It keeps the ball from getting stuck and gives you a smooth, controlled release.
The ultra-strong plastic is extremely durable and warp resistant. Even with rough use, it held its shape and stiffness in extreme temperatures.
StringKing's strut design keeps the sidewalls stiff enough to absorb impact and cut down on unwanted flex, so the release stays consistent and predictable.
The secure locking bolt cut down on head rattle and gave me a solid connection to the shaft. It has 32 sidewall holes for a ton of stringing options, but I saw some spread on long shots with a shallow mid pocket.
So I strung it mid-high for even more power. Younger players should change up the pocket depth to avoid losing the ball in traffic, since the stiff profile is less forgiving when you're cradling through a crowd.
Otherwise, it's a great head for high-level outside attackmen who want durability and speed.
See it live LacrosseMonkey on YouTube
- Extremely durable and weather resistant
- Stiff strut design absorbs checks
- Consistent ground balls
- 32 sidewall holes
- Pocket depth needs adjusting for young players
- Some spread on long shots

6. ECD Mirage 2.0 Lacrosse Head Best for shooters
I've used the ECD Mirage 2.0 for two years, and it's a really versatile head. Even years after its release, it's still one of the top picks for attackmen and offensive middies. The face is nicely pinched for tight ball control.
It's heavier than most heads on this list at about 5.0 ounces, but the plastic is durable and weather resistant. Other than a few crease marks, it showed no wear even after constant practice.
The deep offset holds the ball well and gives you a smooth release on passes and shots. The well-spaced stringing holes set up a mid to mid-high pocket. I bought it pre-strung and love how easily it generates power on outside shots and step-downs.
The pocket holds the ball higher, which gives you better control shooting on the run. If you like a lower pocket for dodging or feeding from X, go with the Maverik Optik Force.
Either way, the stiff top rail and wider face add shot speed and keep the head from warping during the game.
See it live Top String Lacrosse on YouTube
- Durable and weather resistant
- Warp resistant
- Generates power on outside shots
- Heavy
- Fewer sidewall holes
BattleLax pick: BattleLax doesn't carry the ECD Mirage 2.0. Its successor, the ECD Mirage 3.0 ($109.99), is the one they stock.
Read more: ECD Mirage 2.0 Graphene
7. Maverik Kinetik 3 Lacrosse Head Most versatile
The Maverik Kinetik 3 is an exciting update for offensive players. It has a slightly narrower face than the Kinetik 2, which is one of my all-time favorite shapes.
What I love most is how versatile it is. It's labeled for outside shooters, but it's just as good for crease work and quick catch-and-shoots. The narrow channel keeps the ball snug, so I'm confident winding up or faking inside.
Duratuff plastic keeps the Kinetik 3 stiff, even in extreme conditions. Trust me, it held up fine at 106°F. The curved scoop funnels the ball into the pocket when you're fighting for it around the crease.
The Tension Lock let me string a well-defined channel for maximum hold, and the shorter throat with two screw holes locks the head on tight. No wobble at all.
See it live ECD Lacrosse on YouTube
- Narrow profile for control
- Tension Lock for easier stringing
- Warp resistant
- Durable Duratuff plastic
- Less surface area for off-angle catches
- Expensive
At BattleLax: In stock now. Grab the Maverik Kinetik 3 ($109.99) straight from BattleLax.
8. STX Stallion Prism Lacrosse Head Best looking
The STX Stallion Prism is built for attackmen and offensive middies who like a balanced head. It came out in 2025 in two bold looks, neon "slime" and fully clear, and it turns heads on the field.
At about 5.3 to 5.4 ounces, it's heavier than the Stallion 1K, thanks to thicker sidewalls. That extra weight actually made my shots more accurate, and the shorter throat gives you good hand placement for shots from range.
The stiff sidewalls absorb impact well, and the moderately wide face gives you great control on ground balls and catches. I strung a mid pocket, which gave me a good balance of hold and a quick, clean release for feeds and close-range shots.
- Great shot accuracy
- Stands-out look
- Short throat for better hand placement
- Stiff walls absorb impact
- Expensive
- A little heavy
BattleLax pick: BattleLax doesn't carry the STX Stallion Prism. BattleLax doesn't carry STX heads. For a light, pinched attack head they stock, go with the ECD Ion ($119.99).
Read more: My full STX Stallion Prism review
9. Maverik Optik 3.0 Best low pocket
The Optik 3.0 was Maverik's elite attack head before the Optik Force came along, and it's still a great head if you can find one.
Compared to the Optik 2.0, which used to be our highest-rated attack head, the 3.0 has a shorter throat for more control cradling one-handed, more sidewall holes (20 on each side) and a little more stiffness.
It has a tight pinch through most of the head, which gives you more control dodging and more accuracy shooting and passing. The extra stringing holes and Maverik's Tension Lock make it super easy to string.
With a low offset, it's great for low or mid-low pockets. If you like a mid-high pocket, go with something else.
Overall, it's an amazing attack head, with a great face shape, plenty of stiffness and a short throat that helps one-handed cradling.
See it live ECD Lacrosse on YouTube
- Light
- Stiff and durable
- Tight face shape
- Short throat for one-handed cradling
- Not great for mid-high pockets
BattleLax pick: BattleLax doesn't carry the Maverik Optik 3.0. The newer Maverik Optik Force ($109.99) replaced it, and that's the one they stock.
Read more: My full Maverik Optik 2.0 review
10. STX Surgeon 900 Lightest head
The STX Surgeon 900 makes the list for its light weight, narrow face and stiff plastic.
It's one of the lightest heads ever made, at only about 4.4 ounces, and it's surprisingly stiff for how light it is. It's not quite as stiff as some bulkier, heavier attack heads like the ECD Rebel Offense, though.
The face is narrow all the way up. It pinches tight until about halfway, then flares toward a scoop that's still pretty narrow. That makes it great for carrying the ball, whether you're dodging from X, coming off the wing or going down the alley.
STX also gave it the Speed Scoop, which is great for ground balls at any angle and hangs slightly over the top string holes so your strings don't get in the way.
See it live GopherLax 5 on YouTube
- Extremely light
- Narrow face
- Great scoop
- Not as stiff as some
BattleLax pick: BattleLax doesn't carry the STX Surgeon 900. BattleLax doesn't carry STX heads. For a super-light attack head they stock, go with the ECD Ion ($119.99).
11. StringKing Mark 2A Best for catching
If you want an attack head with a slightly wider face, the StringKing Mark 2A is a great option.
It pinches toward the throat but starts flaring out lower than a lot of heads. That helps you catch, but you give up a little hold depending on your string job.
It has a traditional offset toward the throat, so it's easy to string the low pockets that are great for one-handed cradling. Like most StringKing heads, it has a ton of sidewall holes, too.
It's pretty stiff for how light it is and should hold up well over a season. The flat scoop is good on ground balls and helps with a quicker, more accurate release.
If you want an attack head with great stringing options and a great strength-to-weight ratio, the Mark 2A is a solid choice.
See it live RedStarLacrosse on YouTube
- Lots of sidewall holes
- Great scoop
- Very light
- Low offset for one-handed cradling
- Wider face than some
BattleLax pick: BattleLax doesn't carry the StringKing Mark 2A. Its successor, the StringKing Mark 3A ($119.99), is the one they stock.
12. Epoch Integra Z-One Best for low pockets
The Epoch Integra Z-One is another great attack head thanks to its light weight and tight face. It has one of my favorite face shapes on this list.
It pinches through most of the head, then flares toward the scoop, which helps with ball control and accuracy.
Epoch did a great job with the sidewall holes. There are larger holes up top for your top string, lots of smaller holes through the middle, and bigger ones again toward the throat.
The max offset sits low, so it's a good head for low pockets, which a lot of attackmen like.
On the downside, Epoch seems to have given up a little stiffness to make it lighter. It's not flimsy, but if you want a really stiff head, it might not be for you.
- Tight face
- Smart sidewall hole layout
- Pretty light
- Not as stiff as some
- Not great for mid-high pockets
BattleLax pick: BattleLax doesn't carry the Epoch Integra Z-One. For an offensive head they stock, go with the Adrenaline Automatic Offensive Head ($99.99).
13. Warrior Burn XP2-O Best for outside power
The Burn XP2-O is the offense head in Warrior's Burn line, and it has a tight face that works for any offensive player.
It's built for outside shooters but plays well all over the field. It flexes in specific spots to generate more power on big shots.
That flex takes some getting used to and can cause some trouble on ground balls, but the Therma-Loc plastic helps keep it from going soft in the heat.
It has a pretty dramatic offset toward the throat that it holds until about two-thirds up the head, so you can string almost any pocket. If you're an attackman who likes anything from a low to a mid pocket, it's a solid choice.
You can also get it with the built-in Warp pocket. I like to string my own, but the Warp pocket has gotten better over the years. It also has a removable Loc-Throat to cut down on head rattle, and you can take it out if you don't want the extra weight.
See it live LacrosseMonkey on YouTube
- Tight face
- Great for outside shooting
- Strings almost any pocket
- Loc-Throat cuts head rattle
- More flex than most (built for outside shooting)
At BattleLax: In stock now. Grab the Warrior Burn XP2-O ($119.99) straight from BattleLax.
14. ECD Rebel Offense Most pocket options
The ECD Rebel Offense is a great pick for attackmen and middies. It's stiff, pretty light and has a great face shape.
It pinches toward the throat and starts flaring a little lower than many offensive heads, and the scoop is a little narrower than most.
My favorite part is the stringing flexibility. The max offset is in the middle of the head, so you can string anything from mid-low to mid-high. Like most ECD heads, it has plenty of well-placed stringing holes, and I found a sidewall pattern I liked right away.
The scoop picks up ground balls from all kinds of angles and has a slight lip so your top string doesn't get in the way. Overall, it's a versatile head that should work for most attackmen.
- Works with lots of pocket placements
- Stiff for an offensive head
- Lots of stringing holes
- Great face shape
- A little heavier than some
BattleLax pick: BattleLax doesn't carry the ECD Rebel Offense. For a versatile ECD offensive head they stock, go with the ECD Mirage 3.0 ($109.99).
15. STX Hyper Power Most unique
If you liked the Proton Power, Super Power or Ultra Power, you'll love the Hyper Power, the next head in that series.
Like the Ultra Power, it has STX's Power Ramp geometry, with a traditional offset toward the throat that comes back forward toward the scoop. The idea is to push the ball down and forward so you can wind up more and hold the ball in the head longer for extra shot speed. It's unique, so it takes some getting used to.
The Power Ramp also makes high-angle ground balls easier. You don't have to drop your butt end as low since the scoop is already angled forward.
Compared to the Ultra Power, the Hyper Power has a tighter face that's closer to a Stallion. It works at any position, but we recommend it for players who like a mid to mid-high pocket.
- Very stiff and durable
- Great on ground balls
- Power Ramp adds shot speed and accuracy
- Not as many long-term reviews
- A little heavier than some
BattleLax pick: BattleLax doesn't carry the STX Hyper Power. BattleLax doesn't carry STX heads. For a head that likes a mid to mid-high pocket, go with the Maverik Havok 2.0 ($109.99).
16. Warrior Evo QX2-O Stiffest Evo
The Warrior Evo QX2-O is part of Warrior's popular Evo line. The O stands for offense, and that's exactly who it's built for.
It improves on the original QX-O with a tighter face, more stiffness and a better scoop. The face is similar to the Evo 5 and QX-O, with a pinched throat that opens up to a wide scoop, but the QX2-O is a little more pinched for better control.
It's even stiffer than the QX-O. The Therma-Loc+ plastic and updated strut design make it one of the stiffest offensive heads out there. Warrior also rounded out the scoop and trimmed extra material, so it's lighter than the last version.
Like most attack heads, it's built for low to mid-low pockets, which are great for one-handed cradling and quick feeds, and it has lots of stringing holes. Some players say the sidewall holes end early, so you may have to tie off sooner than you'd like.
- Very stiff
- Nice face shape
- Throat lock eliminates rattle
- Can be tricky to string
BattleLax pick: BattleLax doesn't carry the Warrior Evo QX2-O. For Warrior's newer Evo head they stock, go with the Warrior Evo V ($99.99), or the original Evo QX-O ($99.99).
Budget attack lacrosse heads
Looking for a cheaper head? There are some solid options. Just because a head is cheaper doesn't mean it's bad. A lot of the time, it's an older model stores are clearing out for the new releases. More in our cheap lacrosse heads guide.
- STX Surgeon 700: The older version of the Surgeon from 2017. It has a very similar face to the Surgeon 900 but is a lot heavier. Even so, it's very stiff for an attack head and has the Speed Scoop for ground balls.
- Brine King 2: Another 2017 head and a cheaper option if you want to save a few bucks. It's pretty heavy for an attack head at around 5.2 ounces, but it's durable with a decent face shape.
- Brine RP3 II X: Designed with Rob Pannell, this head has a lot of what attackmen look for. It's pretty light at about 4.9 ounces and built mainly for low pockets, though the face is wider than a lot of attack heads.
- Epoch iD Vision: Built for players around U14. The face is a little wider than higher-level attack heads, but it's a much better option than most youth and intermediate heads, and it's designed for a low to mid-low pocket.
BattleLax pick: BattleLax doesn't carry these older heads. For an attack head that won't break the bank, the Gait Mustang ($99.99), Gait Torq 3 ($99.99) and Warrior Evo QX-O ($99.99) are all under $100.
What to look for in an attack lacrosse head
With so many attack heads out there, it's hard to pick. Here's what matters most.
1. Face shape
Most attackmen like a narrow face, especially in the bottom half of the head. A tight pinch keeps the ball in your stick, which is huge when you're carrying the ball a lot. There are exceptions. Crease attackmen may want a wider head to catch passes easier, and newer players may want a wider face until they're confident catching.
2. Weight
Weight is probably next. Lighter heads are easier to handle and help you shoot faster since your stick moves faster. I consider any offensive head under 5 ounces light, and anything under about 4.6 ounces extremely light. See our lightest heads and shafts.
3. Stiffness and durability
Stiffness doesn't matter as much on attack as it does on D, but it still counts. You don't want a head that bends sideways every time you scoop a ground ball. Stiff heads also hold their shape when you get checked, so your passes and shots stay consistent. Don't just judge a brand-new head. Read reviews to see how it holds up, since some heads feel stiff new but go soft in the heat or break after some use.
4. Pocket placement
Pick a head built for the pocket you like. Look at the side profile and find the max offset, where the bottom rail sits lowest. Most attackmen like a low pocket for one-handed cradling, so look for a max offset toward the throat. If you want more whip, a head built for a mid pocket might be better.
5. Scoop
Make sure you like the scoop. A good one gives you confidence picking up ground balls at any angle. More angled or curved scoops let you pick up the ball with your stick higher off the ground, while flat scoops make you bend over more, which can slow you down.
6. Stringing holes
Unlike when I played in high school, most heads now have plenty of stringing holes, but it still varies. Check the number and size of the sidewall holes to make sure they'll work with your stringing pattern.
7. Strung vs. unstrung
A few years ago, I'd have told you to always buy unstrung and string it yourself or have someone do it. These days, brands like ECD and StringKing put out much better string jobs, so strung heads are a real option. Just research whether players like the string job, and stay away from shallow factory pockets.
High school and college head rules
Since 2018, NFHS (high school) head rules have matched NCAA (college) rules. Before that, high school heads could be narrower at the throat but had to be wider at the scoop, and vice versa for college. Now any head that meets NCAA rules is legal in high school too. Here are the width rules:
- At least 6" wide at the widest part of the head
- At least 3.5" wide, front and back, at 5" up from the throat
- At least 3" wide at 3" up from the throat
- At least 3" wide at 1.25" up from the throat
Any head released since 2018 should meet these rules. If you're buying a head from 2017 or earlier, check that it meets NCAA specs. If it does, it's also legal under current NFHS rules. If not, it's likely illegal for both. Read more: What makes a lacrosse head and pocket legal?
How we rate attack lacrosse heads
We take our ratings seriously and only recommend gear we'd use ourselves. To rate each head, we test it ourselves whenever we can, dig into the specs (weight, stringing holes and so on), and read reviews and talk to players we know who use it.
When we test attack heads, we take them to the field and pass, catch, shoot, scoop ground balls and take checks, all with a standard pocket to cut down on variables. When we can't fully test a head, we spend extra time talking to players who've used it for a while. If you have feedback or want us to add a head, let us know!
Mesh and gear to go with your new head
If you buy unstrung, you'll need mesh and strings. Here are my top picks, all at BattleLax. Check out our best lacrosse mesh guide for more.
- Full string kits: ECD Hero 4.0 Complete Kit ($34.99) and StringKing Type 5x Semi-Hard String Kit ($39.99)

People also ask
What is the best lacrosse head for attack?
Our top pick is the Gait Mustang for its big sweet spot, durability and fast shots. The Maverik Optik Force, StringKing Mark 3V and Maverik Kinetik 3 are right behind it, and all four are in stock at BattleLax.
What face shape is best for attackmen?
Most attackmen like a narrow face, especially in the bottom half of the head, because a tight pinch helps you hold the ball while dodging. Crease attackmen and newer players may prefer a slightly wider face for easier catching.
How much should an attack head weigh?
Anything under 5 ounces is light for an offensive head, and under about 4.6 ounces is extremely light. Lighter heads move faster, which helps your shot and stick work.
What pocket is best for attack?
Most attackmen like a low or mid-low pocket for one-handed cradling and protection. If you want more whip on your shot, a mid pocket is a good middle ground.
Are all attack heads legal for high school and college?
Since 2018, NFHS and NCAA head rules match, so a head that meets NCAA specs is legal in high school too. Older heads from 2017 or earlier may not meet the current rules, so check before you play.
