ABSTRACT:
An improved net for covering the head of a lacrosse net. The net is formed of a flexible web made of a non-plastically deformable material having preformed interstices whose size varies in a predetermined manner. A catching or pocket region is formed in the web by having large size interstices in a region centered on the longitudinal axis of the web. The size of the interstices becomes smaller as the distance from the center region increases. When the web is attached to the head of a lacrosse stick, the center region is automatically deformed by a lacrosse ball to form a pocket. The need for a user of the stick to form or shape the pocket before using the stick is eliminated. Also, the position of the pocket with respect to the head is adjustable by moving the web longitudinally before affixing the web to the head. The depth of the pocket is adjustable by varying the amount of web material connected between side walls of the head. A throwing region in the web is formed by an area of the web having relatively small size interstices.
The web is affixed to the head in such manner that the transverse tension on the web in the throwing region is greater than the transverse tension in the catching region.
