Every year lacrosse heads and shafts seem to get more and more expensive. Considering that many people's pockets are running on empty right now and the fact that lacrosse sticks tend to break eventually, a cheap, high-quality lacrosse head has to be in high demand.
The best deal I have found so far is the Gait Triton. Gait has discontinued the head and that is the reason for its very modest prices, which hovers between $30 and $40 depending on where you go. I just ordered two of them and 2 new pieces of mesh from lax.com [http://www.lax.com/shop/item.phtml?page=product_2360_front.phtml] and it totalled [w/ shipping!] around $100.
The head is great in my opinion for the following reasons: it is lightweight, strong, provides endless stringing options, relatively narrow face and it is fully offset. It is a great stick for box lacrosse as well as being the weapon of choice for Bryant's Zach Greer when he was playing with Duke... so you know its good... and now its cheap!
On a side note, it will be interesting to see what kind of stick Greer uses this season as Bryant was sponsored by Gait but now seems to be sponsored by Brine. You often see players use heads from non-sponsoring companies like Greer did at Duke.
