Abstract

A head for a lacrosse stick includes a socket defining a female aperture for receiving a lacrosse shaft. The socket and the lacrosse stick being longitudinally aligned along a stick axis in a throat region. A head member is connected to the socket member and defines a number of holes therethrough for attachment of flexible pocket material thereto. The head includes a front open end with a front edge and a closed rear end with a rear edge and defining a head axis longitudinally through a center axis of the frame member. The head is configured with a reverse offset where the head axis is closer to the front open end than the stick axis. As result, saves are made sooner, increased stick face at throat area, improved balancing and increased head bending stiffness is achieved.
