ECD Lacrosse DNA 2.0 Head
ECD Lacrosse DNA 2.0 Lacrosse Head
The ECD Lacrosse DNA 2.0 Head builds upon the legacy of the DNA series, renowned for its versatility and well-rounded performance. ECD utilizes their proprietary FlexForm plastic in the 2.0, which is engineered to maintain shape and resist warping even under heavy use. This material also boasts strategic sculpting, achieving a lighter weight while preserving stiffness. This balance makes the DNA 2.0 suitable for attackers, midfielders, and even defenders. It comes strung with ECD's Elite pocket, designed for consistent and accurate release with minimal break-in time.
Key features include:
| • | FlexForm Plastic maintains shape and improves durability. |
| • | Refined and optimized shape reduces the DNA 2.0’s overall weight while pushing the limits of durability and strength. |
| • | ECD proudly designs, tests, and manufactures the DNA 2.0 in the USA. |
Top Competitors
The STX Stallion 1K reigns supreme in raw power generation thanks to its aggressive mid-high pocket and wider face shape. While this excels in forceful shots, it might compromise some control in finesse plays. The Nike L3 strikes a balanced approach with its mid-pocket suitable for both powerful shots and controlled passing. This versatility makes it adaptable to various offensive situations. Compared to these, the ECD DNA 2.0 prioritizes a blend of power and control through its mid-pocket design and focus on quick releases. Its lightweight construction and ergonomic design enhance its performance for fast-paced offensive plays.

| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| The DNA 2 is the most versatile head ever produced. It’s awesome for anyone but a face-off guy and a goalie. |
| If you’re an all-around middie it will work really well. It’s by far the most versatile head on the market. |
| The best head for precise shooting and consistent accuracy with a narrow face shape and mid pocket. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| I prioritize a super lightweight feel, and this head is slightly heavier than I expected. |
| It's still on the heavier side of elite heads... and a little stiff at first. |
| I had to spend some time breaking this head in before I could use it on the field. |
Building off of the first generation DNA, ECD had designed this head to be for all positions from the offensive midfielder to the hard-hitting defenseman. The material of this head helps it hold its shape and improve its durability. It’s lighter compared to the first generation. The DNA 2.0 might not be the flashiest, but it feels like a reliable workhorse that you can count on to get the job done.
