Patent ID: 7993221

Claim:
A lacrosse head comprising: a frame element including a base, a scoop located opposite said base, and a pair of rigid opposing sidewalls integrally formed with and extending between said base and said scoop so that said sidewalls, said base and said scoop are monolithic; wherein each of said pair of sidewalls includes an upper rim and a lower rim; a horizontal reference plane defined by an upper surface of said frame element; wherein the lowest portion of said lower rim on one of said pair of opposing sidewalls and said horizontal plane define a first distance there between; wherein the lowest portion of said lower rim on the other of said pair of opposing sidewalls and said horizontal plane define a second distance there between; wherein said second distance is greater than said first distance; wherein said other opposing sidewall includes a first height between the upper and lower rims of said other opposing sidewall, wherein the one opposing sidewall includes a second height between the upper and lower rims of said one opposing sidewall, wherein the first height of the other opposing sidewall is greater than and unequal to the second height of the one opposing sidewall, wherein the lowest portion of the lower rim of the other of said pair of opposing sidewalls corresponds to and is aligned with a pivot axis, wherein the frame element is configured to be rotated about the pivot axis by a user, whereby the frame element rotates about the pivot axis during a lacrosse game face-off with less angular rotation about the pivot axis than the angular rotation associated with a conventional lacrosse head which does not include opposing sidewalls of unequal height.
