Abstract
A lacrosse head spacer includes a front surface, left and right side surfaces attached at a left and right edges of the front surface, and a curved back surface extending between the left and right side surfaces. A width of the lacrosse head spacer measured perpendicularly from the left side surface to the right side surface is larger than a minimum width dimension specified by NCAA rules for lacrosse heads such that when the lacrosse head spacer is inserted between sidewalls of a lacrosse head, the lacrosse head spacer maintains the sidewalls apart from each other at a distance larger than the minimum width dimension specified by NCAA rules for lacrosse heads.
Claims28
A lacrosse head and spacer combination comprising:
- a lacrosse head including a throat, sidewalls, and a scoop opposite the throat;
- and
- a lacrosse head spacer including:
- a first flat surface;
- a second surface and a third surface attached at opposing first and second edges of the first flat surface;
- a curved surface extending between the second surface and the third surface, wherein the curved surface is disposed opposite the first flat surface, and
- a coupling mechanism for coupling the lacrosse head spacer to the lacrosse head,
- wherein a width of the lacrosse head spacer measured perpendicularly from the second surface to the third surface is in a range of about 3.005 to about 4.25 inches,
- wherein the lacrosse head spacer is configured to be inserted between the sidewalls of the lacrosse head with the curved surface facing the throat of the lacrosse head and the first flat surface facing the scoop of the lacrosse head to maintain the sidewalls of the lacrosse head spaced apart a distance in a range of about 3.005 inches to about 4.25 inches when the lacrosse head spacer is inserted between the sidewalls of the lacrosse head.

- sidewalls, and a scoop opposite the throat;
- and
- a lacrosse head spacer including:
- a flat front surface,
- a left side surface attached at a left edge of the flat front surface,
- a right side surface attached at right edge of the flat front surface,
- a curved back surface extending between the left side surface and the right side surface, wherein the curved back surface is disposed opposite the flat front surface, and
- a coupling mechanism for coupling the lacrosse head spacer to the lacrosse head,
- wherein a width of the lacrosse head spacer measured perpendicularly from the left side surface to the right side surface is in a range of about 1% to about 40% larger than a minimum width dimension specified by NCAA rules for lacrosse heads,
- wherein the lacrosse head spacer is configured to be inserted between the sidewalls of the lacrosse head with the curved back surface facing the throat of the lacrosse head and the flat front surface facing the scoop of the lacrosse head to maintain the sidewalls of the lacrosse head spaced apart a distance in a range of about 1% to about 40% larger than a minimum width dimension specified by NCAA rules for lacrosse heads when the lacrosse head spacer is inserted between the sidewalls of the lacrosse head.
