Kinetic 2.0 Stringing Technology
One of the standout features of the Maverik Kinetic is the proprietary Kinetic 2.0 stringing technology. This innovative stringing system is designed to maximize ball control, passing accuracy, and shot speed.
The sidewall stringing holes have been strategically positioned to tighten the channel and pocket. This gives players increased hold on the ball when cradling, especially during quick dodges and cuts. The pocket shape also provides excellent ball control when passing and shooting on the run.
Additionally, the Kinetic 2.0 stringing uses a U-shaped bottom stringing configuration. This gives the pocket more defined edges for clean releases when passing. It also allows for a deeper pocket without losing ball control.
By optimizing the stringing pattern and sidewall hole placement, Maverik has engineered the Kinetic head to have less vibration and flutter. This leads to more accurate passes and shots, along with reduced clanging of the head.
The Kinetic 2.0 stringing works synergistically with the stiff yet flexible sidewalls to generate maximum ball control. For midfielders, attackers, and seasoned players, this advanced stringing technology is a game-changer.
Key Features of the Kinetic Lacrosse Head
The Maverik Kinetic lacrosse head is jam-packed with innovative features designed to improve performance.
To start, the head has an optimized scoop that makes it easier to get clean ground balls. The scoop has a stiff rail to give it structure, while the lower sidewalls have focused flex zones to allow the head to flex when picking up ground balls.
Another key feature is the stiff yet flexible sidewalls. They provide extra stability for accurate passing and shooting, while still allowing some give to absorb ball impact. The sidewalls also work with the stringing system to deepen the pocket.
Additionally, Maverik developed a new technology called IsoPlane that ensures consistent pocket depth across the entire head. This gives players more control over ball placement in the pocket when passing and shooting.
The Kinetic head has an asymmetrical design with offset sidewall holes. This strategic stringing layout tightens the channel for increased hold and control. It also allows for customized pocket placement.
Finally, the head comes in a mid-high pocket profile that is ideal for midfielders. But you can string it in any pocket style you want thanks to the versatile stringing holes.
Improved Ball Control with the Kinetic
One of the biggest benefits players will notice with the Maverik Kinetic head is the improved ball control.
Thanks to the stiff yet flexible sidewalls and strategic stringing layout, the pocket shape is more defined on this head. The channel is tightened so you can grip the ball better, especially on quick cuts and rolls back.
The asymmetrical design also allows you to fine tune the pocket placement. You can string a mid to mid-high pocket to really hug the ball on cradles, shots, and scooping.
With many heads, the ball rattles around too much when you’re on the move. But the Kinetic’s dialed-in pocket shape locks in the ball so you can focus on your handles and fakes. No more loose balls squirting out on hard stops and starts.
The U-shaped bottom string configuration also grips the ball on every pass and shot. With more defined pocket edges, you’ll have more control guiding your passes to teammates.
For midfielders and attackers who like having command over the ball, the Kinetic delivers big time. The advanced pocket design means you dictate the ball, not the other way around.
Increased Passing Accuracy
The Maverik Kinetic lacrosse head improves passing accuracy thanks to its stiff yet flexible sidewalls and minimized flutter.
Many lacrosse heads lose energy and vibrate when you pass, leading to less control. But the Kinetic maintains its structure to provide precise ball guidance.
The sidewalls give you a rigid platform to deliver crisp passes. Even on long outlet passes, the head stays firm and delivers pinpoint accuracy.
Additionally, the U-shaped bottom string helps focus the release point. With more defined edges, the ball comes cleanly off the pocket’s sweet spot every time.
The pocket shape also allows for better ball control on feeds. You can place the ball exactly where you want for quick sticks or dumps over the shoulder.
With less flutter comes more passing consistency. Your teammates will appreciate the buttery feeds the Kinetic delivers time and again.
Whether it’s on a man-up play or clearing the ball in transition, the Kinetic gives you precision passing to feed your cutters perfectly.
Faster Shots with the Kinetic Head
The Maverik Kinetic head is designed to produce lighting fast shots on cage thanks to its stiff rails and quick release.
When you plant your feet and wind up, the head keeps its shape instead of deforming. This allows you to maintain energy as you shoot.
The U-shaped shooter’s string also focuses the release point. So when you snap your wrists, the ball fires out the optimized high-pocket instead of rattling around.
Additionally, the flexible sidewalls give just enough whip to add velocity. You’ll notice shots coming off the Kinetic have a little more heat and speed.
With most heads, shots lose power due to excessive flutter and vibration. But the Kinetic maintains its integrity through the entire shooting motion, leading to faster time and room shots.
Your defender won’t know what hit him after you plant off your left foot and rope one near side high with the Maverik. This head was built for speed.
Reduced Clanging and Vibration
One annoyance with some lacrosse heads is the excessive clanging and vibration when passing and shooting. But the Maverik Kinetic is engineered to minimize these issues.
The stiff yet flexible sidewalls absorb impact nicely to reduce vibrations. You won’t get that tingy, clanky feel when the ball makes contact.
Additionally, the strategic stringing layout tightens up the channel to decrease flutter. This improves ball control while also quieting unwanted noise.
The scoop and sidewalls also work together to quickly funnel the ball into the pocket. With less bouncing around up top, you avoid that rattling sound on passes.
Nearly every aspect of this head aims to dampen vibration and limit flutter. Your teammates and coaches will appreciate the reduced distractions and headaches.
While the Kinetic still gives you a crisp release, it eliminates a lot of the annoying sounds that come with pass and shoot motion. It’s the best of both worlds.
More Hold and Control on Cradling
The Maverik Kinetic lacrosse head gives players increased hold and control when cradling thanks to its defined pocket and channeled sidewalls.
When you’re on the move, the last thing you want is the ball rattling around in an ill-defined pocket. But the Kinetic’s pocket shape and sidewall stringing pattern really locks in the ball.
The U-shaped bottom string and mid-high pocket placement hug the ball tightly. When you cradle, the ball stays centered in the pocket for optimal control.
Additionally, the pinched sidewalls prevent the ball from bouncing around the edges of the head on cuts and rolls. It stays centered in the sweet spot.
With many heads, the ball is loose on cradles and dodges. But the Kinetic keeps it dialed in. You’ll notice the difference cradling North-South through traffic or East-West on the perimeter.
The defined pocket edges also allow you to add some English on your off-hand cradles. Overall, it’s incredibly secure when you’re on the move.
Pinpoint Shooting Accuracy
The Maverik Kinetic lacrosse head improves shooting accuracy thanks to its stiff sidewalls and channeled pocket design.
When you wind up for a shot, the last thing you want is the head deforming and the pocket fluttering. But the Kinetic maintains its shape and minimize vibration.
This gives you a consistent and rigid shooting platform for pinpoint accuracy. The ball comes cleanly out of the structured high pocket on every rip.
Additionally, the U-shaped shooter’s string focuses the release point. So you get a consistent and predictable shot path every time.
While some heads have too much wiggle room, the Kinetic locks in. Your shooting consistency will go through the roof with this head.
Whether it’s bouncers from up top, rockets from the wings, or low-to-highs on the crease, this head delivers exact shooting precision.
Custom Stringing Options
One of the best parts of the Maverik Kinetic head is the versatility it provides for custom stringing setups.
The strategic sidewall stringing holes allow you to dictate pocket placement. You can customize a low, mid, or high pocket based on your preferences.
The offset holes also let you tweak the channel width. Tighten it up for more hold or open it up for a quicker release.
You can achieve any pocket shape you want with the Kinetic. Go split top, traditional, or mesh if you please. The stringing options are wide open.
Additionally, you can string in different shooting strings like a U, straight across, or two straights. It’s built to handle any shooter setup.
For players who like to tailor their stringing style, the Kinetic delivers. Unleash your inner stringer and get creative with this versatile head.
Stiff Yet Flexible Sidewalls
The Maverik Kinetic head has the perfect blend of stiff and flexible sidewall technology.
The sidewalls use a composite material to provide maximum structure without being rigid. This gives you a solid platform for passing and shooting accuracy.
Yet the sidewalls still have focused flex zones to allow some whip on shots. You get the benefits of both worlds.
The sidewalls also absorb impacts nicely to reduce vibration and flutter. All while maintaining their shape through passing and shooting motions.
Additionally, the stiff rails funnel the ball cleanly into the pocket. This gets you throwing quicker off the draw or ground balls.
For today’s technological heads, the sidewalls make a big difference. Maverik found the right balance with the Kinetic to optimize performance.
Durable Construction for Longevity
The Maverik Kinetic is built to last thanks to its durable construction and materials.
The head utilizes a premium grade of plastic that can withstand abuse from slashes and errant checks. The plastic keeps its integrity season after season.
Additionally, the sidewalls and scoop use top-notch alloys to maintain their structure. You won’t see the sidewalls warping or the scoop bending like cheaper heads.
The runner design also improves durability. By removing interchangeable runners, Maverik eliminated a common break point.
The construction is optimized to handle frequent play at any level. While the lighter materials provide the performance benefits, the head still holds up over time.
For players who go through heads each season, the Maverik Kinetic is a smart investment. This head will keep performing at a high level for multiple seasons of play.
Ideal for Attack and Midfield Players
The Maverik Kinetic lacrosse head is designed with midfielders and attackers in mind thanks to its defined pocket and quick release.
The mid-high pocket depth is perfect for carrying the ball coast to coast or working it around the perimeter. The pocket hugs the ball securely during intense dodges.
Attackmen will also appreciate the accurate passing and shooting enabled by the stiff sidewalls. You can precisely place your shots and feeds.
Additionally, the focused scoop and quick-release channel make it easy to corral ground balls while facing pressure. Then transition to offense fast.
While poles and defenders may opt for a wider head, the Kinetic optimized for how midfielders and attackmen handle and move the ball.
The quick, accurate passing? Check. The hold and control while dodging? Check. This head caters right to offensive midfielders and attackmen.
Versatile for All Levels of Play
While optimized for elite players, the Maverik Kinetic lacrosse head is versatile enough for any level of play.
Youth and high school players will appreciate the pinpoint passing accuracy. The defined pocket makes clean feeds easier at all stages.
Additionally, new players will benefit from the ball control enabled by the channeled sidewalls. The head gives you command of cradles and shots as you develop.
Thanks to the stiff rails, the Kinetic maintains its shape and performance even under slash-heavy recreational league play. It holds up to occasional rough play.
And if you take faceoffs, the focused scoop quickly directs ground balls into your stick. Then make fast break outlets with precision.
While elite players will maximize the technology, the Kinetic still benefits developing players. It will help refine your fundamentals during those early years.
