Abstract
An improved lacrosse head having grooves along the outer surface of the scoop-shaped end adapted to protect the lacings of a net structure from abrasive contact. The grooves will be defined by (1) grooved depressions in the outer surface of the scoop-shaped end, or (2) pairs of raised ridges on the outer surface of the scoop-shaped end. The grooves will extend from the openings, through which the net structure is laced, to the edge of the frame to which the net is attached.

An improved head for a lacrosse stick comprising a generally V-shaped frame having two side walls joined at a juncture and diverging therefrom, a transverse wall joining the ends of said side walls opposite of said juncture and forming a scoop-shaped end of the frame, said frame having a plurality of openings through the side walls and transverse wall to accommodate the attachment of a laced net structure to one side of the frame;
- wherein the improvement comprises a plurality of grooves along the outer surface of the transverse wall equal in number to the openings through said transverse wall and extending from each opening in the transverse wall to the edge of the frame intended to be provided with the laced net structure, the width of said grooves being substantially equal to the width of the openings through the transverse wall and the depth of said grooves being at least about the thickness of the lacings on the laced net structure.
