Example

[0014] The following are exemplary embodiments of the applicants' invention that describe several examples of the invention. However, it must be emphasized that these embodiments are merely exemplary of the preferred embodiments and they do not set forth all of the possible ways in which the invention may be utilized.

[0015]FIG. 1 shows an extendable lacrosse stick 10 according to the present invention. The stick has several parts to it, including the head 12, the shaft 14, butt 16 and locking / unlocking mechanism 18. The shaft 14 contains two or more telescopic shaft sections (not shown), which can slide relative to each other so that the stick length can be modified and then secured into a locked position to retain the desired length during use.

[0016] These telescopic shafts may be reinforced by ribbing, material selection (such as titanium, carbon fiber or other composition mixtures) or other structural reinforcement means. Although applicants have not currently constructed such ...

Abstract

An improved lacrosse stick design and method of using same providing, inter alia, (1) an extendable lacrosse stick, (2) a quick release head/stick design, (3) a method of changing the lacrosse stick head or stick length “on the fly” so as to avoid leaving the playing field, and (4) a method of changing a lacrosse head or stick length without the use of any tools.

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 ...
