PUTTER HEAD PROVIDED WITH INTERMEDIATE MEMBER
A putter head including a replaceable intermediate member that can be customized in size, shape, and performance according to user's preference is provided. A putter head according to an embodiment includes a front member having a shaft attachment portion and a front surface constituting a face surface, a rear member attached to a rear of the front member, and an intermediate member that is disposed between the front member and the rear member and is replaceable, and the intermediate member is selectable from a plurality of intermediate members formed in different sizes, shapes, or materials.
Grooves of golf club heads and methods to manufacture grooves of golf club heads
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.
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 may include a body portion, and an internal mass portion comprising a material having a greater density than a material of the body portion, a height in a top-to-sole direction, a depth in a front-to-back direction, and a width in a toe-to-heel direction. The distance between the internal mass portion and a toe portion edge is substantially less than the distance between the internal mass portion and a heel portion edge. The volume of the internal mass portion increases in a top-to-sole direction, and the height of the internal mass portion is greater than the width of the internal mass portion. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.
COMPOSITE PUTTER HEAD WITH HIGH MOMENT OF INERTIA
A putter is described. The putter includes a composite putter head having a high moment of inertia. The putter also includes a putter head face connected to the composite putter head. The putter further includes a hosel for mounting to a putter shaft. The putter also includes a plurality of sole weights mounted in a sole of the composite putter head.
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 Putter
A golf putter head having adjustability in weight and center of gravity. The putter head has a ball-striking front portion with a club face defining its width and height, a heal, a toe, and top and bottom surfaces defining the length of the front portion. The putter head has a front central axis extending through the center of gravity of the front portion and parallel to the top and bottom surfaces. A weight-and-balance-adjustment rear portion is connected to the front portion, which has a plurality of lengthwise-extending housings. Each housing includes an internal cavity constructed and arranged to removably contain at least one weighted slug. The putter head has a first center of gravity when the internal cavities are empty. The first center of gravity can be moved along the length, width and height of the putter by inserting weighted slugs in one or more of the cavities.
Golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads
Embodiments of golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads may include a golf club head having a body portion, a first mass portion, and a second mass portion. The first mass portion has a first mass portion first end and a first mass portion second end such that a distance between the first mass portion first end and the first mass portion second end defines a first mass portion dimension. The second mass portion includes a second mass portion first end and a second mass portion second end such that a distance between the second mass portion first end and the second mass portion second end defines a second mass portion dimension. The second mass portion dimension may be substantially greater than the first mass portion dimension, and a total mass of the second mass portion may be greater than or equal to three times a total mass of the first mass portion. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.
Golf Club Head Comprising Microspheres
A golf club head with a face component having a polymer-microsphere mixture is disclosed herein, as are methods of making face inserts with a polymer-microsphere mixture.
GROOVES OF GOLF CLUB HEADS AND METHODS TO MANUFACTURE GROOVES OF GOLF CLUB HEADS
Putter type club head with vertical groove patterns are described herein. A putter type club head comprises a putter face having a plurality of first curved grooves and a plurality of second curved grooves. The first curved grooves and the second curved grooves intersect each other at a plurality of points across the putter face. The width and depth of the first curved grooves and the second curved grooves can vary across the putter face in a direction extending from a heel end to a toe end, and/or in a direction extending from a top rail to a sole. The curved groove pattern provides consistent ball speed performance for any impact location on the putter face.
Golf Club Head With Binder Jet Printed Lattice Support Structures
Golf club components with complex structures such as lattice structures, beam structures, and complex surface-based structures, are described herein. A binder jet machine is used create complex structures within these golf club components to optimize weighting, sound, and performance of golf club heads. These components may be manufactured using a method that includes the steps of designing a golf club head component in CAD using optimization software, printing the component from a powdered material, and then removing excess powder from the component via port holes that extend into an external surface of the component and communicate with interior voids within the component.
