# Maverik Tactik 3 Head
The Maverik Tactik 3 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
* Optimal Release Point
* Duratough Material
* Ground Control Scoop
* Control Core
* 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.

Mark 2F

# StringKing Mark 2F Lacrosse Heads

The StringKing Mark 2F Lacrosse Head is a weapon for face-off specialists, meticulously crafted for domination at the X. Its selling points are a hybrid plastic construction, an angled scoop, and a shortened throat, which grants leverage for quicker reactions. Moreover, the high flare and straighter sidewall enhances ball control, which is crucial for winning the battle and securing possession.

The Mark 2F marks a pivotal moment in StringKing's history. Founded by two former college lacrosse players in Medfield, Mass., they initially focused on high-performance mesh, becoming synonymous with innovative stringing solutions. However, the release of the Mark 2F marked an ambitious foray into the competitive head market, explicitly targeting the face-off position. Its immediate success, embraced by elite face-off athletes, solidified StringKing's reputation as a significant player across the entire lacrosse equipment landscape.


### **Perfect head for:** face-offs 


### Key Features Include



* Hybrid plastic for the perfect balance of flex and stiffness 
* Shortened Throat for more leverage
* Higher flare and straighter sidewall for more control 
* Angled scoop for attacking a loose ball from any angle 
* Locking bolt installation
* Self-tapping screw installation


### Top Competitor Comparisons: the [ECD Weapon X](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/east-coast-dyes/weapon-x/l10504) and the [Nike CEO 2](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/nike/ceo-2-2/l11445) 


 Designed specifically for face-offs, the StringKing Mark 2F prioritizes control and ground ball dominance over the more versatile options like the Weapon X and Nike CEO 2. While the Weapon X and CEO 2 cater to various offensive midfield positions, the Mark 2F's stiffer construction and angled scoop excel at securing ground balls and winning face-offs. The Mark 2F's shorter throat also allows for increased leverage and better control during face-off battles. However, this specialization comes at the cost of versatility, as the Mark 2F's stiff pocket and design may not be ideal for other playing styles that require a wider range of motion and pocket flexibility.


### Progression:

The StringKing Mark 2F lacrosse head is part of the Mark 2 series, which also includes:

[Mark 2A](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2a/l758): Built for attack

[Mark 2T](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2t/l8715): Built for transition
 
[Mark 2D](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2d/l759): Built for defense

[Mark 2F](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2f/l7515): Built for faceoffs

[Mark 2F Stiff](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-2f-stiff/l406788): Built stiffer

[Mark 2G](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/sticks/heads/string-king/mark-2g-2/l61759): Built for goalies

[Mark 1](https://sidelineswap.com/shop/lacrosse/heads/string-king/mark-1/l761): Simple. Strong.



### What people are saying (edited for brevity and clarity)

PROS



* Love this head. Got back into coaching and its bend (and return to shape) is way better than the heads I had back when I was playing in the early 2010s. Makes it easy when I’m working with guys on plungers and reverse clamps.
* Great faceoff head. Good flex and maintains its shape well. Scoop hoovers up ground balls.
* This head has an awesome flex point that lets me control my exits.

CONS



* The first time I played with it, the head snapped the first faceoff. The second head warped quickly and cracked again in 2 spots.
* Much more suitable for offensive players, not a good head for defensive use. 


### Expert Review (by [Allen Melick](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/EmpireSports)) 

This is the face-off specialist of the Mark 2 family. This head is designed for players wanting the best control and durability. The Mark 2F has a shorter throat to make clamping faster and create a quicker reaction time. StringKing’s new material blends stiffness and flex. The Mark 2F also comes in a stiff version (15% stiffer). The shape retention is significantly better.

Optik 3

# Maverik Optik 3 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.

### 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.
