Golf club head
Disclosed herein is an iron-type golf club head that comprises a body, made of a first material having a first density. The iron-type golf club head also comprises a weight located within the internal cavity. The iron-type golf club head further comprises a filler material that has a density no less than 0.21 g/cc. The filler material has a mass no less than 2.5 grams and no more than 8 grams. The internal cavity has an internal cavity volume ranging between 5 cc to 20 cc. A ratio of the internal cavity volume to external club head volume ranges between 0.14 and 0.385. The internal cavity has a minimum front-to-back depth above a midplane of the golf club head of no less than 1.4 mm and a maximum front-to-back depth of the internal cavity above the midplane of the golf club head is no more than 13 mm.
Club heads having reinforced club head faces and related methods
Some embodiments include club heads having reinforced club head faces. In one example, the club face comprises a reinforcement element such as a looped rib positioned on a rear surface of the club face to provide reinforcement. The club head further comprises an undercut that extends along the entire perimeter of the club face to provide increased club face bending. The combination of the reinforcement element and the undercut reinforces the club head while permitting the club face to bend. Other embodiments of related club heads and methods are also disclosed.
Golf club head
A golf club head includes a face plate including a plate front surface constituting a club face, a plate rear surface opposite the plate front surface and having an outer peripheral portion, and a plate side surface, and a head main body being provided with an opening to receive the face plate and a receiving surface formed around a periphery of the opening to support the outer peripheral portion of the plate rear surface. The receiving surface is formed with a partially interrupted discontinuity so that the outer peripheral portion has a non-supported region that is not directly supported by the head main body. A portion of the plate side surface corresponding to the non-supported region is not directly supported by the head main body. The face plate is fixed to the head main body by a plastic deformation portion of the head main body.
GOLF CLUB HEAD WITH MULTI-MATERIAL CONSTRUCTION
Embodiments of golf club heads with components composed of a metal-composite-metal construction are described herein. The metal-composite-metal construction makes up a portion of the golf club head. The metal-composite-metal construction can make up any one or combination of the following structures: faceplate, face insert, internal ribs, turbulators, crown insert, or weight channel. The composite layer of the metal-composite-metal construction is composed of reinforced fibers. The metal-composite-metal construction allows for weight savings in the golf club head while maintaining durability, strength, rigidity, and performance.
GOLF CLUB HEAD
A golf club head includes a face portion including a striking face for hitting a ball, a back face opposite the striking face, and a head outer peripheral surface extending between the striking face and the back face. The back face includes a cavity recessed on a striking face side and a frame portion extending along the head outer peripheral surface so as to surround the cavity. The frame portion is provided with at least one recess that extends along the striking face and opens to the head outer peripheral surface.
Adjustable interchangeable component golf club head
An adjustable interchangeable golf club with a faceplate-based platform to receive components for enhancing and controlling various aspects that control the golf ball flight and spin characteristics. Disclosed are components for adjusting loft and bounce angle, and interchangeable faceplate and rear flange styles. Novel milled surface roughness for enhanced spin control is disclosed along with new milling methods for achieving optimal surface roughness. Lightweight hosel and consequent redistribution of mass in club head greatly increases the inertia of the golf club. Centrally located hosel position aids in club head stability on off-center hits. This results in a golf club that hits the ball higher, straighter, longer, and with increased ball spin characteristics.
GOLF CLUB HEADS AND METHODS TO MANUFACTURE GOLF CLUB HEADS
Embodiments of golf club heads, golf clubs, and methods to manufacture golf club heads and golf clubs are generally described herein. In one example, a golf club head includes a body portion having a center cavity portion, a toe-side cavity portion, a heel-side cavity portion, a first port on the body portion connected to the toe-side cavity portion, a second port on the body portion connected to the heel-side cavity portion, a first filler material in the center cavity portion, and a second filler material in the toe-side cavity portion and the heel-side cavity portion. The toe-side cavity portion is at least partially filled with the second filler material from the first port or the second port, and heel-side cavity portion is at least partially filled with the second filler material from the first port or second port. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.
ADJUSTABLE INTERCHANGEABLE COMPONENT GOLF CLUB HEAD
A modular golf club head system provides a hosel adapter that can be attached to the club head at different rotational positions to selectively change the loft or lie angle of the club head. The club head defines a hosel ball socket, and a locator pin extends from the socket. The hosel adapter has a shaft end configured for connecting to a golf club shaft, and a distal end including a hosel ball inserted into the hosel ball socket. The hosel ball defines at least one first locator pin recess and at least one second locator pin recess. The locator pin recesses formed in said hosel ball at differing angles, wherein insertion of the locator pin into the first locator pin recess defines at least one of the loft and lie angle of the club head, and insertion of the locator pin into the second locator pin recess defines a different loft or lie angle of the club head.
Iron-type golf clubs and golf club heads
An iron-type golf club head includes a ball striking face and a rear weight member that are engaged through one or more resilient members with a connection structure that creates a mass-damping effect at impact with a golf ball.
WEDGE GOLF CLUB FITTING SYSTEM AND METHOD
A system and computer-implemented method for generating a fitting recommendation for a golf club. In an example, the method includes receiving, by a computing device, player input data; receiving, by the computing device from a launch monitor communicatively coupled to the computing device, first swing analytics for at least one golf shot of a first shot type; and based on the player input data and the first swing analytics, generating, by the computing device, the fitting recommendation comprising at least one of a bounce or a grind for the golf club.
