Abstract: A lacrosse head includes a proximal end, a distal end, two sides and a top surface and bottom surface. The top surface undulates, extending distally from a location above the axis of elongation of the handle downward to a point where it extends at or slightly below that axis of elongation, whereupon it turns upwardly again until reaching an apex at the scoop where it turns downwardly again. The bottom surface of the head extends to a lower apex from below the axis of elongation at an angle of 5° to 20° with respect to the axis of elongation. The entirety of the scoop is above the axis of elongation of the shaft. With strings or thongs attached to the head, a lacrosse ball may be retained much higher up with respect to the axis of elongation of the shaft than is the case with prior art women's lacrosse heads.
