Difference Between Men's & Women's Lacrosse Sticks

Lacrosse sticks vary for women and men.

An essential component of the game of Lacrosse is the Lacrosse stick. This unique stick distinguishes itself from all other sports equipment, and has many shapes and sizes. It was believed to be sacred during ancient times.

Depth

The head of a woman's Lacrosse stick is more shallow and narrow, and men's sticks have a deeper pocket.

Width

Women's Lacrosse sticks may be seven to nine inches wide, while a man's stick can be four to 10 inches wide.

Shaft

Both men's and women's sticks are available with grip, but women's sticks are also made with a rounder tip to accommodate smaller hands.

Size

Men's sticks range from 30 to 60 inches, while women's sticks have a shorter span; you can typically find women's sticks within the range of 36 to 44 inches long.

Style

One simple distinction between men's and women's Lacrosse sticks is the array of colors available to women. To add a feminine touch, ladies have the option of buying sticks that are more colorful. Men seem to have fewer style options.
