A lacrosse stick having a head and a handle attached to the head wherein the head comprises a generally V-shaped frame with a crosspiece extending out of the plane of the head. The base of the head includes an arcuate recess along its back side to form with the netting a socket for receiving and retaining the lacrosse ball. The handle is a non-regular octagon in cross-section with the long sides of the handle extending generally parallel to the plane containing the head. The handle is provided at its proximal end with an enlarged butt cap approximately 1.5 times the largest cross-sectional dimension of the handle. The handle also increases in cross-sectional dimension from a median point towards its opposite ends. The netting in the head is replaceable with preformed netting by inserting preformed loops at the ends of the transverse lacing in openings and securing the loops along the outer side frames of the head. The longitudinal reinforcing strips are likewise received in openings and secured in adjusted positions.
A head for a lacrosse stick comprising
A lacrosse stick comprising a head derfining a plane and a handle connected at one end to said head, the opposite end of said handle carrying a butt cap, said handle having a predetermined non-regular octagonal cross-sectional configuration with major and minor axes and a maximum dimension in one cross-sectional direction, the largest cross-sectional dimension of said butt cap being at least 1.5 times the maximum cross-sectional dimension of said handle, said major axis lying generally parallel to said plane and said minor axis lying generally normal to said plane, said butt cap forming, in cross-section, a non-regular octagon with discrete sides in location about said handle corresponding to the sides of said handle.
A lacrosse stick comprising a head defining a plane and an elongated handle connected to said head at one end thereof, said handle having a minimum cross-sectional dimension at a location intermediate the ends of said handle and increasing in cross-sectional dimension from said intermediate location in both longitudinal directions to provide cross-sectional dimensions adjacent opposite ends of said handle larger that the cross-sectional dimension of said handle at said intermediate location, said handle having a non-regular octagonal cross-sectional with major and minor axes, said major axis lying generally parallel to the plane of said head and said minor axis lying generally normal to the plane of said head.
For use with the head of a lacrosse stick having a frame including spaced side walls, a crosspiece joining said side walls at one end at the top of the frame and a lower frame portion joining the opposite ends of said side walls, said side and transverse walls having a plurality of openings disposed therethrough and spaced therealong, a netting for securement to said frame, said netting including transversely extending lacing and longitudinally extending flexible strips, said lacing terminating along opposite sides of said netting in longitudinally spaced, discrete loops for passage through the openings in the side walls of said frame and terminating along the outside surfaces of said side walls, means cooperable with the loops along the outside of said side walls for releasably retaining said netting to said frame, said longitudinally extending strips having ends receivable through the openings in said crosspiece, and means for releasably securing the ends of said longitudinally extending strips extending through the openings thereof to secure the netting to said frame.
For use as part of a lacrosse stick, a lacrosse stick head comprised of a generally V-shaped open frame having a base, side walls and a crosspiece closing the V-shaped frame along its open end;
