Abstract:
A lacrosse head for attachment to a lacrosse stick includes a shaft section with an opening for coaxially accommodating the lacrosse stick therein along a longitudinal centerline, a front surface of the shaft section defining a first plane. The lacrosse head also includes two sidewalls extending divergently from the shaft section and including a throat section, curving rearwardly with respect to the shaft section, and a flare-out section flaring further outward from the throat section, with a scoop connecting the two sidewalls distally from the shaft section. A front surface of the flare-out section lies in a second plane, which is rearwardly offset from and parallel to the first plane. The shaft section includes two attachment holes oriented perpendicularly with respect to the longitudinal centerline and configured for accommodating an attachment device for securing the lacrosse head onto the lacrosse stick inserted into the opening in the shaft section.

Claim (Index 14):
A lacrosse head for attachment to a lacrosse stick, the lacrosse head comprising:\n a shaft section including an opening for coaxially accommodating the lacrosse stick therein along a longitudinal centerline, a front portion of the shaft section defining a first plane; two sidewalls extending divergently from the shaft section and defining a throat section and a flare-out section, the two sidewalls curving rearwardly with respect to the shaft section in the throat section and flaring further outward with respect to the longitudinal centerline in the flare-out section; and a scoop connecting the two sidewalls distally from the shaft section, wherein a front surface of the flare-out section substantially lies in a second plane, the second plane being rearwardly offset from and parallel to the first plane, and wherein each one of the two sidewalls comprise a forward rail and a rearward rail extending from the shaft section and tapering together into a single piece at the scoop, each one of the forward and rearward rails having a pentagonal cross section through the flare-out section.
