Abstract:
Embodiments provide a lacrosse head having a stop member, a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a transverse wall. The stop member may be configured to receive a handle defining a horizontal centerline. The first and second sidewall may extend from the stop member in a forward direction, with the transverse wall connecting the first and second sidewalls opposite to the stop member. When viewed from a side view, a lower sidewall rail of the first sidewall may descend at a first angle, relative to the horizontal centerline, from a first rearward end portion adjacent to the stop member to a second forward end portion at a transition point of the first sidewall, and the first rearward end portion may be raised relative to a lowermost point of the stop member, such that the stop member is offset downwardly from the first rearward end portion.

Claim (Index 15):
A lacrosse head comprising:\n a stop member configured to receive a handle, a majority length of the handle defining a horizontal centerline; a first sidewall extending from the stop member in a forward direction; a second sidewall extending from the stop member in the forward direction; a transverse wall connecting the first sidewall and the second sidewall opposite to the stop member, wherein the first sidewall has a lower sidewall rail, and wherein when viewed from a side view:\n a descending portion of the lower sidewall rail descends generally linearly at a first angle, relative to the horizontal centerline, from a first rearward end portion adjacent to the stop member to a second forward end portion at a transition point of the first sidewall, \n an ascending portion of the lower sidewall rail ascends generally linearly at a second angle, relative to the horizontal centerline, from a first rearward end portion at the transition point to a second forward end portion adjacent to the transverse wall, \n wherein the lower sidewall rail descending portion and the lower sidewall rail ascending portion define a lower sidewall rail transition angle at which the lower sidewall rail ascending portion turns upward at the transition point, and \n wherein the lower sidewall rail transition angle is less than 140 degrees.
