Know before you buy
The Axiom is designed for versatility, making it a solid choice for intermediate players who need a reliable, all-around stick. Its pinched face shape and high pocket hold offer enough control for developing skills while providing the precision experienced players demand.
The pinched face shape narrows the channel of the head, which helps funnel the ball toward the sweet spot. This design promotes a quicker release and more consistent accuracy, giving you better control over your passes and shots.
A high pocket is designed to keep the ball secure in the sweet spot, which is excellent for ball retention while dodging. While it may require a slight adjustment if you are used to a mid-pocket, it generally provides a very responsive feel for catching and cradling.
These reinforcements are designed to protect your stringing from fraying and snapping against the plastic head. By reducing friction and wear at the attachment points, they help your pocket maintain its shape and tension for a longer period.
Yes, the Maverik Axiom comes pre-strung with a mesh pocket. It is ready for play immediately, though you may want to spend some time breaking in the mesh to suit your specific preference for pocket depth.
The scoop is engineered with a specific curvature that allows you to get under the ball more easily, even at difficult angles. This helps you scoop up ground balls cleanly without having to adjust your stick angle excessively.
