Abstract
A lacrosse head includes sidewalls having an open frame construction. The sidewalls include an upper rail and a lower rail, along with a cross member joined with the upper rail and the lower rail. The cross member defines multiple holes corresponding to multiple pocket configurations so that a user can attach a lacrosse net to selected ones of the holes and achieve a desired pocket profile. Optionally, at least one of the upper and lower rails can be void of any string holes. Further optionally, the cross member can branch into one or more secondary members that also define string holes to provide additional pocket profiles. Even further optionally, the holes defined by the cross member can be of polygonal shape.
Claims35
A lacrosse head comprising:
- a throat adapted to connect to a lacrosse handle;
- a base joined with the throat, the base including a ball stop;
- a scoop distal from the base;
- and
- a first sidewall and a second sidewall, each extending from the base toward the scoop and joined with one another distal from the base at the scoop, each first and second sidewall being of an open frame construction and defining at least one non-string hole, each first and second sidewall including an upper rail and a lower rail, and at least one cross member extending between and joined with the upper rail and the lower rail,
- wherein both of the upper rail and lower rail of both of the first and second sidewalls are substantially void of any string holes,
- wherein the cross member defines a plurality of string holes adapted to receive strings of a lacrosse net so that a user can attach the lacrosse net to the head to form a pocket that is at least partially suspended and located between the first and second sidewalls.
A lacrosse head comprising:
- a throat adapted to connect to a lacrosse handle;
- a base joined with the throat;
- a scoop distal from the base;
- and
- a pair of sidewalls extending from the base and joined with one another distal from the base at the scoop, each sidewall being of an open frame construction, each sidewall including an upper rail and a lower rail separated from one another by a distance, each sidewall including a cross member joined with the upper rail and the lower rail,
- wherein the cross member, lower rail and upper rail cooperate to at least partially define a sidewall hole in the sidewall that reduces the weight of the head,
- wherein the cross member defines a plurality of first laterally extending holes and a plurality of second laterally extending holes, the first laterally extending holes aligned along a first contour on the cross member, the second laterally extending holes aligned along a second contour on the cross member,
- wherein the first laterally extending holes and the second laterally extending holes are adapted to receive a lacrosse net so that a user can string the lacrosse net to selected ones of the plurality of first laterally extending holes and the plurality of second laterally extending holes in a desired combination and provide the lacrosse net with a desired pocket profile.
A lacrosse head comprising:
- a throat adapted to connect to a lacrosse handle;
- a base joined with the throat;
- a scoop distal from the base;
- and
- a pair of sidewalls extending from the base and joined with one another distal from the base at the scoop, each sidewall being of an open frame construction, each sidewall including an upper rail and a lower rail separated from one another by a distance, each sidewall including a cross member joined with the upper rail and the lower rail,
- wherein the cross member defines a plurality of polygonal holes corresponding to a plurality of pocket configurations, whereby a user can attach a lacrosse net to selected ones of the plurality of polygonal holes and achieve a desired pocket profile.
