Tactik 3

# Maverik Tactik 3 Head
The Maverik Tactik 3 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.

### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS

* 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.

### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [StringKing Mark 2A](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2a/l758) and the [Warrior Burn XP-O](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/burn-xp-o/l174311)


Catering to offensive players seeking a balance of power and finesse, the Maverik Kinetik 2.0 competes with the StringKing Mark 2A and Warrior Burn XP-O, each offering specific advantages. The Kinetik 2.0 boasts a mid-depth pocket and a balanced face shape, providing versatility for strong shots, controlled passing, and good ground ball control. The StringKing Mark 2A, designed specifically for left-handed players, features a similar pocket depth but with a stiffer construction, prioritizing power and hold for aggressive dodges and forceful shots. Conversely, the Warrior Burn XP-O takes a more balanced approach with a slightly shallower pocket and a focus on well-rounded offensive capabilities. While packing enough punch for powerful plays, the Burn XP-O's design allows for a better feel and adaptability in tight offensive situations and passing plays.


### Progression:

The Kinetik lacrosse head series features two models: the Kenetik and the Kinetik 2.0. Here's a breakdown of their progression:

[Original Kinetik](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/kinetik/l722)



* For the all-around midfielder

### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* OG Kinetik was great, but the tension lock needed fixing. Kinetik 2.0 is a perfect upgrade for an offensive head. 
* Ideal for attack and midfield positions, allowing you to string a pocket in almost any position, best with mid to mid-high pocket.
* Favorite head to string. Great for people who like to shoot or passers who like a tight face shape.

CONS



* The stiffness of the head took some time to get used to, and it affected my cradle and shooting a bit
* The pocket depth was a little shallower than I was expecting, making ground balls a bit trickier
* I feel a slight increase in weight compared to the original Kinetik. 


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

This head is amazing. It's designed for the elite offensive shooter. The first generation was a top-selling head for 4 years, and the 2.0 brings a lot of updates. It’s very narrow so the head has a ton of ball control, and it has a refined scoop to make picking up balls a lot easier. I like how it strings, it has a ton of sidewall holes so you can make your pocket how you like it. It does just about everything, it shoots well, and the passing is good. It's my favorite offensive head I've ever tried.

### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [STX Hammer 1K](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/hammer-1k/l339501) and the [ECD Rebel D](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/east-coast-dyes/rebel/defense-heads/l202584)

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.

### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

The Havok is a head for the aggressive defender and LSM. It’s for players who take the ball away and look to push transition. With a ground control scoop for easy ground balls and Xrail technology to evenly distribute head stress, this head is lightweight and holds its stiffness. Good head to have in all weather conditions; it tends to hold shape well. Perfect with a mid-high pocket.
