# 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.

### Key Features Include



* Level 3 Bottom Rail: Mid-Pocket recommended

### 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



* 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.

### 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.

# Maverik Havok 2.0 Head

### 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.

### 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. 


### Progression:

The Havok lacrosse head series features two models: the Havok and the Havok 2.0. Here's a breakdown of their progression: 


[Maverik Havok](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/maverik/havok/l7600)

### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* First time using the Havok head for a new LSM player. It performs great and an easy adjustment from an attack.
* My son has this head and absolutely loves it. It throws, scoops, and checks well.
* This head is stealthy. Flexible yet I still have the accuracy for shooting.

CONS



* Will warp quickly if you put it through significant use.
* My head broke after several practices. This is the third and last time for this head.
* Great head but it warps easily.


### 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.
