The Maverik Ascent Women's Lacrosse Complete Stick has a 22 Degree Release Angle^TM which allows for high-powered shots, accurate passes and superior draw control. The highest in degree technology, to date. With enhanced stiffness and a Ground Control scoop, the Ascent is tenacious in unsettled situations. Our Pro's threw around with it in the back, and were impressed how it handled with the Pro Strung Rail Elite pocket.   They think the rail piece puts the ball in the sweet spot every time for a quick release.  Our Pro's have choosen the Maverick Ascent as one of their top picks for 2020.  Little, to no, break in for this Pro Strung Rail Elite pocket. We also love the new rose gold color accents, and the 7/8" shaft (aka THE THINNEST SHAFT FOR GIRLS), which features a new molded butt end design. The sidewall geometry design for the draw allows the Ascent to slide easily into the opponent's head for better placement on the draw. The shielded sidewall protects stringing from wear and tear. We think this is a perfect stick for the power shooting midfielder and for the Draw. The head was proudly strung at Lax.com.
