Embodiments provide a lacrosse head with an enhanced pocket channel and sweet spot. The head includes first and second tabs protruding rearwardly from the rearward face of the transverse wall, with the transverse wall defining at least one inner pocket member opening disposed between first and second outer pocket member openings on the respective tabs. A first rearwardmost pocket-supporting edge of the first tab, a second rearwardmost pocket-supporting edge of the at least one inner pocket member opening, and a third rearwardmost pocket-supporting edge of the second tab may lie on an arc shape that is more curved than the curved shape of the transverse wall, to provide a cylindrically-shaped pocket channel. Each sidewall may have a rearward lower edge portion that extends generally parallel to the horizontal centerline and an intermediate lower edge portion that rapidly descends to a lowest point, to enhance the sweet spot of the head.
