Shaft for lacrosse stick

Abstract

A shaft for a lacrosse stick comprises an elongated tubular body and an outer layer. The body is made of rigid materials. The body can be constructed by one piece or a plurality of sections and have a top end for attachment to a lacrosse head and a butt end to be slipped onto by an end cap. The outer layer is made of elastic materials, such as plastic PU (polyurethane), foam materials which are wrapped around a predetermined portion of the body. The wall thickness of the body is designed in a range of 1.00 mm to 3.00 mm. The thickness of the outer layer is designed in Abstract a range of 0.50 mm to 3.00 mm.
