	Lacrosse shafts are mostly a preference thing. It might be best to go into Lacrosse Unlimited and test them out. Depending on the style of player, you may want a stronger shaft vs a lighter shaft. You will want a stronger shaft for the player that likes doing one handed checks, or cross checks with his hands slightly wide. Offensive players will want a lighter shaft.

	There really isn't a reason to spend more than $100 for a Lacrosse shaft. In fact, you can get good deals on shafts at the Lacrosse Monkey clearance section: https://www.lacrossemonkey.com/clearance.html . If you are looking for a newer shaft see the list below.		There really isn't a reason to spend more than $100 for a 40 inch or $175 for a 60 inch Lacrosse shaft.

	If your brand new to ~~lacrosse and under the age of 8 or 9~~, I ~~would recommend this stick as your first one. It~~'~~s got a nice wide head which makes it easier to catch. I would~~ recommend ~~that you get~~ the ~~stick restrung, ask your local team coaches if they can restring it for you~~. ~~The stick is usually sold at Dicks Sporting Goods~~ and ~~costs approx~~ $~~30. If your child is new to the sport or if you are unsure if they will be enjoying it long term, then this is the stick for you~~.		If your brand new to Lacrosse, I'd recommend the StringKing Complete line of sticks. They come with great mesh and pockets and are reasonably priced.
