Multi-component golf club head
A golf club head comprising two components, wherein the first component comprise a ball striking surface, a striking face return, and a sole extension with a rear mass. And wherein the second component comprises a lower density material, comprising part of the crown and part of the sole. The first component comprises a majority of the mass of the golf club head, having a rear mass comprising 20% to 35% of the mass of the golf club head.
Golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads
Embodiments of golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads are generally described herein. In one example, a golf club head may include a body portion having an interior cavity, a front portion, a back portion, a toe portion, a heel portion, a sole portion, and a top portion. A face portion is attached to the front portion to enclose the interior cavity. The golf club head may further include a port on the body portion that is connected to the interior cavity. A first mass portion may be coupled to the body portion such that the port is configured to receive the first mass portion to close the port. A second mass portion may be coupled to the body portion and include a different material than a material of the first mass portion. The maximum width of the interior cavity may be below a horizontal midplane of the body portion and above the port. The interior cavity may be at least partially filled with a filler material from the port. The interior cavity may at least partially extend over the port at a location of the maximum width. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.
GOLF CLUB HEADS AND METHODS TO MANUFACTURE GOLF CLUB HEADS
Embodiments of golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads are generally described herein. In one example, a golf club head includes a body portion with an interior cavity, a face portion, a first port, and a second port connected to the interior cavity. The second port includes first and second openings, a second-port first portion, and a second-port second portion. The second-port first portion extends from the first opening to the second opening, and the second-port second portion extends from the second opening to the interior cavity. A portion of the interior cavity below a horizontal midplane of the body portion and between the second port and a heel portion edge of the body portion is closer to an outer surface of the back wall portion than the second opening of the second port. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.
MULTI-MATERIAL GOLF CLUB HEAD
A multi-material golf club head having an improved performance is disclosed. More specifically, the present invention relates to a multi-material golf club head having a metallic frontal striking face portion and aft body portion with a crown opening and a sole opening that are covered by a composite crown sub-shell and a composite sole sub-shell, respectively.
Systems and methods for additive manufacturing of a golf club having an insert structure
A golf club head includes a body and an insert. The body defines a top side, a toe side, and a heel side, and includes a sole extending between the toe side and the heel side at a location on the body opposite to the top side. The body defines an internal volume defined between a ball-striking face and an internal wall. The insert is arranged within the internal volume and is formed layer by layer via an additive manufacturing process. The insert includes a lattice structure arranged between a rear surface of the ball-striking face and the internal wall. The lattice structure is in engagement with the rear surface and formed integrally with the ball-striking face and the internal wall.
GOLF CLUB HEADS AND METHODS TO MANUFACTURE GOLF CLUB HEADS
Embodiments of golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads are generally described herein. In one example, a golf club head includes a body portion having a face portion with a front surface and a rear surface. A first protrusion is located at the rear surface and has a first receptacle. A second protrusion is located at the rear surface and has a second receptacle. A bridge structure extends between the first protrusion and the second protrusion. The bridge structure has a first end portion received in the first receptacle and a second end portion received in the second receptacle. The first protrusion and the second protrusion maintain the bridge structure in a compressed position. The bridge structure exerts a force against the face portion. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.
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 comprises a crown portion, a sole toe portion, and a sole heel portion. 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 HEADS AND METHODS TO MANUFACTURE GOLF CLUB HEADS
Embodiments of golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads are generally described herein. In one example, a golf club head may include a body portion with an interior cavity and face portion, and weight portion and a wall portion on a bottom portion of the body portion extending into the interior cavity. A polymer material may be in the interior cavity located between and coupled to the wall portion and the weight portion. The wall portion may be farther from the face portion than to the weight portion. The weight portion may be closer to a front portion than to a rear portion of the body portion. A distance between the weight portion and the face portion may be greater than a distance between the weight portion and the wall portion. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.
GOLF CLUB HEADS AND METHODS TO MANUFACTURE GOLF CLUB HEADS
Embodiments of golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads are generally described herein. In one example, a golf club head includes a body portion having a front portion, a rear portion, a toe portion, a heel portion, a bottom portion, an interior cavity, and a top portion having an opening to the interior cavity. The golf club head also includes a crown portion attached to the top portion and covering the opening in the top portion and enclosing the interior cavity. The crown portion may include an inner composite layer defining an inner surface of the crown portion, an outer composite layer defining an outer surface of the crown portion, and an inner crown portion layer attached to the inner surface. The inner crown portion layer is configured to dampen vibration of the golf club head. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.
Golf Clubs and Golf Club Heads
Golf clubs and/or golf club heads include a club head body defining an interior chamber, structure for engaging a shaft with the body, and/or a shaft engaged with the body. The club head body may have an overall length of at least 4.6 inches, an overall breadth of at least 4.45 inches. In other examples, the club head body may have an overall length of at least 4.6 inches and a ratio of the overall breadth dimension to the overall length dimension of 1 or less. If desired, the ratio of the head breadth to head length dimensions may be in a range from at least 0.94 to 1 or less.
