A multi-component lacrosse stick head, made of at least two materials, including
a base lacrosse head structure of one material and one or more overlays made of
one or more other materials strategically located on the base structure. The base
structure and overlays provide particular performance characteristics for the lacrosse
head. An embodiment of the invention includes a base lacrosse head structure, and
at least one of a ball stop overlay, a sidewall overlay, an edge overlay, a thread
opening overlay, and a scoop overlay. The overlays are affixed to the base lacrosse
head structure by, for example, insert molding, over molding, reaction injection
molding, spray application, rotational molding, dual extrusion, casting, or an
interference fit.
