Havok 2.0

# Maverik Havok 2.0 Head

The Maverik Havok 2.0 Lacrosse Head continues the legacy of its predecessor as a top choice for elite defensemen and LSMs (Long Stick Midfielders). It features a tighter face shape for enhanced control and increased stiffness through a redesigned 4-strut design, aiming to deliver powerful checks and disrupt offensive plays. The scoop is specifically engineered to excel at ground ball pickups, making it easier to gain possession and transition the ball upfield.

Maverik has a history of prioritizing innovation and performance in their lacrosse equipment, and the Havok 2.0 embodies this focus. It represents a refinement of a successful design, incorporating player feedback and advancements in materials to solidify Maverik's position as a leader in defensive lacrosse equipment. 


 **Perfect head for:** elite defensemen and LSM


### 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 Competitor Comparisons: the [Warrior Evo QX2-D](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/warrior/evo-qx2-d/l350399) and the [Maverik Tank 2.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/tank-2-0/l164354)

The Maverik Tactic 2.0 carves its niche with a well-rounded design for diverse midfielders. It faces competition from the Warrior Evo QX2-D and fellow Maverik offering, the Tank 2.0. 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:

The Havok lacrosse head series features two models: the Havok and the Havok 2. Here's a breakdown of their progression: 


[Maverik Havok](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/havok/l7600) 



* 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. 

[Maverik Havok 2.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/havok-2-0/l272008) 



* 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


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* I used the Havok for four years, then upgraded to the Havok 2.0. It's lighter, sturdier, and has a better face shape. The scoop is good and has 20 sidewall holes instead of 17. I would recommend it to anyone.
* Switched from the OG Havok to Havok 2.0. Improved stringing options and efficiency at picking up ground balls. Durable enough for checks.
* My sons love the Havok 2.0 head. I like the blue color so I can spot him from the stands!

CONS



* The Havok 2.0 has a decent amount of stringing holes, but not as many as some 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. 


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

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.

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.


### Progression:

The Maverik Optik lacrosse head series features three models: Optik, Optik 2.0, and Optik 3.0. Here's a breakdown of their progression:


**[Maverik Optik](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/optik/l751) (Original)**



* Level 2 bottom rail designed for a low-mid pocket
* Weighing in at 4.5oz, the Optik’s 2-Strut design is built for speed


**[Maverik Optik 2.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/optik-2-0/l8918)**



* Focused on offensive players, improving control, accuracy, and power

* Good attack head. Lightweight. Lots of stringing options.

CONS



* The pocket was a little shallower than I was expecting.
* Feels like a slight weight increase compared to the previous Optik model.
* Takes a while to break this head in. Stiff. 


### 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.

Tank 2.0

# Maverik Tank 2.0 Head

The Maverik Tank 2.0 stands as a monument to defensive prowess within Maverik's lacrosse history. This ultra-stiff head (the stiffest Maverik has ever made) caters to the enforcer on the field, boasting unmatched rigidity with the 6-strut Xrail design and Duratough materials, a wide face shape, and a high pocket design. 

The Tank 2.0 integrates into Maverik's defensive legacy. Following a lineage of reliable defensive heads, it takes stiffness and ground ball control seriously. This uncompromising head caters to defenders who prioritize stopping power and ball possession.


 **Perfect head for:** elite defensemen


### Key Features Include



* Level 5 bottom rail made for a high pocket

### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [ECD Rebel Defense](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/east-coast-dyes/rebel/defense-heads/l202584) and the [STX Hammer 1K](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/stx/hammer-1k/l339501)

In the defensive realm, the Maverik Tank 2.0 squares off against the ECD Rebel Defense and STX Hammer 1K, each offering a unique blend of strength and control. The Tank 2.0 boasts a mid-pocket depth and a balanced face shape, excelling at both powerful checks and controlled ground ball pick-up. The ECD Rebel Defense features a slightly shallower pocket and a pinched face shape, ideal for precise checks and maintaining tight possession control in close defensive situations. Conversely, the STX Hammer 1K prioritizes loose ball dominance with its wider face and shallower pocket, making it a weapon for scooping ground balls and winning battles in open spaces. 


### Progression:

The Maverik Tank lacrosse head series features two models: the Tank and the Tank 2.0. Here's a breakdown of their progression:

Original [Maverik Tank](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/tank/l726):



* Level 5 Bottom Rail 
* 4-Strut Design for maximum stiffness and rail support.
* Two screw holes for added head security
* Wide face design for intercepting passes
* Multiple stringing holes for custom pocket options

[Maverik Tank 2.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/maverik/tank-2-0/l164354):



* Updated with Ground Control scoop so that defensemen will own the GB battle
* Newly introduced X-Rail Technology
* 6-Struts to redefine the standards of stiffness in poke checks and slaps. 


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* Perfect defensive head. Wide scoop and stiff as a rock. Accurate passes and getting great shots for a defensive head.
* It's good for defense but a bit wide for LSM; still usable for it though. Doesn't warp easily.
* It’s a very stiff head, perfect for scooping up ground balls.

CONS



* The head needs a significant break-in period to feel comfortable.
* The face shape doesn't create an ideal channel for a tight hold on the ball, impacting my ground ball control and takeaways.
* It can be difficult to string as the head is so wide.


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

This is my favorite defensive head by far. It has a wider face than the first generation to make knocking passes down and transition that much easier. The head is incredibly stiff and holds its shape a lot longer and better than other defensive heads. I used this head through all 5 years of college, and the 2.0 is on both sticks I use right now for my men’s league. It's really durable, and you can throw up a lot of hard checks. It will for sure cause some pain when you use it. 

Durability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
