Maverik Hyperdrive Attack Lacrosse Shaft

Description

Material

The Hyperdrive is manufactured with a carbon composite material which gives it added strength without adding extra weight. The shaft weighs about 170g, which is great for a 30″ shaft and a few grams less than the equivalent metal shafts from Maverik.

Shaft Design

The design comes with a “zero-flex” feature. Most carbon-based shafts, when compared to metal shafts, have a bit of flex in them, but Maverik has opted for a specific carbon weave to greatly reduce this flex. Flex gives you a bit more whip, which is advantageous for high-velocity shooters, but two-way players prefer a more rigid shaft for groundballs and short-stick defence, and this shaft is designed just for that.

Cross Section

The cross-section of the shafts is the standard traditional design. No over-pronounced concave edges, just a standard octagonal design, which works well.

Exterior Finish

The shaft is finished off with the Maverik bead-blast finish. It’s somewhat smooth (your gloves will love not getting chewed up) but when you grip it hard the ever-so-slight bead texture will come into play. If you do normally tape your shafts, have a go first without some, but keep a roll handy.

Accessories

As with all the Maverik shafts, the Adjustable Butt-End (ABE) is included. These are a fantastic idea and designed well. They will fit on any shaft.

A dual screw tool is included so you can adjust the ABE and well as the shaft screw. It’s small and compact so it will fit almost anywhere.
