A golf club head includes a face portion, a plurality of score lines formed in the face portion and extending in a toe-heel direction, a plurality of convex portions formed in the face portion and extending in the toe-heel direction between the score lines adjacent to each other in a vertical direction of the face portion, and at least one concave portion formed in the face portion and extending in the toe-heel direction between the convex portions adjacent to each other in the vertical direction. A flat surface is formed between the concave portion and the convex portion adjacent to the concave portion.

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.

A golf club head includes a rear body having a crown member coupled to a sole member, and a front body coupled to the rear body to define a substantially hollow structure. The front body includes a strike face and a surrounding frame that extends rearward from a perimeter of the strike face. At least a portion of an outer wall of the club head comprises a thermoplastic composite having a plurality of lamina layers. The plurality of lamina layers include at least a fabric reinforced thermoplastic composite layer and a filled thermoplastic layer, and the fabric reinforced thermoplastic composite layer and the filled thermoplastic layer are directly bonded to each other without an intermediate adhesive.

A system including a computing device and camera is disclosed; the system configured for measuring three-dimensional attributes and associated performance measurements of a mechanical device. Some embodiments comprise a camera configured to capture images of the mechanical device and a computing device in communication with the camera. In some embodiments, the computing device is configured to access a first set of pixels associated with a first plurality of fiducials to calibrate a spatial resolution of the camera. A second image from the camera can be converted into a second set of pixels associated with each of the plurality of fiducials, which are attached to the mechanical device. The computing device can be further configured to compare the first and second set of pixels to determine the location of the plurality of fiducials on the mechanical device.

A golf club head includes a body defining an interior cavity. The body includes a sole positioned at a bottom portion of the golf club head, a crown positioned at a top portion, and a skirt positioned around a periphery between the sole and crown. The body has a forward portion and a rearward portion. The club head includes a face positioned at the forward portion of the body. The face defines a striking surface having an ideal impact location at a golf club head origin. Embodiments include club heads for a fairway wood that at least one of a high moment of inertia, a low center-of-gravity, a thin crown and a high coefficient of restitution. A sleeve for easily disconnecting a shaft to the club head allows for selective adjustment of the head's loft and lie angle.

The present invention relates to a golf club reference system having improved performance in accurate hitting of a golf ball by providing the most ideal, accurate angle of a golf club at a starting point, by matching a lie angle and a socket angle when addressing. The golf club reference system of the present invention installed on a hosel installed on a club head having a hitting surface or a shaft having a handle formed in an upper portion and connected to the hosel in an lower portion, the reference system comprising: a fixing ring surrounding the hosel or the shaft, a fixing screw shaft protruding from the fixing ring in one direction; a fixing nut fixing the fixing screw shaft; a display part connected to the fixing ring through a bridge, and a color crosshair formed on an upper portion of the display part.

An object is to provide an iron golf club head that has high drainage performance and facilitates application of backspin also in a wet state. In an iron golf club head including a plurality of scorelines in a face surface, a microgroove including at least an inclined groove is included between the scorelines, the microgroove extending in a heel leading edge-toe top edge direction to be connected to an upper scoreline.

A hollow golf club head includes a metallic front body coupled with a composite rear body. The front body includes a strike face and a surrounding frame that extends rearward from a perimeter of the strikeface. The rear body includes a crown member coupled with a sole member. The sole member has a structural layer formed from a filled thermoplastic material, while the resilient layer is bonded to the external surface of the structural layer and is formed from a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite material. The resilient layer has an opening through which a metallic weight pad at least partially extends. The weight pad is bonded to the structural layer and includes an aperture for attaching a metallic weight. The golf club head can also have one or more structural members that are upright and connect the weight pad to the crown member.

A golf club head including a club face defined by a toe end, a heel end, a top rail and a sole. The golf club head including a plurality of grooves disposed on the club face between the top rail and the sole. Each groove extends between the toe end and the heel end. Depths of the grooves vary in a direction extending between the top rail and the sole and in a direction extending between the heel end and the toe end. Widths of each of the plurality of grooves vary in a direction extending between the heel end and the toe end.

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 includes a front portion. A face portion is coupled to the front portion. The face portion includes a central strike portion and a perimeter. A plurality of projections extend from the face portion to provide a ball striking surface for impacting a golf ball. Each projection is defined by a plurality of grooves intersecting one another within the face portion. The plurality of projections are each defined by an area ratio between a base portion area and a peak portion area. The area ratios of the plurality of projections decrease from the central strike portion to the perimeter of the face portion. Other examples may be described and claimed.
