A Lacrosse Stick is also called a crosse and is used in lacrosse sports for handling the ball and making a shot to score. It is also for passing the lacrosse ball or causing the opposing players to drop the ball. It is made from hickory trees and carries a unique shape composed of a head, roughly triangular woven in loose netting (also called pocket) to catch, pass, or shoot the ball. The shaft, which is the handle, can be of hollow metal. Women's and men's lacrosse sticks are similar but differ in pocket depth, which is much shallower in the former.
Lacrosse Sticks have a length of 40”-42” (101.6-106.7 cm) for offensive players, a length of 52”-72” (132.1-182.9 cm) for defensive players, widths between 6.5”-10” (16.5-25.4 cm), and pocket depths from 2”-2.5” (50.8-63.5 mm). The weight of a Lacrosse Stick is 5-12 oz (142-340 g).
