Abstract:
A lacrosse head configured to form a pocket channel, the lacrosse head having a stop member, first and second sidewalls extending from the stop member in a forward direction, and a scoop connecting the first sidewall and the second sidewall opposite to the stop member, with the scoop having a forward edge and a rearward edge, with the rearward edge of the scoop defining generally an arc shape except for a recessed portion disposed at a longitudinal centerline of the lacrosse head, and with the scoop defining at least one stringing hole disposed forward of the recessed portion. Alternatively, a lacrosse head may have a scoop that defines a plurality of lateral stringing holes disposed generally along an arc, and that defines a forwardly offset stringing hole disposed along a longitudinal centerline of the lacrosse head and forward of the arc.

Claim (Index 21):
A lacrosse head, comprising:\n a stop member; 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 scoop connecting the first sidewall and the second sidewall opposite to the stop member, wherein the scoop has a forward edge and a rearward edge, wherein the rearward edge of the scoop defines a recessed portion that is disposed at a longitudinal centerline of the lacrosse head and is recessed with respect to a first lateral portion of the rearward edge on a first side of the longitudinal centerline and a second lateral portion of the rearward edge on a second side of the longitudinal centerline opposite to the first side, wherein the scoop defines:\n at least one offset stringing opening disposed forward of the recessed portion, \n a first lateral stringing opening disposed laterally beyond the recessed portion and adjacent to the first lateral portion of the rearward edge, and \n a second lateral stringing opening disposed laterally beyond the recessed portion and adjacent to the second lateral portion of the rearward edge; and \n a mesh material attached to the at least one offset stringing opening, to the first lateral stringing opening, to the second lateral stringing opening, to the first sidewall, to the second sidewall, and to stop member, and wherein attachment of the mesh material to the at least one offset stringing opening pulls a central portion of the mesh material more forward of remaining forward portions of the mesh material that are attached to the first and second lateral stringing openings, and tensions the mesh material in a longitudinal direction from the scoop to the stop member, in a first diagonal direction from the recessed portion to the first sidewall, and in a second diagonal direction from the recessed portion to the second sidewall, thereby forming a channel in the mesh material.
