| 👎 Cons |

For $130, players get one of Maverik’s top shafts, the Union. Maverik’s goal with the Union was to create a shaft that had the perfect blend of durability and weight. The Union is designed to be thicker in places where the shaft will take more of a beating and thinner in places where it takes less contact to help balance durability and weight. The shape and grip designed for this shaft give players a better feel and grip when shooting and passing.
