Abstract
A multi-component lacrosse stick head, made of at least two materials, including a base lacrosse head structure of one material and one or more overlays made of one or more other materials strategically located on the base structure. The base structure and overlays provide particular performance characteristics for the lacrosse head. An embodiment of the invention includes a base lacrosse head structure, and at least one of a ball stop overlay, a sidewall overlay, an edge overlay, a thread opening overlay, and a scoop overlay. The overlays are affixed to the base lacrosse head structure by, for example, insert molding, over molding, reaction injection molding, spray application, rotational molding, dual extrusion, casting, or an interference fit.

A lacrosse stick head comprising:
- a base lacrosse head structure that includes a stop member, two sidewalls connected to the stop member, and a scoop connected to the two sidewalls opposite the stop member, wherein a sidewall of the two sidewalls has a recess;
- and
- an overlay molded into the recess of the sidewall.
A lacrosse stick head comprising:
- a base lacrosse head structure that includes a stop member, two sidewalls connected to the stop member, and a scoop connected to the two sidewalls opposite the stop member, wherein a sidewall of the two sidewalls has a recess;
- and
- a tab molded into the recess of the sidewall, wherein the tab includes a thread opening, and wherein the base lacrosse head structure is more rigid than the tab.

- and
- an overlay molded into the recess of the sidewall, wherein the overlay protrudes from the frame, wherein the overlay includes a thread opening, and wherein the overlay has a durometer value less than that of the frame.
A lacrosse stick head comprising:
- a base lacrosse head structure having a stop member connected to a first sidewall and a second sidewall, and a scoop connected to the first sidewall and the second sidewall opposite the stop member, wherein the first sidewall has a first recess and the second sidewall has a second recess;
- a first overlay molded into the first recess;
- and
- a second overlay molded into the second recess.
