# 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

* Ground Control Scoop

* 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 Tactic](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/tactik-2-0/l12090) (Original)**



* The original Maverik Tactic was designed for midfielders
* Mid-pocket design and a balanced stiffness for both passing and shooting. 


**[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)**



* Designed for the mid-range shooter and precision passer. 
* Updated ControlCore Technology
* Features 20 stringing holes, so the custom pocket options are endless.
* Updated pocket design for optimal hold and release


### 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.


### 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
* Tighter face shape 
* Tension Lock technology for a more defined channel 
* X-Rail technology for increased stiffness and durability


**[Maverik Optik 3.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/maverik/optik-3-0/l165698)**



* Emphasizes performance and a modern feel while maintaining the core strengths of the previous models.
* Wider face shape for improved scooping and channeling
* Lighter weight construction for increased agility
* Updated pocket design for optimal hold and release


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* The best head on the market for advanced attack men. Accurate feeding and control.
* Perfect head for dodging inside and making precision passes.
* 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
* Ground Control Technology for an engineered scoop angle, designed to pick up groundballs with ease
* X-Rail Technology distributes the stress to the opposite rail creating a lightweight and stiff design
* Made in the USA


### 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.

The Maverik Kinetik 2.0 stands as a refined evolution of a fan-favorite head, solidifying Maverik's focus on versatility and performance. This mid-pocket option caters to a wide range of offensive players, boasting a tighter face shape, stiffer construction, evolved scoop, and lightweight design.

### 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
* Mid pocket depth for balanced control and power
* Balanced face shape
* Standard stringing setup

[Kinetik 2.0](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/maverik/kinetik-2-0/l164266)

* Tighter face shape
* Ground control technology for enhanced scoop design
* Control Core for redistributing material for increased stiffness
* Tension Lock allows strings to create a defined shooting channel
* X-Rail technology maintains a lightweight design 


### 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.

Mako

### Expert Notes
Endurance is the name of the game when it comes to Easton’s Mako bat series. Despite being discontinued in 2017, Easton Mako bats continue to sell very well in the modern market. This two-piece composite bat offers an additional jolt of pop at the plate, and its anti-vibration technology makes getting jammed a little less painful—physically, at least. The 2016 Easton Mako, in particular, has ascended into baseball bat folklore because of its neon green colorway and insane ability to demolish baseballs (although some hitters prefer the orange 2015 model, too). Considering the fantastic prices you can find Easton Mako’s listed at, it remains a top metal bat value pick.

Tactik 2.0

# Maverik Tactik 2.0 Lacrosse Heads
Maverik's Tactik 2.0 Lacrosse Head reigns as a dominant force for offensive midfielders. Thanks to updated Control Core technology, it boasts a lightweight and stiff construction, granting exceptional ball control for cradling, passing, and shooting. The redesigned scoop, featuring "Ground Control" technology, enhances groundball pickup, making it a versatile weapon for transitions. 

This focus on well-roundedness aligns perfectly with Maverik's heritage. Since its inception, the Maverik has chAllen Melick Melick Melick Melick Melickged traditional lacrosse equipment with products designed for the modern, multifaceted player. The Tactik 2.0 exemplifies this approach, offering a head that excels in both offensive firepower and facilitating midfield dominance. 


**Perfect head for:** offensive midfielders


### Key Features Include



* Control Core technology provides ball control when possessing, feeding, and shooting.
* Scoop and throat are designed to decrease weight while increasing stiffness and control. 
* 20 stringing holes. 
* Used by PLL Chrome's Ned Crotty and MLL Chesapeake Bayhawks Nick Mariano.  


### 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)

The Maverik Tactik 2.0 carves its niche in the offensive midfield space, facing off against the StringKing Mark 2A and Warrior Burn XP-O, each catering to specific offensive styles. The Tactik prioritizes power and hold, boasting a deep pocket and a wide face shape ideal for powerful shots, tight dodges, and maintaining possession in the attacking zone. The StringKing Mark 2A offers a similar approach, featuring a deep pocket and stiff construction designed explicitly for lefty players seeking maximum power and hold for offensive dominance. However, the Warrior Burn XP-O takes a slightly different route with a shallower pocket and a more balanced design. While still packing enough power for offensive plays, the Burn XP-O's flexibility allows for better feel and finesse in tight offensive situations and passing plays. 


### 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](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/tactik/l7139) (Original)**



* The original Maverik Tactic was designed for midfielders
* Mid-pocket design and a balanced stiffness for both passing and shooting. 


**[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)**



* Designed for the mid-range shooter and precision passer. 
* Updated ControlCore Technology
* Features 20 stringing holes, so the custom pocket options are endless.
* Updated pocket design for optimal hold and release


### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* This head has great balance and weight, as well as versatile pocket placement options. It feels lighter when throwing and shooting than it did when I strung it.
* 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.
* Great head for the 2-way midfielder. I’m able to control ground balls, and it has perfect feeds and sniping corners.

CONS



* The Tactik 2.0 felt a little boxy and stiff compared to other heads I've used
* The stock pocket is shallower than expected. This messes with my ground ball control and requires additional customization.
* Some minor cracking on the sidewalls after extended use


### 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. Offensive midfielders really like the 2.0 because you can shoot well with it, you can pass well with it, and it has a lot of control. 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.
