Lacrosse heads aren't cheap. A top-of-the-line head can run $80–$150 or more — and that's before you factor in stringing. So when a refurbished option shows up at half the price, it's worth asking: is it actually worth it? The short answer is yes — if it's done right. Here's what you need to know.
What Is a Refurbished Lacrosse Head?
A refurbished lacrosse head is a used head that has been inspected, cleaned, and restrung with fresh mesh and strings. At Repocket, every refurbished head goes through our lab process — we check for cracks, warping, and structural integrity before restringing it with a fresh Repocket pocket. If it doesn't pass, it doesn't go out.
The Case for Refurbished
- Price — Refurbished heads from Repocket typically run $80–$100, compared to $100–$150+ for new. You get a game-ready head for significantly less.
- Already broken in — New heads often require a break-in period. Refurbished heads have already been through it.
- Fresh pocket included — Every Repocket refurbished head comes with a fresh Repocket pocket already installed. No extra stringing cost.
- Sustainability — Giving a quality head a second life is better for the environment than buying new every season.
When New Makes Sense
- You want a specific head that isn't available refurbished
- You're playing at a high level and want the latest technology
- You prefer the peace of mind of a manufacturer warranty
What to Look for in a Refurbished Head
Not all refurbished heads are created equal. Look for sellers who inspect for structural damage, use quality mesh and strings, and stand behind their work. At Repocket, every head is inspected and game-ready before it ships.
