Women's modern stick[edit]
In women's lacrosse, the stick dimensions are similar except the pocket depth is much shallower. NCAA rules dictate that the head of a woman's stick may be from seven to nine inches wide, and must be strung traditionally, with a pocket formed by a grid of leather strings. Nylon mesh stringing, long permitted in men's sticks, was recently allowed in women's sticks by the end of 2018. The goalkeeper's stick head may be up to 12 inches (30.5 cm) wide and is allowed to be strung with nylon mesh. Position determines the length of a women's lacrosse stick; defenders need longer sticks than attackers. Goalies in girls' lacrosse are also permitted to use sticks that are even longer than those used by field players. A women's lacrosse stick will typically range in length from 35.5 to 43.25 inches (or 90 - 110 cm). The legal depth of a women's stick pocket is determined by the following test: the top of the lacrosse ball, when placed in the pocket, must remain above the top edge of the sidewall. Women's sticks can be 35.5 to 43.25 inches (90 to 110 cm) long.

Head
The head is typically constructed from a synthetic material like fiberglass, plastic, or wood. It is typically 7-9 inches wide and screwed firmly to the shaft. The ones with "molded head lacrosse sticks" are the most well-known. Offset, non-offset, open sidewall, and closed sidewall are only a few of the choices.

Shaft
Women's lacrosse shafts also know as handles are available in a variety of materials, including wood, aluminum, plastic, composite, and alloy. When you're a professional player, you can get shafts composed of metals and composites that are lighter and more durable. Instead of a circle shaft, an octagonal one which enables the player to secure a firm grasp on the stick.

Pocket
Typically, leather or nylon thongs are used to create the pockets on women's sticks. Mesh pockets also become a new thing. The pockets are typically hung with four wide thongs that run vertically and should be intertwined with eight or twelve strings. The pocket is strengthened as a result can grip the ball.
