The Wider Face Shape Creates a Larger Sweet Spot
One of the standout features of the Maverik Tactik 2.0 lacrosse head is its wider face shape, which provides players with a larger sweet spot for improved ball control and shot accuracy. Unlike narrower heads with a pinched scoop, the Tactik 2.0 utilizes an aggressive flare out towards the scoop that expands the hitting area significantly. This gives you more surface to cradle and catch passes cleanly, especially on the run. The enhanced sweet spot also gives you more margin for error on your shots, as you have a broader section of plastic to wind up with and drive the ball into the goal. Even on off-center shots, you’ll notice the ball goes where you want it with the Tactik 2.0. On top of that, ground balls are much easier to corral thanks to the wider flare at the throat that almost acts like a built-in wing on grounders. Face shape and dimensions are often overlooked aspects of a lacrosse head, but the wider design here makes a big difference in being able to control the ball with confidence. You’ll quickly find that errant passes are easier to grab and shots find their mark more consistently with the Tactik 2.0’s expanded sweet spot. If you want optimal ball control for your midfield or attack game, the Tactik 2.0 delivers in a big way.
Stiff Sidewalls Enhance Ball Control and Retention
Another key feature of the Maverik Tactik 2.0 that improves performance is the stiff sidewall design. Maverik constructed the sidewalls out of a rigid plastic material that maintains its shape even during intense play. This gives the head superior ball control and retention compared to heads with more flexible sidewalls. As you cradle and make cuts, the stiffer sidewalls keep the ball locked in the pocket with reduced rattling and errant ball movement. Even on hard checks, you’ll notice the ball stays put in the Tactik 2.0 for quick recovery after contact. The rigid sidewalls also provide a consistent channel width so you can develop muscle memory for smooth handling. With some heads, the walls bend and flex, altering the width of the channel and feel of the head during play. But on the Tactik 2.0, the channel width stays uniform thanks to the stiff sidewalls, which leads to better consistency cradling, passing, and shooting. During shots, the rigid sidewalls and EnduraRail frame work together to maximize energy transfer and ball speed as you wind up. Less energy is lost to flex during the shooting motion, putting more velocity on your passes, serves, and shots on goal. The rigid construction does take some break-in time to soften up a bit. But once pocketed up, you’ll immediately feel the benefits of the stiff sidewalls in every aspect of handling and performance. For midfielders and attackers that value enhanced ball control, the Tactik 2.0’s stiff sidewalls are a game-changer.
Angled Scoop Facilitates Quick Ground Ball Pickups
Ground ball control is a vital skill at every level of lacrosse, and the Tactik 2.0 gives players an edge here with its angled scoop design. Unlike many heads featuring a flat or slight curved scoop, Maverik optimized the Tactik 2.0’s scoop with a steep downward angle. This angled scoop gets you lower to the ground on grounders for quicker pickups. The shape almost mimics the action of your stick hand reaching down to pick up a ground ball. By getting the head closer to the turf, you can utilize the width of the flare for quicker ground ball entry without having to dig the stick straight down. The angled scoop also gives you superior ball protection upon entry thanks to the fuller wrap around the ball. With a flat or round scoop, the ball often bounces right back out on errant pickups. But the Tactik 2.0 corrals grounders with ease and moves them smoothly up the channel. Between the angled scoop minimizing ground contact time and the wider flare giving you more surface area to control grounders, this head optimizes every aspect of securing ground balls. Any player who scraps in the trenches chasing loose balls and battling for possession will notice the benefit. The Tactik 2.0 gives midfielders more confidence scooping up grounders while maintaining momentum upfield. And faceoff specialists will have an edge clamping and directing ground balls where they want. If ground ball skills are crucial for your game, the Tactik 2.0 is one of the best heads available.
Centered Channel Provides Consistent Pocket Depth
Maverik designed the Tactik 2.0 with a centered channel running from the scoop to the throat to optimize pocket consistency and ball control. Many heads use an offset channel placement skewed towards one sidewall or another. While this can help certain players, it requires getting used to the uneven pocket placement. The Tactik 2.0 utilizes a channel dead center in the head to create symmetrical pocket formation. This provides a balanced feel as you string up the head and break in the pocket. No matter which sidewall you cradle on, the pocket depth feels identical. The centered channel also gives stringers flexibility in stringing up different pocket styles. You can opt for a mid or low pocket with even Kevlar placement on both walls. A centered channel is easier to string up initially and maintain over time. Unlike an offset head, you don’t have to continually adjust one sidewall to recenter the pocket. And should you take a hard slash or check to the head, the pocket will retain its shape and depth with a centered channel. During play, you’ll immediately notice the consistent feel and release on passes, shots, and clears with your perfectly balanced pocket. From stringing to handling, the Tactik 2.0’s centered channel positioning gives players confidence in their pocket at all times. For midfielders, attackers, faceoff specialists, and beyond, this tuned pocket placement is a game-changer.
Hourglass Throat Design Enables Quick Ball Release
The Maverik Tactik 2.0 utilizes an hourglass throat shape to give players the quick ball release needed in today’s fast-paced game. As lacrosse has evolved, quick sticks, crisp passing, and lighting fast shots are more important than ever. To achieve this, Maverik tapered the lower throat of the Tactik 2.0 into an hourglass profile. This contouring serves two key functions for enhanced ball release. First, the hourglass provides a smooth transition point between the pocket and throat that funnels the ball out with less resistance. Second, the shape tightens the channel width right as you go into your throwing motion. Together, these structural throat elements let the ball eject out at high speeds with minimal hesitation. When moving at full speed, you’ll notice cleaner releases and more velocity on all your passes and shots. The hourglass throat works in tandem with the EnduraRail sidewalls and wide face shape to send balls out like rockets. While some throat designs can impede the ball during release, the Tactik 2.0’s hourglass clears the way for lightning-quick shooting, feeding, and clearing. Midfielders will appreciate moving the ball around the field with crisp splits to cutters. Attackmen will see the benefits dodging and shooting on the run. And faceoff guys can direct ground balls out of the throat quickly during clamp transitions. If your game relies on speed, the hourglass throat on the Tactik 2.0 delivers the outstanding release you need.
Offset Shape Enhances Ball Vision on Dodges
Unlike symmetrical lacrosse heads, the Maverik Tactik 2.0 utilizes an offset design with the scoop angled forward from the throat. This shape gives players improved ball vision for dodging, feeding, and shooting in traffic. With a centered scoop, the ball can be obscured during play as your hands sit right above it in the pocket. But the Tactik 2.0’s offset head shape shifts the entire scoop forward so your hands sit slightly behind the ball. From this hand position, you get superior visibility on the ball during cradling, dodges, picks, and feeds. Defenders try to lift your hands or swat at the ball, but you can see everything clearly and react faster thanks to the enhanced sightline. The offset shape also lets you see passing and shooting lanes quicker, even through multiple defenders. You can spot cutters faster for leading feeds to space. And on rips, you get a clear gaze down the center channel for placing shots past keepers. The forward cantilevered scoop also aids ground ball pickup visibility in a crowd by letting you see the ball enter the head. For offensive players who utilize their vision to operate in traffic, the Tactik 2.0’s offset shape is a difference-maker. The shifted hand position gives midfielders, attackmen, and offensive-minded defenders better awareness to exploit the defense with their sticks skills and IQ.
Lightweight Design Increases Speed and Handling
Maverik engineered the Tactik 2.0 using advanced plastic injection molding to create an ultra lightweight yet durable lacrosse head. Weighing in at only 4.8 ounces strung, the Tactik 2.0 is one of the lightest heads available right out of the box. Maverik optimized the thickness, geometry, and sidewall design to remove every ounce of unnecessary plastic. The result is a head with superior strength that maximizes speed and handling. You’ll immediately notice how effortlessly the Tactik 2.0 moves as you cradle and cut on the field. The lightweight feel enhances your ability to change direction on a dime to elude defenders. Snapping passes and shots also feels easier thanks to reduced strain on your hands and wrists over four quarters. And the lighter design translates to faster shots with more velocity. While ultra-light heads often sacrifice durability, Maverik constructed the Tactik 2.0 to maintain its structural integrity even at such a featherweight. It retains its shape and stiffness after big slashes and checks. And the pocket maintains excellent shape retention despite the trimmer plastic design. From offensive midfielders dodging down the alley to faceoff middies scrambling off the line, the Tactik 2.0’s lightweight agility is a difference-maker in today’s fast-paced game. Feel the benefits of less weight and more speed by joining #TeamLightweight with the Tactik 2.0 this season.
Internal Strut Adds Stiffness for Consistency
The Maverik Tactik 2.0 incorporates an internal strut running from top to bottom to enhance overall stiffness for improved consistency. This strut acts as a spine that stiffens the entire frame and sidewalls for better ball control. As you string, dent, and break in the head, it maintains its shape and flex profile thanks to added structure from the strut. Unlike some heads that lose their stiffness quickly, the Tactik 2.0 retains its crisp feel thanks to the internal reinforcement. You’ll also notice the strut helps the head pop back to original shape after checks, slashes, and board collisions. It adds an element of rigidity to complement the thinner, lightweight design. On shots, the extra stability translates to consistent rebound and launch trajectory. Sidearm, overhand, and underhand shots all maintain their speed and precision thanks to reduced flex. Ground balls pop directly up the center channel into the pocket with minimal ricochet too. For stringers, the Tactik 2.0’s internal strut lends itself to quicker pocket development and less maintenance adjusting sidewall stiffness over time. From first string to fully broken in, the strut delivers unmatched consistency across the board. For today’s players who rely on tuning their sticks precisely to their game, the Tactik 2.0’s internal strut is a must-have structural enhancement.
Tactical Geometry Optimizes Pocket Placement
Maverik designed the Tactik 2.0 head shape and sidewall geometry to strategically optimize pocket placement for superior ball control and release. This tactical geometry centers the pocket in the ideal location within the head for quick, accurate passing and shooting. The angled offset scoop provides an unobstructed channel into the throat. Meanwhile, the hourglass throat shape transitions smoothly into the pocket for lightning-fast release on feeds and shots. Maverik also tuned the sidewall angle along the entire channel length to center the pocket for consistency. You’ll notice minimized rattling and excellent ball retention as you cut and change direction at full speed. Unlike some heads with curved sidewalls that skew pocket placement, the Tactik 2.0’s tactical geometry dials in precision pocket positioning. During stringing, this shape helps simplify mounting the shooting strings, nylons, and leathers in just the right spots. The centered channel placement also ensures the pocket breaks in evenly across both walls. You get a balanced feel cradling right from the first use without needing to tweak side bias. If you want a head with a pre-engineered pocket designed for quick handling and release, the Tactik 2.0’s geometry is optimized to take out the guesswork. Just lace it up and get straight to dominating with a perfectly placed pocket ready for action.
Multiple Colorways Match Your Style and Gear
Maverik offers the Tactik 2.0 in a variety of stylish colorways so you can match the head to your personal style and equipment setup. Lacrosse gear expresses your personality on the field, so Maverik provides ample color options beyond basic black or white heads. The Tactik 2.0 comes in unique shades like Hi-Lite Blue, Orange Flash, Red, Eclipse, and Nitro Green. This lets you coordinate the head color with gloves, arm pads, and cleats for a cohesive look. The vibrant options also make it easier to spot teammates on the field and find your stick in a pile at practice. Another key benefit of the Tactik 2.0’s multiple colors is the ability to quickly identify heads. Having a different color for practice, game day, and backup heads helps you differentiate and grab the right stick. It also enables coaches to organize and code heads by color for drills. And the fresh colorways look great styled with various leathers, nylons, and shooters in the pocket. Beyond aesthetics, choosing the right Tactik 2.0 colorway helps players express their personal flair on the field while optimizing team coordination and equipment organization. Browse the options to find your perfect color match this season.
Precision Molding Creates Optimal Flex Points
The Maverik Tactik 2.0 utilizes precision molding technology to engineer specialized flex points for enhanced ball control and improved durability. Maverik designed these flex points into areas of the head where strategic stiffness, bending, or Vibration dampening are needed. For example, the scoop area incorporates flex grooves to allow just the right amount of bend for clamping ground balls and absorbing checks. The throat area features rigid construction for stability yet contains hidden flex joints to help initiate quick release during passing and shooting. And the tapered lower sidewalls enable subtle flex to move the ball smoothly from the pocket into the throat funnel. Maverik also molds softer flex zones along the upper sidewalls that dampen ball rattling and errant rebounds at high speeds. These engineered flex points are only possible through Maverik’s cutting-edge injection molds. The tactically placed stiff, flex, and dampening zones optimize ball control, release, and durability compared to basic rigid head constructions. From ground ball clamps to ripping top-shelf snipes, you’ll immediately feel and appreciate the performance benefit from the Tactik 2.0’s dialed-in flex points. Take your game to the next level with this technologically advanced head designed for today’s fastest lacrosse.
Upgraded Plastic Increases Durability
Maverik constructed the Tactik 2.0 head using an upgraded injection-molded plastic for increased structural integrity and durability. The high-grade material maintains its stiffness and shape longer through extensive play and abuse. Maverik engineered the plastic formula to optimize the strength-to-weight ratio, resulting in a lightweight yet extremely sturdy head. The denser plastic also better withstands impacts from checks, slashes, errant passes, and ball collisions. While many competing ultra-light heads dent and bend easily, the Tactik 2.0 retains its structure thanks to the improved plastic. Faceoff specialists will appreciate how it preserves its shape after kneel-down clamps and battles in the trenches. Attackmen will notice how it pops back to form after checks on dodges to the cage. And midfielders can count on it holding up after scooping ground balls and making clears through traffic. The high-end plastic also allows Maverik to mold more intricate geometric features into the head without sacrificing durability. Patterns like the tactical flex points, EnduraRail sidewalls, and hourglass throat are only possible through Maverik’s material advancements. Players who expect their gear to perform through every practice, warm-up, and game will see the Tactik 2.0’s upgraded plastic pay dividends all season long.
