Abstract
A lacrosse head includes a socket, a base region adjacent to the socket, and a pair of sidewalls extending from the base region to a scoop. A lower rail of each sidewall includes an open channel that is visible from an exterior of the lacrosse head. Multiple support ribs are located in each of the channels and extend from a first wall of the channel to a second wall of the channel. A ball stop extends between the sidewalls adjacent to the base region. A flexible cartridge optionally is positioned between the ball stop and the socket. The support ribs provide increased stiffness near the joint between the ball stop and the socket.
