Lacrosse head

Abstract

A lacrosse head having inwardly beveled top sidewall rails that extend along the length of the sidewalls, toward the center of the pocket. In this manner, when a player attempts to receive a thrown ball and fails to catch the ball in the pocket of the head cleanly without obstruction from the head frame, the top sidewall rails rebound the ball back inside the lacrosse head frame, thereby aiding in control of the ball. The present invention further includes a transverse wall at the distal end of the head with an inside surface having a scallop, groove or channel extending along substantially the length of the wall in which the edge of the mesh pocket is received and secured. The sidewalls of the head of the present invention are further provided with indicia associated with some or all of the stringing holes to assist in the stringing process.

What is claimed: 
     
         1 . A head for a lacrosse stick comprising
 a generally V-shaped frame having two side walls joined at a juncture and diverging therefrom and a transverse wall joining the ends of said side walls opposite of said juncture to define an internal area, said frame adapted to receive a web within said internal area, said two side walls each comprising an inside surface adjacent to said internal area and an opposing outside surface, said inside surface and said outside joined by an upper surface and a lower surface, said upper surface sloping downward from said outside surface toward said inside surface.   
     
     
         2 . A head for a lacrosse stick comprising
 a generally V-shaped frame having two side walls joined at a juncture and diverging therefrom and a transverse wall joining the ends of said side walls opposite of said juncture to define an internal area, said frame adapted to receive a web within said internal area, said transverse wall having an inside surface adjacent to said internal area and a channel formed along said inside surface in which an edge of said web is received.   
     
     
         3 . A head for a lacrosse stick comprising
 a generally V-shaped frame having two side walls joined at a juncture and diverging therefrom and a transverse wall joining the ends of said side walls opposite of said juncture to define an internal area, said frame adapted to receive a web within said internal area, said two side walls having a plurality of pairs of through holes provided there through to facilitate receipt of said web, one of each of said pairs of through holes being formed in each of said side walls, said side walls further comprising a plurality of indicia identifying at least one web configuration.
