GOLF CLUB HAVING AN ADJUSTABLE WEIGHT ASSEMBLY
A golf club head includes a body including: a striking face and a sole; a recessed channel formed in the sole and having a first sidewall, wherein one or more dimples are formed in the first sidewall; a weight assembly including: a weight at least partially disposed within the recessed channel, a cover adapted to releasably secure the weight within the recessed channel, and a fastener coupling the cover to the body, wherein the cover is positionable in at least: an unlocked configuration whereby the cover is raised at least partially out of the recessed channel; and a locked configuration whereby the cover is at least partially disposed within the recessed channel and a gap between the sole and a portion of an exterior surface of the cover proximal to the first sidewall is within a range of 1.0 mm to 1.5 mm.
GOLF CLUB HAVING AN ADJUSTABLE WEIGHT ASSEMBLY
A set of golf club heads includes a first golf club head having a first loft and a second golf club head having a second loft greater than the first loft. The first golf club head includes a first striking face defining a first striking face plane and a first weight assembly including: a first weight, a first cover, and a first fastener. The second golf club head includes a second striking face defining a second striking face plane and a second weight assembly including: a second weight, a second cover, and a second fastener. The first and second fasteners are respectively controllably movable along first and second fastener axes, and a smallest angle between the second fastener axis and the second striking face plane is smaller than a smallest angle between the first fastener axis and the first striking face plane.
Bat with barrel pivot joint
A ball bat configured for impacting a ball. The ball bat extends along a longitudinal axis and includes a bat frame and a pivot joint. The bat frame includes a handle portion coupled to a barrel portion. The barrel portions has a distal region. The pivot joint is coupled to the distal region of the barrel portion. The pivot joint movably supports the barrel portion relative to the longitudinal axis such that the distal region of the barrel portion may pivot towards and away from the longitudinal axis about the pivot joint.
GOLF CLUB HAVING REMOVABLE WEIGHT
A golf club head includes a club head body and a weight member that is secured to the body. The weight member is constructed to utilize lateral forces to couple to the head body to minimize the structure required to retain the weight member, and the weight member is preferably constructed so that it has a low profile.
POWER GAP ADJUSTABLE FLEX BAT
The invention describes a bat for baseball or softball having a composite or metallic outer barrel and an insert assembly formed from composite or metallic materials and soft foam materials. The invention describes a number of embodiments of the insert assembly which may include adjustable floating or fixed power cones and adjustable sleeves, as well as a dual wall construction with the radially outer wall having an annular gap to allow limited directional flex of the radially outer wall of the insert assembly upon impact with a ball.

GOLF CLUB HEAD WITH IMPROVED INERTIA PERFORMANCE
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).
GOLF CLUB HAVING AN ADJUSTABLE WEIGHT ASSEMBLY
A golf club head includes: a body having an outer surface; a recessed channel formed in the outer surface; and a weight assembly including: a weight at least partially disposed within the recessed channel and configured to move therein, the weight including a main body and a protruding tongue, the protruding tongue including a distal tongue portion and a proximal tongue portion, a cover extending at least partially over the recessed channel, having a window cutout shaped and sized to block at least part of the distal tongue portion from moving through the window cutout, and having a slot cutout forming, together with a portion of the window cutout, an opening in the cover that is shaped and sized to allow movement of the distal tongue portion through the opening, and a slot wedge at least partially filling the slot cutout and forming a portion of the window cutout.
MULTI-COMPONENT GOLF CLUB HEAD
Embodiments of a golf club head comprising a first component and a second component that are coupled together to enclose a hollow interior are disclosed herein. The first component comprises at least a striking face, a striking face return, and a rear extension. In some embodiments, the first component also comprises a weight channel at a rear end and one or more braces that attach to the striking face return and the rear extension. The second component component comprises a crown portion, a sole toe portion, and a sole heel portion. The second component is two separate portions. The density of the second component is less than the density of the first component. In some embodiments, the first component mass is 85% to 96% of a mass of the golf club head.
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.
