Lacrosse Goalie Head

A lacrosse goalie head, which includes:

• a transverse base cross member at least a portion of which is generally linear;
• a transverse upper cross member at least a portion of which is generally linear;
• a pair of opposing sidewalls interconnecting said transverse base cross member and said transverse upper cross member to collectively form a generally skull-shaped frame having a front surface and a back surface, each said opposing sidewall includes a generally nonlinear obtuse portion between said upper cross member and said base cross member such that said sidewalls and said transverse base cross member define a smaller width profile lower throat section and said sidewalls and said transverse upper cross member define a larger width profile upper scoop section, and said transverse base cross member has a greater height than said transverse upper cross member and sidewalls and wherein said head sidewalls have a an inner face which transitions approximate said throat section being generally perpendicular to a plane defined through spatially oriented string holes of said head to obtuse relative to said plane in an area of said upper scoop section;
• a stick receiving portion extending from said transverse base cross member;
• a continuous rib extends about a perimeter of said generally skull-shaped frame between said front surface and said back surface adjacent recessed sections medially in said sidewalls, transverse base cross member and transverse upper cross member;
• said recessed sections include a plurality of said spatially oriented string holes about said generally skull-shaped frame to receive a string web;
• a widening portion extends about said generally skull-shaped frame between said continuous rib and said front surface;
• and
• wherein each said sidewall includes an open arcuate lattice structure characterized such that each open lattice structure has a larger end adjacent said transverse base cross member and terminates in a small end more than midway in length of said sidewall.
