Description

BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY [0001] This patent application generally relates to an improved design for a lacrosse stick and to a method of using same. More specifically, the improvement relates, inter alia, to an extendable lacrosse stick, to a quick-change head / shaft for a lacrosse stick and to a method of using those stick designs whereby the stick can be adjusted “on the fly” and / or without the use of any tools. [0002] At present, many lacrosse players play more than one position. In that situation, they often have more than one stick. For example, they may have a “long pole” for playing defense, a short “attack” stick and, possibly, even a different “middie” stick. Each of these sticks may vary in length. And, as any player or parent knows, the cost of lacrosse equipment is significant. [0003] Moreover, lacrosse sticks are often sold or “cut” in varying lengths due to the size or age of the players. For example, very young children playing lacrosse frequently cut the length of their ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0003] Moreover, lacrosse sticks are often sold or “cut” in varying lengths due to the size or age of the players. For example, very young children playing lacrosse frequently cut the length of their sticks to permit more easy handling. Thus, a six year old may have an extremely short length stick, which he will grow out of in a short period of time.

Problems solved by technology

And, as any player or parent knows, the cost of lacrosse equipment is significant.

Thus, a six year old may have an extremely short length stick, which he will grow out of in a short period of time.

In addition, because the heads of sticks are typically made of plastic and mesh / string, one or more of these portions may become broken or torn during a game.

Consequently, there is believed to be an unmet need in existing products and method of lacrosse play with respect to the foregoing points.
