Maverik Havok 2 Lacrosse Head
The Maverik Havok 2 builds on its predecessor’s reputation, making it ideal for elite defensemen and LSMs. It features a tighter face shape for better control and a redesigned 4-strut design for added stiffness, allowing for powerful checks. The scoop is optimized for ground ball pickups, facilitating easier possession and transitions upfield.
Key features include:
| • | Perfectly engineered scoop angle explicitly designed to pick up groundballs. |
| • | XRAIL Technology is engineered to distribute stress to the opposite rail creating a lightweight and stiff design. |
| • | DURATOUGH Materials increase stiffness and provide consistency in all weather conditions. |
| • | CONTROL CORE is designed with redistributed mass in the scoop and throat to decrease weight, increase stiffness, and enhance ball control. |
Top Competitors
The Evo QX2-D prioritizes defensive midfielders with its stiff construction, close fit, and narrow face shape, ideal for disrupting opposing offenses. The Tank 2.0, on the other hand, leans towards offensive midfielders with its wider face shape and deeper pocket, facilitating powerful shots and passes. Compared to these, the Tactic 2.0 strikes a balance, offering a mid-pocket suitable for both controlled passing and decent shooting power. Its scoop design sits in the middle ground, making it adequate for ground ball pickups without excelling in either offense or defense.
Progression of the Maverik Havok 2.0
The Havok lacrosse head series features two models: the Havok and the Havok 2. Here's a breakdown of their progression:
- Designed for aggressive defensemen, long-stick midfielders, and face-off wings.
- Good for a mid-high pocket.
- Incorporates Ground Control tech so players can scoop ground balls from any angle.
- 4-strut design: increased stiffness for stronger checks.
- New strut orientation: improved balance and feel.
- Tighter pocket: enhanced control and feel for passion and shooting.
| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| I used the Havok for four years, then upgraded to the Havok 2. It's lighter, sturdier, and has a better face shape. The scoop is good and has 20 sidewall holes instead of 17. |
| Switched from the OG Havok to Havok 2. Improved stringing options and efficiency at picking up ground balls. Durable enough for checks. |
| My sons love the Havok 2 head. I like the blue color so I can spot him from the stands. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| Not as many string holes as other options, which might limit pocket customization for some players. |
| The head was slightly heavier than expected, impacting my agility and maneuverability during checks. |
| Mine cracked after only a few months. Although I am pretty hard on my heads. |
Building off of the first Havok, this head is for the playmaking LSM and defensemen. Maverik made two changes with this head, the first being a tighter face for more ball control for defensive players who like to carry the ball. The second change is increased stiffness to the head to avoid warping when throwing a variety of checks.
