Description
- The present application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/266,745, filed Dec. 4, 2009, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- The present invention relates to a lacrosse stick and, more particularly, to a lacrosse head having a unique sidewall and throat construction that provides improved ball handling performance and reduced weight.
- Conventional lacrosse sticks generally comprise a tubular metal shaft and a molded high density composite plastic head. The tubular metal shaft and head arrangement has been in existence since at least the mid 1970's; see for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,037,841, entitled L
ACROSSE STICK HAVING TUBULAR METALLIC HANDLE , issued Jul. 26, 1977, incorporated herein by reference.FIG. 1 shows aconventional lacrosse stick 100 having aconventional metal shaft 102 and aconventional head 104. Shaft 102 further has abutt end portion 106 and ahead end portion 108.Head 104 includes abase 110,divergent sidewalls 112, and alip 114. - Extending from
base 110 is ashaft junction projection 116 that comprises afemale socket 118 that is sized and configured to receivehead end portion 108. Frequently,shaft 102 andhead 104 are secured together using a pin or screw extending through both the shaft and head and secured using another pin or nut, not specifically shown, but generally known in the art. Also, as known in the art, the shaft may be pressed and/or glued intosocket 118. - Despite advances in conventional lacrosse stick head design, some head designs inherently induce undesirable ball handling characteristics. For example, as can be appreciated with reference to
FIG. 1 , the diverging sidewall design of many conventional lacrosse heads has the undesirable effect of trapping the ball. Thedivergent sidewalls 112 have a tendency to wedgeball 20 therebetween. This tendency to wedge the ball can interrupt the desired release of the ball from the head, thus, interfering with the player's ability to quickly and accurately launch the ball fromhead 104. - Lacrosse stick heads are often molded from a plastic or composite material. In high-volume manufacturing, particularly plastics molding, it is well known that even minor reductions in material volume can have a large cost savings effect when applied over a large production run. Another drawback of conventional lacrosse head designs, such as
head 104, is that thebase 110 often uses a relatively large volume of plastic to provide a proper interface between thestick 102 andhead 104. This large volume of plastic adds to the overall weight of the lacrosse stick. - Accordingly, there remains a need for improvement in the design of lacrosse heads to improve ball release characteristics of the head as well as to reduce weight and reduce material costs in the manufacturing of the lacrosse stick head.
- Provided herein is a lacrosse head comprising a base that includes a socket and a ball stop. In an embodiment, the shaft socket extends through the base portion. The base portion may also include at least one open region to reduce material usage and reduce the weight of the head.
- A pair of divergent arms extend from the base portion and a sidewall extends from each of the divergent arms at a corresponding junction. The junction between each divergent arm and its associated sidewall forms a discontinuity to help reduce the tendency of the head to wedge a lacrosse ball in the throat region of the head. The pair of divergent arms extend away from one another at an angle between 75 and 105 degrees and the sidewalls diverge away from one another at an angle between 0 and 10 degrees. A lip extends transversely between the sidewalls. The lacrosse head may include a net attached to the sidewalls.
- The lacrosse head may include a rim that extends around a scoop region and a throat region of the lacrosse head. In an embodiment, the rim joins the base portion on either side of the ball stop. The rim may join the base portion at a location aligned approximately with a centerline of the shaft socket.
- The ball stop protrudes into the throat region between the divergent arms in order to help prevent the ball from being wedged in the throat region. In an embodiment, the base portion includes the ball stop, wherein the ball stop is in the form of a convex protrusion.
- It is contemplated that the lacrosse head may comprise a base portion including a shaft socket that extends through the base portion and a rim extending around a scoop region and a throat region of the lacrosse head. The rim includes a lip that defines a portion of the scoop region. A ball stop protrudes from the base portion into the throat region. In this case, the ball stop comprises a shaft portion extending from the shaft socket into the'throat region.
- A lacrosse stick is also contemplated that includes a lacrosse head and a shaft. The head including a base portion with a shaft socket and a shaft extending into the shaft socket. In an embodiment, the shaft socket extends through the base portion. In such case, the shaft may extend through the shaft socket, wherein the ball stop is an end portion of the shaft.
- The foregoing and other features, utilities, and advantages of the disclosed lacrosse stick will be apparent from the following more particular description of the preferred embodiments as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
-
FIG. 1 illustrates a conventional tubular lacrosse shaft and mating head; -
FIG. 2 is a top plan view of a lacrosse head according to a first exemplary embodiment; -
FIG. 3 is a side view of the lacrosse head shown inFIG. 2 ; -
FIG. 4 is a top plan view of a lacrosse head according to a second exemplary embodiment; -
FIG. 5 is a side view of the lacrosse head shown inFIG. 4 . -
FIG. 6 is a top plan view of a lacrosse head according to a third exemplary embodiment; and -
FIG. 7 is a side view of the lacrosse head shown inFIG. 6 . - Described herein is a lacrosse stick having a unique head design with improved ball release characteristics as well as reduced material requirements for manufacturing the head.
FIGS. 2 and 3 show alacrosse stick 200 according to a first exemplary embodiment.Stick 200 includes ahead 204 and ashaft 202.Head 204 includesbase portion 210, which includes afemale socket 218 that is sized and configured to receiveshaft 202. In this case,shaft 202 has an octagonal cross-section; however,shaft 202 may have other suitable cross-sections, including but not limited to round, square, oval, and the like.Shaft 202 may comprise materials known in the art, including for example, metal tubing, composite materials, and the like. Also,base portion 210 may include a male protrusion instead of afemale socket 218. In this case,shaft 202 would have a female socket. -
Head 204 extends around ascoop region 215 and athroat region 211.Divergent arms 206 extend away from one another at an angle “a”, which may be any angle greater than about 45 degrees but is preferably between 75 and 105 degrees. As can be appreciated in the figure,divergent arms 206 are disposed on either side of aconvex ball stop 203.Elongated sidewalls 212 extend arcuately fromarms 206 and connect withtransverse lip 214 that extends betweensidewalls 212.Head 204 includes a number of holes 209 (of which only some are shown), to which a lacrosse net (not specifically shown) may be attached in a conventional manner. - The junction between each
divergent arm 206 and its associatedsidewall 212 preferably creates adiscontinuity 205 in the otherwise arcuate configuration of the lacrosse head frame. As shown inFIG. 2 ,sidewalls 212 initially extend fromdiscontinuities 205 in approximately parallel relation to one another before arcuately extending aroundscoop region 215 to meetlip 214. Thesidewalls 212 may initially be parallel to each other or diverge at a slight angle “b”. For instance, angle “b” may range from 0 to 10 degrees, preferably. Also, sidewalls 212 are spaced apart a minimum distance “X”. Minimum distance “X” should be at least slightly greater than the diameter ofball 20, which is approximately 2.5 inches. - In order to reduce material costs associated with
manufacturing head 204,base portion 210 includesopen regions 219 and 217 (seeFIG. 3 ), thereby reducing the amount of material used in what is traditionally a material dense portion of a lacrosse head. Furthermore,socket 218 extends through theentire base 210, thereby removing additional material. The removal of material throughopen regions socket 218 tends to reduce the weight ofhead 204.Head 204 may be comprised of plastic, composite materials, or other suitable materials as is known in the art. Efforts to reduce material use are particularly relevant where composite materials such as carbon fiber are used, as they may be relatively expensive. - Having described the construction of this unique lacrosse head, it can be appreciated that the ball handling characteristics resulting from this design are improved over traditional designs. Specifically, when
ball 20 comes to rest inthroat region 211, it will rest on convex ball stop 203 and at least one of the divergingarms 206. As a result, the transition, ordiscontinuity 205, fromparallel sidewalls 112 to divergingarms 206 is below the diameter of theball 20. Accordingly, both convex ball stop 203 anddivergent arms 206 help preventball 20 from being wedged intoregion 211. Also, because sidewalls 212 are spaced apart a minimum distance that is slightly greater than the diameter ofball 20,ball 20 may pass unimpeded fromthroat region 211 intoscoop region 215. -
FIGS. 4 and 5 illustrate a second exemplary embodiment of alacrosse stick 300 that is similar to the first exemplary embodiment shown inFIGS. 2 and 3 . Accordingly,lacrosse stick 300 includeshead 304 andshaft 302. As in the first embodiment,head 304 includesbase portion 310 with asocket 318 for receivingshaft 302.Head 304 also includes divergingarms 306 witharcuate sidewalls 312 extending therefrom, which in turn jointransverse lip 314.Base portion 310 also includes aconvex ball stop 303. - In this embodiment, however,
head 304 includessidewalls 312 which haveupper rim 307 surrounding thescoop region 315 andthroat region 311.Rim 307 joinsbase 310 on either side of ball stop 303 and is aligned or slightly above the centerline of theshaft socket 318 as shown inFIG. 5 . In addition to the material savings afforded byopenings head 304. -
FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate a third exemplary embodiment of alacrosse stick 400 that is similar to the embodiment shown inFIGS. 4 and 5 .Lacrosse stick 400 includeshead 404 andshaft 402.Head 404 surroundsscoop region 415 andthroat region 411. In thisembodiment base portion 410 includes asocket 418 that extends through the base.Shaft 402 extends throughsocket 418 and partially intothroat region 411 such thatend 403 functions as a ball stop. Using the end ofshaft 402 as the ball stop reduces the amount of material necessary to formhead 404. In order to further reduce the amount of material used in the head, surroundingrim 407 does not extend all the way tobase portion 410 as in the previous embodiments. Instead, surroundingrim 407 connects with divergingarms 406 prior to reaching the base portion, as shown inFIG. 7 . - Accordingly, the disclosed lacrosse stick and lacrosse head have been described with some degree of particularity directed to certain exemplary embodiments. It should be appreciated, though, that the technology of the present application is defined by the following claims construed in light of the prior art so that certain changes, modifications, permutations, additions, and sub-combinations may be made to the exemplary embodiments without departing from the inventive concepts contained herein.
