Abstract: A lacelock for a lacrosse stick head generally comprising a mechanical device affixed to a lacrosse head frame which interacts with one or more of the thongs and/or netting materials of the lacrosse head to securely hold the thongs or netting materials at a desired tension and to enable a person to readily release and adjust the tension of the thongs and/or netting materials as desired and relock into place.

Abstract: A lacrosse stick head generally comprising a frame and netting wherein the frame comprises sidewalls having an upper edge and a lower edge, wherein the upper edge of the sidewalls are provided with a plurality of netting holes through which the netting is attached to the frame and a method for stringing the lacrosse stick head.

Abstract: A women's lacrosse stick head generally comprising a frame and netting wherein the frame comprises a throat portion, sidewalls diverging from the throat portion, and a lip portion joining the sidewalls distal from the throat portion, wherein the sidewalls have a bottom edge provided with a plurality of concavities and apices, including a notchback area proximate to the throat portion to create a pocket, yet enabling a lacrosse ball to clear the top edge of the sidewalls.

Abstract: A lacrosse stick is provided having improved playability characteristics. The lacrosse stick involves a specified relationshp between the plane defined by the uppermost surface of the stick element relative to the location of the center of gravity of the head frame.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a lacrosse stick construction and a head frame therefor having improved playability characteristics. The lacrosse stick involves a specified relationship between the plane defined by the uppermost surface of the stick element, taken at its forward end, relative to the location of the center of gravity of the head.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a dynamically interactive combination of a shoe and an externally adjustable internal orthotic foot cradle formed of a fabric strap material. The disclosed combination attenuates and beneficially disperses the deforming forces experienced by the foot in weight bearing, limits the extent of pronation and excursions of the various joints of the mid and hind foot during weight bearing and the cradle can store mechanical energy absorbed during weight bearing and return at least a portion of such stored energy in the form of restorative forces applied to the mid and hind foot during the non-weight bearing phase of the gait cycle.

Abstract: A lacrosse stick head frame is disclosed having improved side wall lace mounting tabs from which a ball pocket is suspended in a precisely tunable and stable manner. The tabs include features which protect the side wall lace from ball contact abrasion and wear as well as precisely locating and securing the side wall lace and the ball pocket suspended therefrom to the frame.

Abstract: A shoulder pad/chest protector combination is provided for use in lacrosse or other sports in which the individual's arm is raised above shoulder level. The shoulder pad is pivoted to the chest protector by a lacing arrangement and is adjustable down the length of the arm by adjustment of the pivot point on the chest protector, with the shoulder pad being made to pivot with the arm by strapping the distal end of the pad to the arm. In one embodiment, the pivotal motion is provided by virtue of the twisting of the laces between the chest protector portion and the overlying shoulder pad. In another embodiment the shoulder pad includes a cuff for securing the distal end thereof to the arm of the individual. In one embodiment, lateral adjustment of the pivot point is made possible by providing laterally running lacing apertures at the top of the chest protector over the shoulder, with the lace passing through two apertures in the chest protector and four apertures in the shoulder pad.

Abstract: A lacrosse stick head comprising a frame and netting attached to the frame, the frame comprising a throat portion, a side wall extending from the throat portion, and a lip portion joined to an end of the side wall remote from the throat portion, the netting being configured to define a ball pocket, and a rib on interior wall portions of the side wall and extending inwardly to overlie marginal portions of the netting.

Abstract: A lacrosse stick head comprising a frame and netting attached to the frame, the frame comprising a throat wall, a side wall extending from the throat wall, and a lip portion joined to an end of the side wall, the netting being configured to define a ball pocket, a rib on the throat wall extending inwardly therefrom, and a ball stop member secured to said throat wall with an edge of said ball stop member adjacent said rib.

Abstract: A lacrosse stick head comprising a frame and netting attached to the frame, the frame including a throat portion, first and second side walls extending divergently from the throat portion, and a lip portion joined to ends of the side walls remote from the throat portion, the first side wall having structure rendering the first side wall substantially more rigid than the second side wall.

Abstract: A lacrosse stick head comprising a frame and netting attached to the frame, the frame including a pair of side walls and a lip portion joined to ends of the side walls, upper edges of the side walls defining an upper edge plane, the lip portion comprising a wall having a centerline plane intersecting the side wall upper edge plane at an acute angle, the lip portion wall having an upper edge midpoint removed from the side wall upper edge plane, and segments of the lip portion wall between the lip portion midpoint and the side walls being curved.

Abstract: A lacrosse stick head in which the frame and netting are so configured as to provide a ball pocket spaced from the throat portion of the head. The side walls of the frame have a bottom edge extending outwardly to define a bulge in the bottom of the side walls about midway of the length of the side walls. The ball pocket of the netting is disposed generally alongside and beneath the bulge and generally midway between the side walls.
