Lacrosse handle

Abstract

A handle for a lacrosse stick includes an elongate carbon fiber central core having a length extending substantially the entire length of the handle along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end, the first end adapted to rigidly connect to a lacrosse head, the second end being opposite to the first end; a layer of foam padding surrounding and affixed to the central core from the second end and extending substantially along the entire length of the central core, the first end of the central core protruding from the padding; and an adapter rigidly affixed to the protruding first end of the central core, the adapter having a cross-sectional shape and dimensions selected to rigidly engage an opening in the lacrosse head. The central core is formed from carbon fiber elements selected from hollow tubes and solid rods.
