Lacrosse stick

Abstract

A lacrosse stick has one or more handle features, such as one or more rotating sleeves and/or one or more angular bends. The rotating sleeves may be passive (powered by the user's articulation) or powered to assist in motion. The rotating sleeves may be freely rotating and/or ratcheted and may permit full rotation or may limit rotation to a particular degree. The angular bends may include one or more bends, offering the user the ability to manipulate and rotate the lacrosse stick handle in multiple directions using a cranking type motion.

1 . A lacrosse stick comprising:
 a stick portion having one or more handle features, wherein the one or more handle features includes one or more angular bends, one or more sleeves, or a combination thereof, wherein the one or more sleeves permit rotation of the stick portion relative to the one or more sleeves.
