Especially at SC you can likely find some N12s or T90s/100/120s on clearance/sale often for $100 or less.
I currently rock N10s/N12s and T90s, which are all low-kick sticks. The newer "T" series (T100/120) I believe are all mid-kick sticks. Honestly, they are all on par with any Bauer/Easton halo stick I've used/borrowed (and there have been a number of them) but for an excellent price. The sticks I bought were all sub 80 (for top-tier sticks!!!!). The stick feel and balance is excellent and sometimes superior to the big boys. It's to the point where the SW Rekkors are too light, but damn are they nice sticks.

Thanks, maybe I'll give them a try. I was actually using a $50 Warrior stick for roller last season and was surprised by it not being so bad.

I lent a buddy my Easton HTX for a skate last week. He was using an old Easton that weighed a ton. After the skate he texted me from the hockey shop. He was sold on the high end stick in one skate  |
I definitely notice a big difference between the higher end sticks vs. the cheaper ones. I usually get lucky with stick buying and find last years models for a decent deal.
Went to sport check and they had literally NO right handed stock, maybe 2 or 3 sticks that were RH 85-87 flex....
I lucked out though and found an unused stealth CX in my preferred spec on craigslist for a good deal.
