Lacrosse Sticks

I broke my lacrosse stick in the last scrimmage of the year, and it was totally unnecessary.  I whiffed a left handed shot and hit the ground with my stick where the head of the stick broke in two places.  Great!  The only good thing that came of it was that I needed to get a new stick anyway or get that head re-strung since it was going to be illegal in the upcoming season.  My friend said she would give me the head of her old stick, but I think it was an Apex like mine.  I wonder how much it would cost to re-string.  The hubster was going to get me a stick for my Christmas present and I had decided on the DeBeer Tempest Pro, but I later found out is uses transfer offset system (TOS) which requires a special shaft.  I like the shaft I have.  I don't think its been improved upon much since I saw it at Dick's the other day for around $70 or $80.  I did some research this morning and think I'll get the DeBeer Tempest Pro 2.  At the DeBeer booth at the lacrosse convention, they said they were moving away from the TOS sticks since people wanted to mix and match shafts and heads and the Tempest Pro is only compatible with DeBeer TOS shafts.  The Tempest Pro 2 looks very similar to its predecessor, but can use a regular straight shaft  (I think).  So that's what I'm going to go with.  Now to find it discounted.  I hate paying full price.
