Lacrosse Heads

Below are a list of lacrosse heads that we would recommend. Shop around at the above websites to find the best deals. General Comments

• Buy an X spec or Universal lacrosse head. They are a little wider at the narrowest part of the head, and High School spec sticks will be illegal in the near future
• Kids usually like white heads as they get into the 12+ age range
• Kids usually like white mesh and white shooter strings. In addition some dyed mesh can feel harder and more rigid giving the head a little less hold

Attack

Less then $50

• Brine RP3 X - Usually right around $50
