For guys Lacrosse, the ball cannot be below the sidewall at the very bottom. If it is, its illegal. So the head itself has a sidewall, and the lowest point on it is where the ball cannot below (depth-wise). Also, is you hold your stick straight up with a ball in it, and keep tilting is so the pocket would be upside down and the ball doesn't come out when its upside down, it's illegal. And if you put a ball in your pocket and tilt it so the scoop is parallel with the ground (about a 90 degree angle if touching the ground) and the ball doesn't come out then it's illegal. Also, you cannot have any rips in the mesh.

Men's lacrosse heads can be strung a variety of ways. A men's lacrosse head is usually strung with 10 diamond hard mesh. A woman's lacrosse head is strung in a way called traditional. This type of stringing is required for regulation women's lacrosse. Men's heads can be strung traditional as well as long as the pocket meets the level of regulations such as NFHS or NCAA. Women's lacrosse heads have the ability to be strung with mesh, though it will not meet women's game regulations.
