Lacrosse heads are designed differently depending on the player's position—offense, defense, or universal (all-around) use. The differences affect ball control, passing, shooting, checking, and ground balls.
Offensive Lacrosse Heads
Offensive lacrosse heads are designed for attackmen and midfielders who handle the ball more often. They are designed for shot accuracy and better ball control.
-
Key Features:
-
Narrower Face Shape: A tighter throat (lower part of the head) improves ball control, making it easier to cradle and shoot accurately.
-
Lightweight Construction: Designed to be fast and maneuverable, helping with quick releases and handling.
-
Mid-to-High Pocket Placement: Often designed to enhance shooting power and quick passes.
-
Our offensive lacrosse heads are a favorite of attackmen and midfielders due to their shot accuracy and durability.
Defensive Lacrosse Heads
Like the name implies, defensive lacrosse heads are designed for lacrosse players who play defense, and also for long-stick midfielders (LSMs). These players need a sturdy head that can stand up to aggressive play.
-
Key Features:
-
Wider Face Shape: Helps with intercepting passes and knocking down shots.
-
Stiffer & Stronger Material: Built to withstand heavy checks and ground ball battles.
-
Durable Sidewall Design: Reinforced to handle long poles and aggressive play.
-
Heavier Build: Adds strength but may reduce quick handling.
-
Our defensive lacrosse heads stand up to the demands of players who go all out to defend attacks.
Universal Lacrosse Heads
Midfielders who play both offense and defense can benefit from a universal head that blends together the best aspects of offense and defense heads.
-
Key Features:
-
Balanced Face Shape: Not too wide or too narrow, offering a mix of control and versatility.
-
Moderate Stiffness: Durable but not overly rigid, allowing flexibility for different styles of play.
-
Customizable Pocket Placement: Can be strung for offense, defense, or hybrid play.
-
Our universal lacrosse heads give you the right mix of strength and finesse.
