PERFORMANCE SPORTS GROUP LTD | Maverik Lacrosse Launches Innovative New APOLLO Shaft |
| Designed for Pure Speed, the APOLLO Shaft Expands Brand's Offering for Elite Players NEW YORK - September 18, 2015 - Maverik Lacrosse, a leading lacrosse equipment manufacturer, launched on Tuesday its latest and most innovative shaft, the APOLLO. Designed for speed, it is the lightest in the MAVERIK family and delivers maximum shot velocity. "This next-generation of MAVERIK shafts is the result of our investment into research, development and validation," said Kyle Sweeney, Marketing Director for Maverik Lacrosse. "For the APOLLO, we utilized state-of-the-art technologies and materials to build a shaft that is lightweight and durable for elite players that are quick, agile and looking to score." The APOLLO incorporates a new Dynamic Wall Taper, a unique design that allows for a varied thickness in the shaft. This process adds material to increase thickness and strength in the targeted areas of the shaft that see the most aggressive action on the field. Other areas incorporate a thinner wall design to allow for the speed and weight savings without jeopardizing durability or power. "The APOLLO launches in authorized MAVERIK dealers today and is available for lacrosse players now," said Sweeney. "The feedback we received from our elite roster of athletes in Major League Lacrosse and teams in NCAA Division I has been incredible, which is why we're so excited to deliver this premium shaft to young kids and athletes looking to elevate their game." The APOLLO rounds out the MAVERIK family of elite shafts. With the APOLLO built for speed, Maverik Lacrosse also recently launched the UNION, which is built to maximize power and strength, and the CALIBER, a premium d-pole that optimizes weight and balance to lock down the game's best offensive talent. Each of these MAVERIK shafts comes with the company's unique Adjustable Butt-End, a revolutionary addition to the bottom of the shaft that allows a player to customize the feel and grip area for the lower hand. In addition, the new MAVERIK RX3 glove, first worn publicly last season by the Notre Dame men's lacrosse team and MAVERIK MLL athletes, and a new wide assortment of lacrosse accessories, lifestyle apparel and hats will be available for the first time at authorized dealers starting today.
