About The Maverik Tank 2.0
LAX DRIP REVIEWS
Maverik released the newest edition of their popular defensive lacrosse head—the Tank 2.0—in late 2020 and it is still one of the top choice of elite college defensemen.
As the name suggests, this head is quite literally a tank. It is super stiff, helping it deliver hard checks without being too heavy. The wide face shape makes intercepting passes easy and gives more area for laying checks.
The Tank 2.0 includes an improved scoop, as well, that makes grabbing GBs a breeze after you check the ball out of someone’s stick.
On the downside, the wide face shape makes it harder to string a narrow channel. This can make it harder to achieve good hold, making carrying the ball in transition potentially difficult.
Like many other defense heads, the Tank 2.0 is designed primarily for a mid-to-high or high pocket. Using a dropped top string is a good way to achieve a tight channel in a high pocket with the Tank 2.0.
If you prefer a wide defense head that will hold up for multiple seasons, you won’t be disappointed with the Maverik Tank 2.0.
Pros
- Very stiff
- Wide face shape (for those that prefer it)
