Golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads
Examples of golf clubs and methods to manufacture golf clubs are generally described herein. In one example, a golf club may include a golf club head, a hosel portion, and a shaft. The hosel portion may be positioned rearward of a center of gravity of the body portion. The shaft portion may be coupled to the hosel portion and may have a first shaft portion and a second shaft portion. The first shaft portion may extend from the hosel portion and tilt toward the face portion with no lateral tilt toward a toe portion or a heel portion of the body portion. The second shaft portion may extend from the first shaft portion toward the heel portion and toward a face portion of the body portion. Other examples of golf club heads and methods to manufacture the same may be described and claimed.
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.

Golf clubs with adjustable loft and lie and methods of manufacturing golf clubs with adjustable loft and lie
Embodiments of putter-type golf club heads with adjustable loft and lie and methods of manufacturing of the same with adjustable loft and lie are generally described herein. These embodiments relate in particular to a putter-type club head with an adjustment portion that allows a user to change the loft and lie. The separate adjustment portions of the putter-type club head can couple the upper hosel to the body at a plurality of positions. An insert part of the adjustment portion has an upper section for receiving the upper hosel portion, a middle section, and a lower hosel portion. The sections of the adjustment portion can be coupled together by a fastener so that the sections are rotationally movable.
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 front portion. A face portion may be coupled to the front portion. The face portion may include a central strike portion and a perimeter. A plurality of projections may extend from the face portion to provide a ball striking surface for impacting a golf ball. The plurality of projections may be aligned in one or more directions across the face portion and may increase in size in one or more directions from the central strike portion to the perimeter of the face portion. Other examples and examples may be described and claimed.
GOLF CLUB HEAD WITH VERTICAL CENTER OF GRAVITY ADJUSTMENT
Golf club heads include at least one weight port situated to retain weights and positioned above an approximate club face geometric center with the club in a standard address position. One, two, or more weight ports can be located above the club face center in a club crown or other portion of a club body. Club head vertical center of gravity can be selected to compensate dynamic loft associated with locating the club head center of gravity well behind the club face. Three-dimensional adjustment of club head center of gravity is possible.

Golf club head with improved inertia performance and removable aft body coupled by snap fit connection
A golf club head that is capable improving on the inertia properties of a golf club head all while also improving the Center of Gravity (CG) location is disclosed herein. More specifically, the golf club head in accordance with the present invention achieves a relative low Moment of Inertia (MOI) about the Z-axis (MOI-Z) as well as a relatively low MOI about the Shaft-axis (MOI-SA), all combined with a high MOI about the X and Y-axis (MOI-X and MOI-Y) and maintaining a consistently and relatively low CG location measured along a direction tangent to the hosel axis along the X-Y plane (CG-B). The golf club head includes a frontal portion and a rear portion, each including one or more cantilevered extensions and one or more elongate protrusions that collectively constitute a snap fit mechanism adapted to removably couple the frontal portion to the rear portion.
