Technology

One of the notable advancements from Maverik is the update to their Max protection line, enhancing comfort and maneuverability for players. The EKG chest protection technology now features a four-point deflection system to improve ball deflection while maintaining comfort and protection against commotio cordis. The Max arm protection line has been updated with Anaform padding to offer protection from slashes and checks without sacrificing flexibility. Additionally, the Max glove has been engineered with Anaform finger ridges for improved protection and mobility, incorporating Flowcool technology for better ventilation​​.

Maverik's lacrosse shafts boast lightweight technology and ABE (Adjustable Butt-End), designed for player preference and a locked-in fit. Their shafts are categorized into different shapes like Speed Shape, Signature Shape, and Traditional Shape to match various play styles, from aggressive offensive players to defenders seeking control and power​​.

The company also offers innovative lacrosse heads like the Kinetik 3.0 and Havok 2.0. The Kinetik 3.0 head is designed for serious athletes, featuring ground control technology for decreased weight and increased stiffness, enhancing ball control in all weather conditions. The Havok 2.0, on the other hand, is engineered for long middies or defensemen, offering an optimal scoop angle and a lightweight design for strength and durability​​.

For defensive players, the Maverik Tank 2.0 head is the stiffest head produced by Maverik, with Ground Control scoop and X-Rail Technology for superior ground ball control and stiffness​​. The Maverik Caliber 2021 Lacrosse Shaft, made with Scandium-Titanium alloy, represents Maverik's strongest shaft, featuring Dual Wall Taper Technology for enhanced durability and confidence in play​​.

These technological advancements demonstrate Maverik's commitment to providing lacrosse players with high-quality, innovative gear tailored to enhance performance and safety on the field.
