Why INK
A year to get the finish right
We spent over a year with our manufacturing partner on a multi-stage finishing process, sealed under a proprietary clear coat. It protects the finish and keeps it sharp — and because every head is done individually, no two come out the same.
The RC1 underneath
Same mold players run at attack and midfield. Aggressive offset for hold and ball control. Universal throat that fits standard shafts. 20 numbered sidewall holes so you string by number, not by eye.
Break it, we replace it
Every INK is covered by the 5LAX Lifetime-ish Warranty. Crack it, warp it, snap it under normal play — we send a new one and you only cover shipping. Read the warranty.

The safety net
Break it. We replace it.
The Lifetime-ish Warranty covers breakage, cracking and warping under normal play — for the life of the head, not 90 days. File a claim, send a couple photos, and a replacement ships. The head is free; you only cover shipping. No fine-print gymnastics.
Straight answers
Before you ask
Does it come strung?
No — INK ships unstrung, on purpose. Head only: no mesh, no strings, no shooters. You string it the way you want it, or your stringer does. The 20 sidewall holes are numbered, so you can follow any stringing guide by number instead of guessing by eye.
Will it fit my shaft?
Yes — the throat is universal fit and works with standard lacrosse shafts, including ours.
Will mine look exactly like the photos?
No. These are actual product photos, but every head is finished individually. Choose your colorway and expect some variation in the pattern and finish of the head you receive.
What does the warranty actually cover?
Breakage, cracking and warping under normal play, for the life of the head. It doesn't cover abuse (run over, torched), cosmetic wear, mods (drilled, shaved, baked) or loss. Replacement head is free; you cover the shipping. Full terms on the warranty page.
How fast does it ship, and what does shipping cost?
Standard US shipping is free on orders of $50 or more, after discounts. Orders process in 3–5 business days and ship from North Carolina; delivery time is additional. See the shipping policy for details.
What if I don't like it?
30-day returns. Details in the refund policy.
