Abstract
An embodiment of the present invention provides an offset lacrosse head comprising a shaft, a collar, and a head. The collar defines an opening that receives the shaft. The head has a juncture. The juncture defines a socket that receives the collar, and the socket and the shaft are non-concentric. In a further aspect of this embodiment, the shaft has a shaft axis, the opening of the collar has an opening axis, the socket of the juncture has a socket axis, and at least one of the socket axis, the opening axis, and the shaft axis is offset, when viewed from a side elevation of the lacrosse stick facing an exterior of a sidewall of the head.
Claims20
A lacrosse stick comprising:
- a shaft;
- a collar defining an opening that receives the shaft, a distal portion of the shaft disposed inside the opening radially within the collar;
- and
- a head having a juncture, the juncture defining a socket that receives the collar, both the distal portion of the shaft and the collar being disposed radially within the socket, and the socket and the distal portion of the shaft being non-concentric,
- wherein the distal portion of the shaft has a shaft axis, the opening of the collar has an opening axis, the socket of the juncture has a socket axis, and at least one of the socket axis, the opening axis, and the shaft axis is offset, when viewed from a side elevation of the lacrosse stick facing an exterior of a sidewall of the head.
The lacrosse stick of claim. 15, the indicia of the first collar and the second collar comprising one of different numerals and different colors.
A lacrosse stick comprising:
- a shaft having a shaft axis defined parallel to the length of the shaft;
- a collar defining an opening that receives the shaft, a distal portion of the shaft disposed inside the opening radially within the collar;
- and
- a head having a juncture, the juncture defining a socket that receives the collar, the socket and the distal portion of the shaft being non-concentric,
- wherein the collar and the shaft are disposed radially within the socket such that cross-sections of each of the shaft, the collar, and the socket are viewable in a cross-section of the lacrosse stick taken along the socket in a plane perpendicular to the shaft axis, and
- wherein the distal portion of the shaft has a shaft axis, the opening of the collar has an opening axis, the socket of the juncture has a socket axis, and at least one of the socket axis, the opening axis, and the shaft axis is offset, when viewed from a side elevation of the lacrosse stick facing an exterior of a sidewall of the head.
