Your lacrosse head is the single most important piece of equipment when it comes to performance.

Sure, helmets and pads are important for safety, but your lacrosse head helps determine how well you pass, shoot, catch, pick up ground balls, check, and much more.

There are countless lacrosse heads on the market today, making it hard to decide which is the best for you. To help, we've created this guide which highlights the best lacrosse heads for a variety of positions as well as 5 other guides that present the best options by position.

To get started, either click one of the links below to see the best heads for that position or keep reading to see our top 3 choices in each:

Best Lacrosse Heads by Position

Below you will find our top 3 picks for lacrosse heads by position. As new heads come out, I will update this guide if I think they are worthy of being on this page. 

To find the best lacrosse heads, I read countless customer reviews, studied which heads players at the collegiate and professional levels were using, and traveled to my local sporting goods stores to feel the heads in my own hands.

In the reviews below, any references to stiffness, weight, and other metrics are based on heads in that category. For example, the threshold for a head to have “above-average” stiffness is much high for a defensive head than a faceoff head.

Attack

1) Maverik Optik 3.0

Details

  • Weight: 4.87 oz
  • Ideal Pocket: Low to mid/low
  • Stiffness: Above-average
  • # String Holes: Above-average
  • Year Released: 2021

Just recently released in June 2021, the Optik 3.0 is the newest elite attack head in Maverik's popular Optik line. 

Compared to the Optik 2.0—which was previously our highest-rated attack head—the 3.0 has a shorter throat that gives you more control when one-handed cradling, more sidewall holes (20 on each side), and is a bit stiffer.

The Optik 3.0 has a tight pinch throughout most of the head, giving you more control when dodging and accuracy when shooting and passing.

The increased number of stringing holes, along with Maverik's Tension Lock system, make this head super easy to string. 

With a low offset, the Maverik Optik 3.0 is great for low or mid-to-low pockets. If you prefer a mid-to-high pocket, however, you may be better off going with an alternative.

Overall, this is an amazing head for attackmen. It has a great face shape, is stiff, holds its shape well, and the shortened throat gives an advantage for one-handed cradling.

If you are looking to save some money, the Maverik Optik 2.0 is still one of the best attack heads currently available.

2) STX Surgeon 900

Details

  • Weight: 4.4 oz
  • Ideal Pocket: Low to Mid
  • Stiffness: Average
  • # String Holes: Average
  • Year Released: 2020

The STX Surgeon 900 checks in next on our list of the best lacrosse heads thanks to its light weight, narrow face shape, and stiff plastic.

It is one of the lightest lacrosse heads ever created, weighing in at only 4.4 oz. It is, however, surprisingly stiff for how light it is—mostly due to STX's EnduraForm plastic which is one of the best on the market. 

With that being said, it's not quite as stiff as some of the bulkier (and heavier) attack heads such as the ECD Rebel Offense.

Another great thing about the Surgeon 900 is that it has a narrow face shape throughout the head. It has a narrow pinch until about halfway up the head then starts flaring out towards the scoop which is still pretty narrow compared to other heads.

This makes it great for carrying the ball like so many attackmen do—whether that be dodging from X, coming in from the wing, or going down the alley from up top.

The last feature I'd like to touch on is the Speed Scoop that STX used on this head. It is great for picking up ground balls at all angles and slightly hangs over the top string holes, making sure that your strings don't interfere with scooping.

3) StringKing Mark 2A

Details

  • Weight: 4.56 oz
  • Ideal Pocket: Low to mid/low
  • Stiffness: Average
  • # String Holes: Many
  • Year Released: 2017

If you prefer an attack head with a slightly wider face shape, the StringKing Mark 2A is a superb option. 

It is pinched towards the throat but starts flaring out lower on the head than many other options. This gives it a leg up on catching while sacrifycing some hold depending on your string job.

It has a traditional offset towards the throat making it easy to string those low pockets that are great for one-handed cradling.

Another thing I love about the Mark 2A (like most StringKing heads) is that it has a TON of sidewall holes, letting you customize your pocket to your play style.

It is pretty stiff for being the second-lightest head on this list and should hold up well over the course of a season.

Finally, it has a flat scoop that is good for ground balls and contributes towards a quicker and more accurate release.

Overall, if you are looking for an attack head with great stringing versatility and a great strength-to-weight ratio, the Mark 2A is a solid choice.

Midfield

1) Maverik Tactik 3.0

Details

  • Weight: 5.1 oz
  • Ideal Pocket: Mid/low to mid/high
  • Stiffness: Above-average
  • # String Holes: Above-average
  • Year Released: 2022

The Maverik Tactik 3.0 comes in as tied for first in our list of the best heads for middies—and for good reason. It's one of (if not the) best all-around midfielder heads currently available.

The Tacktik 3.0 is light, very stiff, and has a ton of stringing holes that allow you to customize your pocket to your preferences.

The Tactik 3.0 is an upgrade on what was previously rated our top-rated midielder head in the Tactik 2.0. 

The 3.0 comes with Maverik's CoreControl technology that distributes the weight to the most important parts of the head, giving you more control, increasing stiffness, and decreasing weight.

The third version of the Tactik has a level 3 bottom rail that makes it great for a mid/low to mid/high pocket—something that many middies prefer.

It has a great stiffness-to-weight ratio which makes it great for both offense and defense. Also, it has a great scoop that makes ground balls a breeze.

The Tactik 3.0's face shape is more pinched than the Tactik 2.0's face shape. It is tighter towards the throat but opens up towards the midpoint of the head like the old version did.

Overall, the Tactik 3.0 is a great choice for midfielders and I think you'll be very happy with this head from Maverik if it's what you decide to go with.

2) STX Stallion 1K

Details

  • Ideal Pocket: Mid to mid/high
  • Stiffness: Above-average
  • # String Holes: Average
  • Year Released: 2023

The brand new STX Stallion 1K ties the Tactik 3.0 as the best lacrosse head for middies in our opinion.

Unlike the older STX Stallion Omega, the 900 is much less prone to breaking and is much lighter—something that is especially noticeable when we tested shooting with the two heads.

In addition, compared to the Stallion 900, the 1K is stiffer and has better shape retention thanks to its improved EnduraForm plastic.

It still has STX's Speed Scoop which is loved by many players because it's great for ground balls but also has a slight lip the covers the top string holes so they don't interfere when you're scooping.

The Stallion 1K has a great face shape as well. It has a narrow pinch on the bottom half of the head and gradually opens up towards the scoop.

Though it only has an average amount of stringing holes, they're placed well and you shouldn't have any trouble getting your ideal pocket in it. It also has Innerlock technology that makes stringing on the inside rail easier and more secure.

The biggest downside of the Stallion 1K is that it's not great for low or even mid-to-low pockets due to the offset being towards the middle to top of the head. Of course, this is really only a problem if you prefer low pockets.

Overall, the new Stallion 1K is an awesome option for middies, especially those that prefer higher pockets and like to shoot from outside/on the run.

3) Nike L3

Details

  • Weight: 4.63 oz
  • Ideal Pocket: Mid/low to mid/high
  • Stiffness: Above-average
  • # String Holes: Average
  • Year Released: 2021

The Nike L3 is the most recently released head on this list and is one of the best. It's already one of the top choices among college midfielders throughout the nation.

The newest head in the popular Lakota line has a smooth face shape that isn't too pinched, making it a great option for offensive middies, D middies, and LSMs alike. 

We've found the L3 to be extremely easy to string up despite it only having an average number of sidewall holes. The wider face shape and smooth flare definitely contribute to this.

In addition, the offset is towards the middle of the head, making it great for anywhere from a mid/low to mid/high pocket.

The only real drawback of this head is that it's not the best for those who prefer very tight face shapes. If you fall into this boat, you may want to check out the Maverik Kinetik 2.0 (see below) or the ECD Mirage 2.0.

Overall, you won't be disappointed if you go with the Nike L3. It's a versatile head and we expect to see if on college lacrosse fields throughout the nation for the 2023 season.

Defense

1) STX Hammer 1K

Details

  • Ideal Pocket: Mid/high to high
  • Stiffness: High
  • # String Holes: Average
  • Year Released: 2023

STX's newest defensive lacrosse head—the Hammer 1K—comes in as the best option on this list due to its unmatched stiffness and durability. 

It improved upon our previously top-ranked defense head in the Hammer 900 with its increased stiffness and shape retention thanks to improved EnduraForm plastic.

It also doesn't seem like it will have any of the same issues with breaking frequently that the older Hammer Omega had.

The STX Hammer 1K has a nice face shape for both defensemen and LSMs. It is pretty pinched towards the throat but gradually widens towards the scoop, giving it good ball control but still being wide for intercepting passes and laying checks.

As far as the offset goes, it is pretty high up on the head, making it great for a mid/high to high pocket, which is typically the preference for defensemen.

The Hammer 1K also has STX amazing Speed Scoop that is specifically designed to perform better on long poles. This makes ground balls a breeze and the InnerLock technology makes stringing easier and keeps your strings tighter.

The biggest downside is that there are only 15 sidewall holes on each side. While I haven't ran into any issues with stringing it, if you prefer more sidewall holes, you may want to look elsewhere.

Overall, the new STX Hammer 1K is a great option for any D player—including close defenders and LSMs. It should hold up well for even the hardest of checkers and perform well in transition.

2) StringKing Mark 2D

Details

  • Weight: 5.2 oz
  • Ideal Pocket: Mid/high to high
  • Stiffness: Above average
  • # String Holes: Above average
  • Year Released: 2017

The StringKing Mark 2D checks in as a very close second on our list of the best lacrosse heads for defense—and for very good reason.

It is the lightest head to make this list at an impressive 5.2 oz. Even better, unlike many other light heads, it has above-average stiffness and durability.

We've found that the scoop on the Mark 2D is great for ground balls. Its sharp angle, along with the dramatic forward cant shape of the head, allow you to easily scoop balls even when your butt end is still high in the air.

The head shape and numerous stringing holes make it easy to string a high pocket with good hold and smooth release. Like most other StringKing heads, the Mark 2D strings up beautifully and the range of pocket options is limitless.

The Mark 2D also has a locking bolt mechanism in the throat that helps secure your head more than just a traditional screw helping to eliminate head rattle and movement during checks.

Overall, this is a great head for both defensemen and LSMs due to its light weight, stiffness, face shape, and scoop design.

3) Maverik Havok

Details

  • Weight: 5.5 oz
  • Ideal Pocket: Mid to mid/high
  • Stiffness: Average
  • # String Holes: Average
  • Year Released: 2018

The Maverik Havok is one of the most popular LSM heads on the market today. 

It has a tighter pinch towards the throat than many competitors but opens up towards the scoop. 

We found a Havok strung up with a nice mid to mid/high pocket with a tight channel gives great hold and a smooth release.

The Havok it decently stiff but not as much as some more traditional defensive heads. It is, however, lighter than a lot of those options since it isn't as bulky.

The Havok also has the Ground Control scoop that has a sharp angle making it easy to snag ground balls without having to get your butt end close to the ground. The way the top half of the head cants forward also helps with scooping balls.

If you are an LSM, D middie, or defenseman who likes to push transition, the Havok is a great option due to its face shape, light weight, and scoop. 

More traditional defensive players who prefer a wider, stiffer head may want to look at other alternatives as the STX X20 or Maverik Tank 2.0.

Goalie

1) STX Eclipse 2

Details

  • Weight: 11.6 oz
  • Throat Design: Ergonomic throat optimized for better grip
  • # Stringing Holes: Above-average
  • Year Released: 2017

The original STX Eclipse was one of the most popular goalie heads ever made. There’s a reason it was used by goalies of all levels for over 15 years.

The Eclipse 2 is an upgrade on this near-perfect design, and is now the most popular goalie head on the market. 

It is used by elite high school and college players as well as countless youth players across the nation.

The Eclipse 2 comes with a new throat that gives players a more comfortable and secure grip. STX also doubled the amount of stringing holes for increased stringing customization.

With its offset design, this head makes quick work of ground balls and throws crisp outlet passes.

The Eclipse 2 is also relatively lightweight but holds its stiffness well over time—even during those hot summer tournaments.

The Eclipse 2 is perfect for goalies of all levels and is our #1 recommended option.

Pros

2) StringKing Mark 2G

Details

  • Weight: 10.9 oz
  • Throat Design: Standard (no special grip)
  • # Stringing Holes: Many
  • Year Released: 2020

StringKing entered the goalie head arena with the Mark 2G in early 2020—immediately vaulting it to the top of our goalie head rankings.

The Mark 2G is extremely light at under 11 oz but still features plenty of surface area and has good stiffness.

Like many other StringKing heads, the Mark 2G comes equipped with 42 sidewall holes creating limitless stringing options.

The head features a shortened low-profile throat. For players who prefer not to hold the throat of the head, this may be a great fit. 

Otherwise, goalies may find themselves using tape to make up for the lack of grip since it's shorter and doesn't have as much of an ergonomic design like the Eclipse 2 does.

This head is perfect for goalies who want to branch out from the mainstream goalie head brands and have complete pocket customization. The Mark 2G also comes with a 6-month warranty should it break.

3) Warrior Nemesis 3

Details

  • Weight: 11.3 oz
  • Throat Design: Standard (no special grip)
  • # Stringing Holes: Above-average
  • Year Released: 2019

The Nemesis 2 was notorious for breaking on the sidewall. 

During my freshman year of college, I went through 3 of them which was extremely frustrating—especially considering how long it took me to get my preferred pocket for outlet passes.

Warrior seems to have addressed this issue by adding more struts along the sidewall of the Nemesis 3. 

All of my teammates and friends who use the Nemesis 3 haven't had any issues with them breaking.

Warrior also shaved off 1.1 ounces on the Nemesis 3 compared to its predecessor, making it one of the lightest goalie heads on the market.

Warrior has done a great job turning what used to be a bulky and brittle head into a lightweight and reliable option for goalies of all levels.

Faceoff

1) StringKing Mark 2F

Details

  • Weight: 4.37 oz
  • Flexibility (10 = most flexible): 7
  • Flex Type: Oblique
  • Warp Resistance: Great
  • Offensive Performance: Good
  • Throat Type: Short, no throat plug

As mentioned above, the StringKing Mark 2F was in my final two choices for which faceoff head to buy. If this head was just slightly more offset, I probably would have gone with it.

The Mark 2F is also what I've found most elite college and high school players to be using as of late.

Much like the Weapon X, it has great warp resistance, many stringing holes, and a scoop that makes groundballs a breeze.

One of my favorite features of this head is how thin the plastic is. This makes it really easy to flex your head under your opponent's sidewall to grab the ball and drag it out.

And even though the plastic is really thin, this head is super durable and warp resistant. Much like the Weapon X, it snaps back into place very well after every faceoff—making it another great option for playing offense after facing off.

When you first get this head, it may take some getting used to and breaking in since it doesn’t crush down on the ball quite as well as the Weapon X and Nike CEO. For some players, it may seem to resist flexing in the way you are used to.

Overall, this is a great choice for both FOGOs and FOSOs, as shown by how many top college faceoff guys use it. I was very close to choosing this head and am sure I would be happy with it if it’s the route I decided to go.

2) ECD Weapon X

Details

  • Weight: 5.6 oz
  • Flexibility (10 = most flexible): 6
  • Flex Type: Mostly oblique flex
  • Warp Resistance: Great
  • Offensive Performance: Great
  • Throat Type: Short throat with plug

After all of my research, I ended up buying the ECD Weapon X primarily due to its performance on offense and warp resistance. 

My final two were the Weapon X and the StringKing Mark 2F, but the Weapon X's full offset was the deciding factor. I carry the ball a lot for my teams and regularly initiate the offense, so having a head with a full offset gives me better hold and a release that I’m used to. 

It’s worth noting that the offset may take some getting used to when facing off if you are used to faceoff heads that have little-to-no offset.

Aside from the offensive capabilities, this is an amazing head for faceoffs. It does take some time to break in, but once you do, it will flex in almost any way you want. 

A lot of this, as well as the warp resistance, can be attributed to the asymmetrical sidewalls which help the bottom sidewall flex up into the ball while the top collapses down.

The FlexForm plastic helps the head snap back into shape after every faceoff. Compared some other options such as the CEO and Burn FO, this head doesn’t warp easily and is much more durable over time. 

You won’t have to worry about trying to pass and shoot with a crooked head which is really important.

3) Nike CEO

Details

  • Weight: 4.9 oz
  • Flexibility: 9
  • Flex Type: Face flex
  • Warp Resistance: Poor
  • Offensive Performance: Poor
  • Throat Type: Standard throat; not shortened

The Nike CEO wasn’t designed to be a faceoff head. Originally Nike designed it to be used by attackmen who prefer a very tight pinch. It just turned out that the sidewall design made this an amazing head for facing off, and since it came out, it has been the most popular faceoff head since the OG Blade.  

The design of the sidewall struts allows this head to collapse down on itself, creating great face flex allowing faceoff men to securely pinch the ball in the throat even if the rest of the head bends backwards.

If you are a pure FOGO who doesn’t have to worry about playing much offense, this is one of the best options. The way the head flexes and grabs the ball is unmatched—and is the reason why it has become one of the most popular faceoff heads of all time.

On the downside, this head warps… A LOT and isn’t very durable. The top of the head will quickly start bending forward (meaning the scoop will be more forward than the throat) and to the side. This makes it really hard to use on offense and you may have to worry about it being illegal.

Overall, if you are just looking for a head to faceoff with, the CEO is undoubtedly one of the best choices. Just be prepared to constantly bend the head back into shape and buy replacements once the head inevitably breaks or becomes warped beyond use.

How to Choose a Lacrosse Head

Having a hard time deciding what to look for in a lacrosse head? It's definitely a difficult decision to make, but if you know what to look for, it's not impossible. 

Finding a head designed for your position is a great starting point. You can also narrow down your selection based on your budget. While many of the heads listed on this page are on the expensive side, we also have a cheap lacrosse heads guide that may be helpful if you are looking for a more affordable option.

From there, you really just have to figure out your preferences to find a head that matches them. 

What kind of preferences am I talking about? 

Let's explore a little further. Here are 7 things to consider that can help you find the best lacrosse head for you.

1) Face Shape

The face shape of your head is what it looks like when looking at it straight on. If you've ever heard someone talk about how pinched (or wide) a head is, they're talking about the face shape.

Deciding what kind of face shape you want is the easiest way to eliminate many options from your consideration. 

Generally, wider heads are easier to catch with but have less control and accuracy. More pinched heads, on the other hand, hold onto the ball better and are more accurate, but are harder to catch with.

Here is what face shape each position typically looks for in a head:

  • Attack: Pinched heads, especially towards the throat. Help with control when dodging and accuracy with passing and shooting.
  • Midfield: Anywhere from a very narrow face shape to a wide face shape. Middies use the widest range of heads since they are involved in all parts of the game. If you are an advanced player or play primarily offense, a more pinched head is a good choice. If you play a lot of D middie or are just starting out, consider a wider head.
  • Defense: Wide heads that help with intercepting passes and have more surface area for laying checks. Some advanced defenders prefer narrow heads to help with control in transition.
  • Long Stick Middie (LSM): Slightly more pinched heads than the average defenseman uses to help with control in transition and accuracy when passing and shooting.
  • Faceoff: A pinched head that requires less movement in order to pinch or clamp the ball. The head can't be so pinched that it regularly gets caught in the back of the throat, though.

2) Weight

Some players consider weight the most important factor when choosing heads while others don't care as much. It really depends on how sensitive you are to changes in the weight distribution of your stick.

For example, I don't mind a heavier head too much. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not running out onto the field with a metal head or anything like that—I just find that a slightly heavier head doesn't noticeably affect my game.

Typically, offensive players prefer lighter heads that help them move and shoot faster since it requires less effort to move the head.

Defensive players, on the other hand, often opt for a heavier head that is stiffer and more durable than lighter options.

3) Stiffness & Durability

As hinted at above, stiffness and durability often have a direct relationship with the weight of the head. 

Typically, as weight goes up, so does stiffness and durability. Heavier heads have more material, which in turn makes them stiffer and more durable.

I say “typically” because there are some companies using advanced plastics and other materials to increase stiffness while keeping weight consistent or even reducing it.

Throughout this guide and my position-specific head guides, you'll see me reference stiffness-to-weight ratios. When all else is equal, finding the head with the highest stiffness-to-weight ratio—or the head with the highest stiffness and lightest weight—is the best option.

Defensemen especially should worry about finding a stiff and durable head since they are laying checks constantly throughout the game. Having a super flexible head lowers the impact of checks, making it harder to take the ball away.

As far as other positions go, most players prefer stiffer heads that won't bend when scooping the ball and getting checked. The only exception is faceoff men who often need a flexible head for pinch and pops and other moves that require them to flex their heads.

4) Ideal Pocket Placement

Finding a head that is designed to have your preferred pocket placement is also very important, though it is often overlooked by players.

How do you tell where the ideal pocket placement is for a head?

The easiest way is by locating the maximum offset. This is where the bottom sidewall rail is the lowest on the head when looking at it from the side.

If that max offset is towards the throat of the head, for example, a low pocket would be ideal. Offsets closer to the scoop, alternatively, lend themselves to higher pockets.

Here is what each position typically prefers in terms of pocket placement:

  • Attackmen: Typically prefer lower pockets that are good for one-handed cradling and smooth releases.
  • Midfielders: Preferred pocket placement varies a lot based on the type of player. On the run shooters and outside shooters may prefer a higher pocket that gives them more whip and hold. Middies that dodge from X or carry the ball a lot may like lower pockets to help with one-handed cradling.
  • Defensemen: Often go for a higher pocket that gives them a bit more whip and more control immediately after scooping a ground ball.

5) Scoop

If you've ever used a head with a poor scoop, you know how frustrating it can be.

Poor scoops make it hard to pick up ground balls, often slowing you down or causing you to miss the ball altogether. 

The best scoops allow you to pick up balls from a variety of angles and almost always feel smooth when doing so. 

Scoops that are more angled/curved when looking down your stick allow you to pick up balls at a higher angle in relation to the ground. If your scoop is more angled/curved, you won't have to get the butt end of your shaft as low to the ground as you would if your scoop was completely flat.

This is especially important for defensemen and LSMs since it's harder to get the shaft's butt end close to the ground since it's so long.

6) Stringing Holes

The more stringing holes a stick has, the more you can customize your pocket to fit your needs.

While most heads nowadays come with plenty of stringing holes, it's important to check to make sure you'll be able to string your ideal pocket based on the holes.

Besides the number of stringing holes, you'll also want to make sure they are big enough for your stringing style. For example, if you like to loop your top string around the first diamond of mesh a few times, you'll need a large top sidewall hole.

7) Strung vs. Unstrung

As you can tell above, you usually have the option of buying a strung or unstrung head. 

In most cases, I recommend buying an unstrung head and either stringing it yourself or getting a friend to do it. This allows you to string your ideal pocket instead of being stuck with whatever the company selling the head decides to go with.

There are exceptions to this idea, though. Some companies—such as East Coast Dyes and StringKing—offer great prestrung pockets that you can customize based on your preferences. 

Before going with a strung head, check to see if the company allows you to choose your preferred pocket style and read some customer reviews to see if they were satisfied with the string job that came with the head.

High School & College Head Rules

NFHS (high school) rules for lacrosse head dimensions started to match NCAA (college) rules starting in 2018. Previously, high school heads could be narrower towards the throat but had to be wider towards the scoop, and vice-versa for college heads.

Now that both organizations have the same set of rules, any head that meets NCAA rules is legal for NFHS as well. Here are the rules for heads:

  • Minimum width of 6″ at the widest part of the head
  • Minimum width of 3.5″ on front and back of the head at 5″ up from throat of the head
  • Minimum width of 3″ at 3″ up from throat of the head
  • Minimum width of 3″ at 1.25″ up from throat of the head

The following diagram from Stringers Society makes the rules a little easier to visualize:

Lacrosse Head Rules Diagram

If you are buying a head that was released in the past 2 years, you shouldn't have to worry about it meeting these regulations. 

If you are buying a head from 2017 or before, you should check to see if it meets NCAA specs. If it does, it should also meet current NFHS rules. If not, then it is likely illegal for both high school and college since the new NFHS rules went into effect in 2018.

How We Choose the Best Lacrosse Heads

We take our ratings seriously and only recommend products that we would use ourselves.

To come up with our ratings for each product, we test the product ourselves whenever possible, review product specifications (weight, number of stringing holes, etc.), and read customer reviews/talk to lacrosse players we know that use the product.

When testing heads, we bring them to a field and test for passing, catching, shooting, scooping ground balls, and checking—all with a standard pocket to reduce the number of variables. When it's not possible to extensively test a product ourselves, we spend extra time talking to real customers who have used the product for a while themselves.

If you ever have any feedback for any of the products listed on this page or have a recommended addition, please contact us and let us know!

Choosing Mesh for Your Lacrosse Head

If you end up going with an unstrung head, you'll need to buy mesh and strings in order to get your head ready for action.
 
Below you can find some of my top choices for both full string kits as well as just mesh. You can also check out our Best Lacrosse Mesh Guide to learn more.
