Is a $25 Lacrosse Head Too Good to Be True? Let’s Talk.

Is a $25 Lacrosse Head Too Good to Be True? Let’s Talk.

The other day, longtime customer Matt hit me with a question that a lot of lacrosse players and coaches have about the RC1… and honestly, I get it.

👉 "I’m a brainwashed consumer, and when I see the cheap price tag, I’m immediately skeptical about the durability of the head."

Fair question. We’ve all been conditioned to believe that if a lacrosse head doesn’t cost $90+, it must not be any good. But is that actually true?

Let’s break it down.

Why Are Big-Brand Lacrosse Heads So Expensive?

Here’s the thing most players don’t realize: a lacrosse head doesn’t cost $90 because of the plastic.

The actual material and production cost? Around $5.

So where does the rest of that price tag come from?

• Big Ad Budgets – Those sponsorships, social media campaigns, and commercials? Someone’s got to pay for them.
• Expensive R&D & Tooling Costs – Large brands spend big on development (which is great), but they also charge for every hour put into it.
• Retail Markups – Many lacrosse brands sell through big-box retailers, who typically double the price to make their margin.

The RC1: Built Differently

The RC1 wasn’t created by a big corporation looking to squeeze every dollar out of players. It was designed by passionate lacrosse players—including a designer who used to work for a big-name brand—who care more about growing the game than inflating prices.

It’s made from the same high-end plastic found in premium heads on the market. It was tested at a D1 school (Stony Brook), and some players STILL use it—even when they get free heads from big brands.

The difference?

• We don’t have a bloated ad budget.
• We don’t charge for every hour spent designing it.
• We sell direct, so there are no massive retail markups.

And that’s why the RC1 is just $24.99 unstrung or $34.99 strung—without sacrificing quality.

Try It. If You Don’t Think It’s Worth 2X the Price, We’ll Take It Back.

I get it—skepticism is real. So here’s the deal:

If you don’t think the RC1 is worth at least twice the price, we’ll happily take it back and give you a full refund.

That means you can put it through the wringer, throw some checks, and see if it holds up. If it doesn’t, you’re not out a dime.

So what do you think—are we all just brainwashed consumers, or is it time to change the game?
