Patent ID: 7766772

Claim:
A handle for a lacrosse head comprising: a hollow tube having a longitudinal length extending along a longitudinal axis between a first end and a second end, said first end adapted to connect to a lacrosse head, said hollow tube including an interior surface and an exterior surface defining a wall thickness therebetween, said exterior surface having an octagonal shape in cross section along a plane normal to said longitudinal axis, said octagonal shape including eight sides and eight corners, wherein the hollow tube includes an outer perimeter that is substantially uniform from the first end to the second end, wherein said hollow tube defines a centerline extending in said plane through said longitudinal axis, the center line dividing the hollow tube into opposing first and second portions wherein the wall thickness of at least one of said sides and said corners in the first portion is greater than the wall thickness of at least one of said sides and said corners in the second portion, such that the difference in wall thickness provides said hollow tube with an asymmetrical weight distribution about said centerline that provides feedback to the user of the lacrosse stick as to the orientation of the hollow tube, and thus the lacrosse head, in the user's hands.
