Clubheads for iron-type golf clubs include a damper positioned within a lower cavity and a weight coupled to the damper and positioned within the lower cavity, wherein the weight is spaced apart from the club head body, or “floating.” The floating weight can be fully supported by the damper and while not contacting any surface of the club head body. Such a floating weight and damper can beneficially affect mass properties of the clubhead, such as Zup, CG, and MOI, without unduly stiffening lower portions of the clubhead, thereby allowing the clubhead to have improved mass properties while maintaining desirable ball-striking properties, such as COR and CT, and also providing damping to improve sound and feel. Some clubheads can also include a dual undercut topline to reduce mass. Some clubheads can also include several raised flats on the rear of the face for improved face thickness measurements.

Embodiments of golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads are generally described herein. In one example, an iron-type golf club head may include a hollow body portion having a toe portion, a heel portion, a top portion, a sole portion, a front portion, and a back portion. The back portion may have an upper back wall, a lower back wall, and a ledge portion connecting the upper back wall to the lower back wall. The golf club head may include an interior cavity in the hollow body portion and an elastic polymer material in the interior cavity. The interior cavity may have a maximum cavity width proximate to the ledge portion. The hollow body portion may include a first port located in the upper back wall and a second port located in the lower back wall. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.

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 having an interior cavity, a face portion enclosing the interior cavity, a first mass portion and a second mass portion coupled to the body portion, a port connected to the interior cavity, and a filler material injected into the interior cavity from the port. The second mass portion includes a top portion and a bottom portion oriented relative to each other at an angle at least partially corresponding to a contour of a portion of the toe portion edge. The mass of the top portion of the second mass portion is less than the mass of the bottom portion of the second mass portion. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.

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 having a toe portion with a toe portion edge, a hosel portion, a top portion with a top portion edge, a sole portion with a sole portion edge, a front portion, a back portion with a back wall portion, and an interior cavity having a first recessed portion having a center portion of the interior cavity including a maximum width of the interior cavity, and a second recessed portion at least partially surrounding the first recessed portion and located proximate to a perimeter portion of the body portion. A first filler material is in the first recessed portion, and a second filler material is in the second recessed portion. The first filler material and at least a portion of the second filler material engage an inner surface of the back wall portion. At least one physical property of the first filler material is different from at least one physical property of the second filler material. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.

Embodiments of golf club heads with energy storage characteristics are presented herein. In some embodiments, a golf club head comprises a hollow body comprising a strikeface, a heel region, a toe region opposite the heel region, a sole, a top rail and an inflection point. The inflection point provides increase bending of the strikeface thereby providing performance enhancement over clubs without an inflection point.

Embodiments of golf club heads comprising a nanocomposite to attenuate sound of the club head are described herein. The nanocomposite comprises graphene and a polymer. The graphene can be in the form of a powder, where the graphene is suspended within the polymer. The nanocomposite can be disposed within an interior surface of the club head. The nanocomposite can be applied to selected portions of the club head such as behind the strike face. The nanocomposite comprising graphene and the polymer can provide an alternative filler material over homogenous materials to attenuate the sound to provide a pleasing sound and feel to a golfer.

Described herein is a tour iron having a golf club head with a faceplate, a body, and an insert. A sole, top rail, rear, and the faceplate enclose a cavity within the body. The cavity can house the insert. The insert can comprise a low-density material, allowing weight to be concentrated around the peripheral edge of the golf club head. The rear of the golf club head has an inflection seam running from the heel to the toe. The golf club head has an upper portion, above the inflection seam and a lower portion below the inflection seam. The lower portion can have a depth greater that the upper portion depth. The faceplate, body, and insert can be formed of different materials having different densities. The golf club head has a comparatively high moment of inertia and a low center of gravity. Other embodiments and methods are described herein.

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 a toe portion, a heel portion, a top portion, a sole portion, a back portion, and a front portion having a face portion with a face portion thickness extending between a front surface and a back surface. The body portion may be associated with a body portion volume. The golf club head may also include an interior cavity. The interior cavity may include an elastic polymer material. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.

A shim or badge is affixed to a golf cub body to produce a cap-back iron, giving the appearance of a hollow-body iron. In this way, the golf club can be manufactured with the performance benefits of a game improvement iron, while providing the appearance of a blade, player's iron, and/or a hollow-body iron. For example, by using a lightweight and rigid shim or badge to close a cavity opening and extend into the toe portion in the golf club body, the golf club head can provide increased stiffness in the topline, while lowering CG. Various shim or badge arrangements and materials can be used, and a filler material and/or damper can be included within the cavity to improve sound and feel, while minimizing loss in COR.

Embodiments of golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads are generally described herein. In one example, a method of manufacturing a golf club head may include providing a body portion having a face opening and an interior cavity. The method may include preparing a surface of the interior cavity to receive a structural adhesive by abrading the surface and cleaning the surface with a solvent. The method may include joining a face portion to the body portion to cover the face opening. The method may include introducing the structural adhesive to the interior cavity. The structural adhesive may form a solid plastic material coupled to a rear surface of the face portion and coupled to a surface of the interior cavity. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.
