GOLF SWING TRAINING APPARATUS
A golf swing training apparatus has a shaft, a housing with a top cap and a bottom cap, and a plurality of weighted discs receivable within the housing. A golfer may adjust the weight of the head of the club by adding or removing weighted discs in the housing. The golf swing training apparatus may comprise an accelerometer within the housing so as to measure the speed, acceleration, and swing path that the club takes for feedback and analysis to improve the golfer's swing.
GOLF CLUB HEAD
A golf club head includes a weight object and a weight object receiving portion that is provided on an outer surface of the head and in which at least a part of the weight object is housed. The weight object or the weight object receiving portion includes a shape change mechanism that enables the weight object or the weight object receiving portion to change a shape of itself. The weight object receiving portion includes: a rotational force applying part that applies a rotational force on the weight object as a reaction generated when the weight object is pressed by the shape change; and a rotation prevention part that is located at a position abutting against the weight object when the rotational force is applied and that stops the weight object from being rotated by the rotational force and prevents rotation of the weight object.
Putter head and putter including such a putter head
A putter head includes a forwardly facing putting face extending in a longitudinal direction between a heel end and a toe end, and the putter head includes a front part and a rear part. The front part includes: a forward-facing surface including the putting face and a slot provided in an upwardly facing surface of the front part. The slot is configured to take up a hosel for connecting a shaft to the putter head and to arrange the hosel at different longitudinal positions between the heel end and toe end of the putter head. The slot includes a bottom surface, and a rearward-facing surface. The rear part includes an upward-facing surface having connecting means for connecting one or more weights to the rear part of the putter head at different longitudinal positions between the heel end and toe end of the putter head.
GOLF CLUB HEADS
Disclosed golf club heads include a weight channel positioned in the sole and defining a path along the sole. A weight member positioned in the weight channel can be adjusted to any of a range of selectable positions to adjust mass properties of the golf club head. A fastener secures the weight member in any of the selectable positions. The weight member can have ribbed weight projections on an inward-facing surface that engage ribbed projections of the weight channel when the fastener is tightened. A compressible spacer positioned between the weight member and the body inside the weight channel can expand to create a gap between the ribbed weight projections of the weight member and the ribbed projections of the weight channel when the fastener is loosened.
Golf club head with interior weight adjustable in multiple directions
A golf club head includes a striking face, and a body coupled to the striking face. The body includes a crown, a sole disposed in generally opposed relation to the crown, and a back extending away from the striking face. The striking face and body collectively define a hollow interior chamber. A weight is disposed entirely within the interior chamber. An adjustment mechanism is coupled to the body and the weight to enable external adjustment of the weight along three axes.

An adjustment mechanism is coupled to the body and the weight to enable external adjustment of the weight along three axes.
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.
Golf club head and golf club head structures
Golf clubs and golf club heads having a weight member that is configurable in multiple positions to alter the performance characteristics of the golf club head are presented. In some examples, the weight member may be arranged in a sole of the golf club head and may include ends having different weighting characteristics. For instance, one end may be heavier or denser than another end of the weight member. The difference in weight characteristics may be due to different materials used to form the different ends, different construction of the ends, and the like. The position of the weight member may be adjusted to alter the performance characteristics of the golf club head. For instance, the weight member may be removed and rotated to position a heavier end where a lighter end was previously positioned.

GOLF CLUB HEAD
Disclosed herein is a golf club head comprising at least one crown opening and at least one crown insert attached to the body and covering the at least one crown opening. The golf club head further comprises at least one sole opening and at least one sole insert attached to the body and covering the at least one sole opening. The golf club head additionally includes at least one weight member configured to clamp first and second ledges at selected locations along a sliding weight track. The golf club head also comprise a coefficient of restitution (COR) feature located on the sole of the golf club head. The at least one crown insert is formed from a composite material having a density between 1 g/cc and 2 g/cc. The at least one sole insert is formed from a composite material having a density between 1 g/cc and 2 g/cc.
