Maverik Hypercore Defence Lacrosse Shaft

Description

Material

The shaft is made from Carbon Composite, this lightweight shaft provides outstanding performance at a reasonable price. It’s an excellent mix of good strength without the extra weight that the more robust defensive shafts have.

Shaft Design

Unique to the Hypercore Shaft, the I-Beam technology is a revolutionary design that adds extra strength and reduces flex without adding significant amounts of extra weight. The I-Beam runs vertically through the core of the shaft. This acts to reduce the flex in the throwing and shooting motion. You will still feel some flex laterally and usually only throwing checks using the side of the shaft.

We’ve never seen anything like this before and it looks to be a very solid idea. It’s not hard to tell that the flex has been reduced because long poles made of carbon do flex quite a lot.

Cross Section

The shaft features a standard, decades-old, octagonal shape design. When considering the features of the shaft, such as the I-Beam, this is at the other end of the revolutionary scale.

Exterior Finish

The shaft is finished with a matte coating which has a softer feel and sits in the palm of your gloves well. If you do tend to tape you shafts, you will most likely have to tape this one.

Accessories

Comes with the Adjustable Butt-End (ABE) and a complimentary tool from that fits the two screw heads. One for the shaft screw and one for the ABE.
