# 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. 
* **[Evo 4](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/evo-4/l7007):** The Evo 4 introduced the SYM-RAILTM technology, which aimed to strategically reduce weight but still maintain overall stiffness.

### 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.

EVO QX2-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.

### 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.

### Product Description 

The Warrior Burn Warp Pro lacrosse head is designed ideally for the midfielder or attackman looking for maximum shot power and accuracy. Re-engineered with a new pocket design and narrower face shape, this lacrosse head brings added control and an enhanced feel. The Warrior Burn Warp Pro is a mid-pocket design with two whip options to provide the perfect pocket feel and a smooth release. SYM-RAIL design eliminates excess weight and provides maximum stiffness while TruOffset lowers the sidewall for improved ball control and feel. The Warrior Burn Warp Pro is made with premium materials that perform well in all weather conditions. Lastly, this head incorporates Loc-Throat technology to provide a secure and rattle-free attachment.

### Expert Notes

The Warrior Burn Warp Pro is designed for elite offensive gurus looking for a consistent and accurate release from their head. This head comes as a mid-pocket with a whip 1, and whip 3 option on the channel. The whip 1 pocket is loved by players who don’t want as much hold, but who look for precision passing and shooting with a traditional overhand release, which is ideal for a midfielder. The whip 3 pocket is perfect for attackmen who run through checks and take a lot of inside shots, which comes with more hold, a deeper pocket, and more whip. Regardless of which whip the player chooses, the head has unmatched accuracy and consistency, as the mesh is completely resistant to weather, tears, and breaks. Players also love the power that comes with the head; the ball is able to quickly roll off the top of the channel and increase shot speed at the same time. The Warrior Burn Warp Pro is the perfect head for players who do not want to deal with all of the time and maintenance that comes with a traditional stick. The head is universally legal and is highly recommended by top professional and collegiate players.
