lacrosse sticks
Pouched field equipment
Lacrosse sticks are the equipment used to catch, carry, and throw the ball in lacrosse.
Each stick has a long shaft with a netted pocket at one end.
Players cradle the ball in the pocket and whip the stick forward to pass or shoot.
Men's and women's sticks differ in pocket depth and head width: She broke two lacrosse sticks this season.
