A helmet is not good unless it si specifically designedto give you the maximum tilt.

[@braapmoto9268]

Yup

[@mattn2172]

Alex Ma I

[@MrDbtx]

Alex Ma @ stx you won't

[@tw3638]

thats why the Cascade S is better. lol

[@bennettware4620]

haha facts

[@andrewblack2046]

Greg, I feel the need to tell you that it would be great to bring back "This Old Lax Head". It was my favorite series and i don't think I was the only one. Bring it back!

[@ECD]

That was hard series to keep up with .... sometimes we got a bunch of heads sent to us and other times we didn't get any in

[@giantkiller888]

I've bean hanging out for slimline bars for sometime, was even thinking about doing it myself. Glad they did that. Also wanna note that it's easier on your vision to look through black bars than light coloured bars.

[@peytondias2617]

I saw and took a picture with you Greg you are the main reason why I started playing lacrosse and I just wanted to say thanks for all the information and support

[@ECD]

Your welcome! Hope you are keeping a stick in your hands this summer.

[@peytondias2617]

I am as soon as my cast comes off, thanks!

[@peytondias2617]

Thanks I will! As soon as my cast comes off

[@moneymike5508]

Finally helmet reviews, thx so much guys

[@danieljohnson177]

That Matt black paint job on the R looks soooooo nice

[@ECD]

Matte black is whats up

[@patrickbole6571]

ECD Lacrosse team

[@evan2999]

I have the matte black on the s with a gold face mask it’s elite

[@guttadisbreif1209]

So pumped I got to meet Greg this weekend at the National Championship game on Monday you though my dog was cool when you saw his picture in my phones

[@ECD]

Thanks for stopping by glad to be back to a normal schedule this week!

[@samuelchidester5406]

Great video guys!!!

[@christopherflores7070]

It fits kinda tight but it works. I think they should thin out the pads a bit and widen the part earpiece and chin area so it's a one size fits all.💯

[@tuckt5527]

Great overview

[@sethb2692]

Well there goes the iced out S out the window cause of that black chin😑

[@ECD]

A little touch of color never hurts

[@erikfornek161]

Still people are still going to wear the R more than the S because it is like $30 cheaper and still a amazing helmet

[@addisondietz6416]

Erik Fornek ya, I swear by my r I couldn't imagine giving that thing up

[@reallysad7600]

Erik Fornek my head is way too big for the r so hopefully the s fits me. That why I don't wear one.

[@ryanburgess3487]

Erik Fornek I won't stop wearing my R. But that's because it's 2 years old, so practically brand new. I probably won't need a new helmet throughout the rest of high school.

[@jdot.prezidential]

Erik Fornek I agree. I could never give up my R

[@erikfornek161]

Mr.BlueSky Gaming lol same

[@footballtime5474]

ECD when are you going to make a helmet

[@epicfluffymuffintops]

Football Time idk I feel like it would be hard to make one that looks better than the cascade R or S. Any other company that makes helmets seems ugly to me. Just my opinion...

[@ECD]

Not something we are looking into. We want to focus our time in on making sure the player has the best stick and mesh

[@JasonEvans77]

When making helmets, probably dive into a sea of government regulations.

[@jameson1235]

If you look at any brand that makes any really good helmets that is mostly the one thing they make

[@jennajohnson7525]

Another great video as always!

[@scottromjue8590]

I think it looks lit. When it is super hot the ventilation would be nice, and Maryland and Towson looked pretty good in them.

[@Proctorpac]

Grabbing an S from Universal for sure

[@j_williams5076]

The vents on the s make it look like a bike helmet

[@joshcollins8998]

Ecd Greg the helmet was soooo Crooked when it was on your face. Niceeee

[@jdot.prezidential]

I like the S but I will need a few more reviews before I get really into one.

[@turtle_6067]

I have the exact same R as you guys. The colors are the exact same but the chinstrap in mine is black

[@Hallers_11]

"More stiffness probably isn't gonna hurt.."

[@AE-ll2zh]

All i could think about when seeing the vents on the S is how weirdly my hair would stick out if i wore it.

[@paneledberry314]

for real tho

[@ECD]

Haha the flow problems are real

[@paneledberry314]

lol you right

[@Evan-st4cg]

But where is the tilt

[@ECD]

Wasn't feeling the tilt vibe today

[@jared_403]

You guys should do a review on the stx surgeon 700

[@ECD]

It should be coming soon!

[@gabrielbelmonte8521]

I vote for a helmet durability test against lacrosse shots

[@ECD]

I'm not gonna volunteer for that test lol

[@eoinquinn9347]

Were you taking about universal lacrosse in summit nj???

[@willkirkiles300]

Is it any bigger? I have a small head and wondering which one would be a better fit.

[@ECD]

Hard to answer that question

[@nk0spewock101]

hey greg i didnt e mail you for that noz that i strung so i did a thompson replica and with the 2.0 it throws amazing i was coming back to grab some more 2.0 but the tent closed

[@ECD]

That sounds sweet did you post any photos of it?

[@culley7805]

The helmet was totally lopsided on his head😂😂lmai

[@cameronlastname5751]

1:56 Cue X-Files theme song

[@willbonawitz6181]

Hi Greg

[@williammiller3327]

Does the S ever pinch your temples? I just got mine and after wearing it for an hour or two for practice the sides of my head started hurting. It might just need to be broken in. Wondering if you guys ever had that problem?

[@ECD]

I didn't have any problems with mine, you might want to just make sure it's fitted to your head correctly.

[@WTLclips]

I'm wondering as a goalie is the S bar weaker then the R or is it just as strong

[@ECD]

I'm sure they are stronger!

[@aaronregan6291]

I don't like the fin being so big I like how it looks on the r more

[@chase1897]

ecd i just got my new R this year for my birthday in march it's still cool (orange vents, chin, and visor with carbon fiber shell) but i'm pissed

[@ECD]

That sounds sick... In no means do I think the R's are going to be gone anytime soon

[@TR-xz4ju]

Because I live in the UK you need as much heat as you can get not more air flow 😂

[@PS-vc2yz]

Any suggestions on the "one size fits all helmets" being too small on a player?

[@ECD]

I would recommend going to a store and trying all the different helmet options out there to truly see what fits best.

[@PS-vc2yz]

He is already at college and he's tried on all the Cascades and the Warrior. Only thing that was ok but not perfect was the pro7 which he now can't use. If the "one size fits all" sizing guide goes up to 24" head circumference what are you to do if its 25"?

[@jackw97]

Do you think there will be multiple types (ex: R, cpv-r, cpx-r)

[@ECD]

I'm not sure

[@johnboomer4557]

Who won the give away

[@bradygoldstein3743]

Which helmet would be better for a person with a smaller head?

[@ECD]

The S would be best. Betting fit all around.

[@threemusketeers9780]

It was sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk !

[@Coleo432]

What is the price

[@lucciproduced]

Tilt?

[@frankwally2476]

Michael Stabley watch the tilt 101 video from ecd. It's an older video but will explain everything

[@fs.rivas4]

can you still use a visor in the cascade S??

[@ECD]

You can I already saw a guy rocking one during a shoot out game!

[@fs.rivas4]

ECD Lacrosse could you do a video to show how to install it in a cascade S

[@PS3Mjlopez911]

When does this release?

[@ECD]

I believe they are set to go on june 19th

[@justinzhao4033]

is it illegal to take off the padding off of the inside of the helmet?

[@ECD]

I'm not sure if that is legal or not, You would want to contact the helmet manufacturer

[@owencooper6400]

Did u guys have a boot at the NCAA champs

[@guttadisbreif1209]

Owen Cooper they did but it was really far from everything else

[@owencooper6400]

Bill Cosby oh, I couldn't find iit

[@austinwagner3231]

still rockin that cpx-r, if it aint broke dont fix it haha

[@ECD]

Thats a great moto to roll by!

[@tylersuper_]

Same bro i want an s tho it looks sick

[@tide6447]

is it possible to get a custom s still?

[@ECD]

Through us no. But custom S helmets are still around.

[@tide6447]

@@ECD do you know a link where i can customise one?

[@andrewwoods4203]

I love it in almost every way but I can't stand the black only chin piece. It looks good with some team's colors but on like Albany or ND it just ruins it. Wish it could be customizable

[@ECD]

I'm sure over time you will be able to customize them but you can always order a decal to cover it up

[@keganfoley6343]

tilt is key

[@ECD]

So important!

[@jakegreen9482]

Warp pro review?

[@ECD]

Just got ours in yesterday once we get ready to test it out we will do our best to get it going

[@nicholasp936]

Repin r shirts koops lax

[@benjohnson2183]

I'm a goalie and sorry I think the flat bar is stupid. I think it would be a little bit distracting cause like just think you can see the rest of your bars and one different one would definitely draw my attention idk about any one else though. But I would like to try one on to see the way it fits

[@ECD]

Ben fair opinion I think you might change your mind when you try it on

[@justinzhao4033]

Are the R and S both one size?

[@ECD]

Yes but they have a youth size too

[@justinzhao4033]

ECD Lacrosse Ok thanks!

[@liamtg912]

is the s wider than the r?

[@ECD]

I don't think it is wider but the shell may portray that look

[@liamtg912]

ECD Lacrosse thanks man

[@mattpross2456]

It looks like a Toyota Prius to me

[@gangshootamars8441]

i have a clh 2😢its like a swuare

[@helicopterhayes1405]

My high schools cascade and maverick rep told me that the chin will only be black because it's the strongest chemical mix

[@ECD]

Good to know !

[@jg-penguin9]

Can you do a review on warrior burn pro gloves

[@louisazara9181]

John Guzman I have those gloves they are great, great material that holds up for long and also they have great ventilation for summer lax it will keep your hands from sweating. I reccomend

[@addisondietz6416]

John Guzman I'd let u know but my burns are goalie gloves

[@tommyscuderi399]

And yet I can afford neither

[@Rsq_evl]

Same

[@gangshootamars8441]

roses are red violets are blue i really want a cascade s and probaly you do to

[@ECD]

A+ poem!

[@etskeen]

Jokes on you I already have it

[@matthiasogrinc5951]

New XRS just came out. It’s literally just the S

[@ECD]

We will review them as soon as we can get our hands on them.

[@matthiasogrinc5951]

@@ECD much appreciated. Can you also talk about the smaller space for decals?

[@kameronachtenberg3197]

Cascade s boy

[@bennettware4620]

was i the only one who noticed the helmet looking a little crooked at 4:08

[@ECD]

The pressure got to me lol

[@nickbushman6463]

Ok so he says it’s the only helmet he’s used in the last couple years. Umm 😐 what about the Team ECD Warrior Evo helmet.

[@ECD]

That was 4-5 years ago at this point

[@nickbushman6463]

ECD Lacrosse god lol. It feels like just yesterday that vid first came out. Been a fan since the 2 color fade string up.

[@ethanshaw9936]

[@mrcrabzlikestoasterstroodl5962]

Imagine not having a CS

[@preston233]

Does anyone have a weird white flakey film come off their cascade S?

[@ECD]

I have not noticed that before

[@cyclops6772]

I personally think the S is really ugly, I believe the R is the best looking Cascade helmet, the S seems way to boxy

[@ECD]

Pictures don't do a justice for it

[@gregwehbe3394]

Burn vs rival

[@ECD]

That would be a great video!

[@samnuebel]

Why get the s? One word: TILT

[@ECD]

facts

[@samnuebel]

ECD Lacrosse yep. I’m currently saving up for 1 😆🤘🏼

[@mattscag161]

the S is 100000 times more uncomfortable than the R i

[@ncdozer3103]

NO TILT

[@christopherseverson6824]

so uhhhh.... mark 2A review???

[@paneledberry314]

remember how they stopped doing shaft reviews after the Carbon came out???

[@christopherseverson6824]

paneled berry sad.....

[@paneledberry314]

yeah. . .these days I trust RedStar and Mainely Mesh. They both have good reviews up, good enough that I bought one yesterday

[@christopherseverson6824]

paneled berry same. I'd just be interested to hear his opinions on it

[@georgebarzizza2116]

Would you like to send me that r since you have the s now 🙏🙏

[@ECD]

Thats my helmet I'm rocking right now

[@liamswanson340]

People shitting on the S cause they can’t afford it😂😂😂

not worth all that money for some better ventilation

[@jbanz2462]

The blacks gotta go

[@jbanz2462]

My helmet is all black too, I just want it to look better for all teams

It will look good on most helmets but others not so much
