Tactik 3.0

# Maverik Tactik 3.0 Head
The Maverik Tactik 3.0 Lacrosse Head builds upon the legacy of its predecessor as a mid-range attacker's dream. This updated iteration boasts ControlCore Technology, designed to enhance ball control for improved cradling, passing, and shooting. The 20 stringing holes offer extensive customization options to create a mid-pocket ideal for both power and finesse. Additionally, the stiff yet lightweight construction ensures durability without sacrificing maneuverability.

Maverik has established itself as a brand focused on player innovation and pushing the boundaries of equipment design. The Tactik 3.0 exemplifies this approach, offering refined features that cater to the evolving needs of offensive players. 


 **Perfect head for:** offensive midfielder


### Key Features Include



* Level 3 Bottom Rail: Mid-Pocket recommended
* Optimal Release Point
* Duratough Material
* Ground Control Scoop
* Control Core
* Made in the USA 


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [STX Stallion 1K](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/stallion-1k/l316969) and the [Nike L3](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/nike/l3-2/l168650)

While the Maverik Tactic 3.0 reigns supreme for versatile midfielders with its stiff construction, well-balanced pocket, and diverse stringing options, competitors offer unique strengths. The STX Stallion 1K caters to offensive specialists with its aggressive pocket and focus on power shots. Its wider face shape and deeper pocket might not offer the same level of control as the Tactic 3.0, but it excels in generating raw power. The Nike L3 takes a balanced approach, boasting a mid-pocket suitable for both powerful shots and controlled passing. Compared to the Tactic, the L3 might have a slightly less aggressive scoop design, potentially impacting ground ball collection in tight situations. 


### Progression:

The Maverik Tactic lacrosse head series features three models: Tactic, Tactic 2.0, and Tactic 3.0. Here's a breakdown of their progression:

**[Maverik Tactik 2.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/tactik-2-0/l12090)**



* Updated ControlCore technology provides superior ball control when possessing, feeding, and shooting.
* New scoop and throat to decrease weight, increase stiffness, and enhance ball control.  


**[Maverik Tactik 3.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/tactik-3-0/l266866)**

### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* Strung traditional head with pita pocket. Customizable string holes. Easy to string and looks great. 
* Ground ball machine. The pocket is fantastic and has excellent ball control
* My son plays middie, and he loves the curve that helps with picking up the ball.

CONS



* Although designed for a mid pocket, I found the stock pocket to be shallower than expected.
* Super stiff head, you will need to spend some time breaking this head in before playing. 
* Not ready right out of the box. Once broken in, it performed great for me. 


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

Building off of the first two generations, this head is designed for the offensive midfielders. Maverik designed this head to have accurate shooting and precision passing, all while providing advanced ball control. Compared to the previous models, the 3.0 has a concave pattern at the top of the scoop. Just like the Optik 3.0, this head has 20 sidewall holes allowing for the player to customize their pocket.

Optik 3.0

# Maverik Optik 3.0 Head

The Maverik Optik 3.0 Lacrosse Head builds upon the legacy of its predecessors as a high-performance head designed for offensive players. It features an increased offset for a deeper pocket, a shortened throat for an improved top-hand feel, and a dual-strut sidewall for stiffness and reduced weight. The 20 sidewall holes offer stringing customization for personalized pocket preference.

This head fits within Maverik's ongoing commitment to innovation and player-centric design. The Optik line has a strong track record, favored by elite attackmen like Team USA's Jordan Wolf. The 3.0 iteration refines this legacy, focusing on the specific needs of dodging, feeding, and finishing offensive players. 


 **Perfect head for:** attackmen


### Key Features Include



* XRAIL Technology for distributing stress to the opposite rail creating a lightweight and stiff design.
* Tension Lock enables stringers to locate a defined shooting channel for increased accuracy.
* Duratough Material increases stiffness and provides consistency in all weather conditions.
* Optimal release points increase control with added hold and have extreme energy offset when shooting.


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [STX Surgeon 900](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/surgeon-900/l65241) and the [StringKing Mark 2A](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2a/l758)

Carving its niche in the offensive realm, the Maverik Optik 3.0 squares off against the STX Surgeon 900 and StringKing Mark 2A, each catering to distinct offensive styles. The Optik prioritizes pure power, boasting a deep pocket and a wide face shape ideal for powerful shots, tight holds for aggressive dodges, and maintaining possession in the attacking zone. The STX Surgeon 900 takes a more traditional approach with a medium-depth pocket and a balanced face shape, offering versatility for strong throws, accurate passing, and decent ground ball pick-up. However, the Surgeon also allows for greater customization to match individual preferences. The StringKing Mark 2A, designed specifically for left-handed players, features a similar deep pocket but with a stiffer construction, prioritizing power and hold for forceful shots and dominant offensive plays.

### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 


Building off the previous 2 generations, this head is the most advanced model of Maverik’s offensive heads. It has a shorter throat on the head, which reduces the distance between the player's top hand and the ball so you have more control. This head was designed with the inside finisher in mind, with an increased feel and face shape for passing and shooting. With 20 sidewall holes, this head allows you to string the head any way you like.

* I paired this head with a carbon pro 2.0, and it’s perfect. I had it dyed and strung. It’s lasted a year now.

### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

 
The Tactic 2.0 is an offensive head made for the overall midfielder whether it is for the outside shooter or the precision passer.

Compared to the first model, it has a new scoop to make it lighter and more durable. It has a ton of sidewall options for stringing different patterns. Ned Crotty from the PLL Chrome uses this head as a two-way midfielder.
