Patent ID: 7621832

Claim:
A handle for a lacrosse stick, comprising: a tubular member having a polygonal cross section and a top end for attachment to a lacrosse head and a bottom end that is opposite to said top end, said tubular member having an outer surface, said polygonal cross section including a top half having a first wall thickness and a bottom half having a second wall thickness, said top half delineated from said bottom half by a plane extending through an axis of the tubular member; a coating coupled to at least one predetermined portion of said outer surface for strengthening said tubular member, preventing damage thereto, and decreasing vibration therein; and a no-slip layer joined with at least one of said coating and said outer surface, said no-slip layer partially circumferentiating said tubular member, said no-slip layer including a first end and a second end, each of said first and second ends tapering from a first thickness to a lesser thickness where the no-slip layer approaches the plane extending through the axis of the tubular member, each of said first and second ends terminating at a first and second lateral edges near said lateral plane; said tubular member having an eccentric construction so that a center of mass of said tubular member is offset from said plane, said eccentric construction created by a difference in said first wall thickness relative to said second wall thickness for providing tactile feedback as to the orientation of said top half and said bottom half of the lacrosse stick in a player's hand.
