Golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads
Examples of golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads are generally described herein. In one example, a body portion of a golf club head may include a cavity having an opening and an interior structure defined by a wall portion and a base portion. A hosel portion may include an insert portion and a neck portion extending therefrom. The hosel portion may be attached to the body portion by an interference fit between the neck portion and the opening of the cavity. The insert portion may be received inside the cavity and may be spaced apart from the interior structure of the cavity. A space between the insert portion and the interior structure of the cavity may be partially or entirely filled with an adhesive to hold the hosel portion in place. Other examples may be described and claimed.
GOLF CLUB HEAD HAVING A MULTI-MATERIAL FACE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE
A golf club with a multi-material face is disclosed herein. More specifically, the golf club head in accordance with the present invention has a multi-material striking face portion that is made out of a backing layer having a frontal pocket, made out of titanium, and an insert, made out of a composite material, adapted to be inserted into the frontal pocket. The frontal pocket and the insert could have complementary dovetail shaped undercut features to create a mechanical bond between these two components. The insert may be bonded to the frontal pocket using an adhesive impregnated within a glass fiber weave.
GOLF CLUB HEADS AND METHODS TO MANUFACTURE GOLF CLUB HEADS
Embodiments of golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads are generally described herein. In one example, a golf club head may include a body portion with an interior cavity and face portion, and weight portion and a wall portion on a bottom portion of the body portion extending into the interior cavity. A polymer material may be in the interior cavity located between and coupled to the wall portion and the weight portion. The wall portion may be farther from the face portion than to the weight portion. The weight portion may be closer to a front portion than to a rear portion of the body portion. A distance between the weight portion and the face portion may be greater than a distance between the weight portion and the wall portion. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.
GOLF CLUB HEADS AND METHODS TO MANUFACTURE GOLF CLUB HEADS
Embodiments of golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads are generally described herein. In one example, a golf club head includes a body portion having a front portion, a rear portion, a toe portion, a heel portion, a bottom portion, an interior cavity, and a top portion having an opening to the interior cavity. The golf club head also includes a crown portion attached to the top portion and covering the opening in the top portion and enclosing the interior cavity. The crown portion may include an inner composite layer defining an inner surface of the crown portion, an outer composite layer defining an outer surface of the crown portion, and an inner crown portion layer attached to the inner surface. The inner crown portion layer is configured to dampen vibration of the golf club head. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.
GOLF CLUB HAVING AN ADJUSTABLE WEIGHT ASSEMBLY
A golf club head includes: a body including: a striking face defining a striking face plane that is tangential to an outermost surface of the striking face; and a sole; a recessed channel formed in the body and defining a path; and a weight assembly including a weight at least partially disposed within the recessed channel and configured to be positioned in at least a first position on the path and at a second position on the path, wherein a first distance is defined by a minimum distance between the weight at the first position and the striking face plane, wherein a second distance is defined by a minimum distance between the weight at the second position and the striking face plane, and wherein the first distance and the second distance are substantially equal.
Golf club head having a magnetic adjustable weighting system
A golf club head includes a club body having a crown opposite a sole, a toe end opposite a heel end, a back end, and a hosel. A first magnet is coupled to the club body. A second magnet selectively engages the first magnet, such that in a first configuration the first and second magnets attract, and in a second configuration the first and second magnets do not attract, wherein the second magnet is configured to rotate relative to the first magnet between the first configuration and the second configuration.
Putter golf club head with elastomer fill
Embodiments of putter golf club heads with an elastomer is enclosed herein. Other embodiments and methods may be described and claimed.
Golf Clubs and Golf Club Heads
Golf clubs and/or golf club heads include a club head body defining an interior chamber, structure for engaging a shaft with the body, and/or a shaft engaged with the body. The club head body may have an overall length of at least 4.6 inches, an overall breadth of at least 4.45 inches. In other examples, the club head body may have an overall length of at least 4.6 inches and a ratio of the overall breadth dimension to the overall length dimension of 1 or less. If desired, the ratio of the head breadth to head length dimensions may be in a range from at least 0.94 to 1 or less.
Set of golf club heads and method of manufacture
A co-forged iron type golf club is disclosed. More specifically, the present invention discloses an iron type golf club head from a pre-form billet that already contains two or more materials before the actual forging process resulting in a multi-material golf club head that doesn't require any post manufacturing operations such as machining, welding, swaging, gluing, and the like. The resultant golf club head may be capable of achieving center of gravity locations previously unachievable without utilizing this co-forging technique. The resultant golf club head may be used to create a set of golf club heads with center of gravity locations that are more advantageous throughout a set of golf clubs.
IRON-TYPE GOLF CLUB HEAD
An iron-type golf club incorporating an aperture extending through the shell on the sole. The location and size of the aperture selectively increase deflection of the face.
