Maverik Havok Lacrosse Heads
The Maverik Havok lacrosse head is designed to wreak havoc on the field, especially for LSMs and defensemen.

Perfect head for: Close Defensemen/LSM's
Key Features Include

- Tight face shape and a lightweight 3-strut design offering a best-in-class strength-to-weight ratio.

The Maverik Havok carves its niche in the defensive realm, competing fiercely with the STX Hammer 1K and ECD Rebel D. All three prioritize strength, control, and ground ball dominance, but cater to slightly different defensive styles. The Havok boasts a mid-high pocket and a more traditional face shape, offering a good balance between checking ability and ground ball channeling. The STX Hammer 1K features a wider face and a shallower pocket, excelling at scooping and loose ball situations. The ECD Rebel D, on the other hand, leans towards a tighter, deeper pocket design, ideal for precise checks and controlling possession in close defensive situations.
