Patent ID: 8376880

Claim:
A method of selecting between different lacrosse heads comprising: providing a first lacrosse head constructed from a first material having an elasticity, the first lacrosse head joined with a lacrosse handle, and a temperature indicator joined with at least one of the first lacrosse head and the lacrosse handle, the temperature indicator adapted to output a first temperature-related output and a second temperature-related output, the second temperature-related output based on an elasticity changing temperature that corresponds to a change in the elasticity of the first material of the first lacrosse head; transforming the temperature indicator so that the temperature indicator transitions from outputting the first temperature-related output to outputting the second temperature-related output; and changing from the first lacrosse head to a second lacrosse head constructed from a second material in response to the second temperature-related output corresponding to the change in elasticity of the first material of the first lacrosse head; wherein the second lacrosse head has a second elasticity less than said first elasticity, whereby the second lacrosse head functions better than the first lacrosse head when subjected to temperatures above the elasticity changing temperature.
