Know before you buy
While it can be used by midfielders, this head is specifically engineered for defensive-minded players, LSMs, and defensemen. Its tighter face shape and strut design prioritize ground ball control and defensive checks over the wider catching surface typically preferred by offensive players.
The four-strut design is engineered to maximize the strength-to-weight ratio. By optimizing the strut orientation, Maverik has created a head that remains rigid enough to withstand heavy checks and high-level play without adding unnecessary bulk.
No, the Maverik HAVOK 2 is sold as an unstrung head. This allows you to customize your pocket depth, mesh type, and stringing pattern to match your specific playing style and preference.
The HAVOK 2 features an updated strut orientation specifically optimized for scooping. This geometry helps the head maintain its shape and leverage when digging into the turf, making it easier to secure possession in contested ground ball battles.
This head is designed for elite and advanced players who need high-performance equipment. While a beginner could use it, the tighter face shape is less forgiving than beginner-specific heads, which are typically wider to make catching easier.
