Abstract: A lacrosse head having a frame and an articulated member moveably coupled to the frame. In one embodiment, a lacrosse head includes a stop member; a first sidewall connected to the stop member; a second sidewall connected to the stop member opposite the first sidewall; and a scoop connected to the first sidewall and the second sidewall opposite the stop member, wherein the first sidewall includes a first member integrally connected to the stop member and the scoop, and a second member moveably coupled to the first member. The second member can include pocket thread openings for attaching a pocket to the head. The lacrosse head can also include a stiffening member attached to the scoop and a sidewall of the frame, and a collared male plug for joining the frame to a hollow shaft.

Abstract: A lacrosse head having protrusions on its top and/or bottom edges, which improve ball control. Preferably, the protrusions on the top edge protrude toward the interior of the lacrosse head and the protrusions on the bottom edge protrude away from the interior of the lacrosse head. In a further embodiment, the lacrosse head has a top protrusion disposed on the top edge of a sidewall, and a bottom protrusion on disposed on the bottom edge of the sidewall, such that any height of the lacrosse head frame, inclusive of the top protrusion and the bottom protrusion, does not exceed a specified sidewall height, even though the sum of the height of the sidewall, the height of the top protrusion, and the height of the bottom protrusion, measured separately and nonlinearly, exceed the specified sidewall height.
