A ball bat includes a barrel portion, a handle portion, and a joint connecting the handle portion to the barrel portion. In some embodiments, the joint includes a releasable connector configured to releasably connect the barrel portion to the handle portion. In some embodiments, the joint includes two releasable connectors to releasably connect the barrel portion to the handle portion. The ball bat may include a flexible rod element positioned between the two releasable connectors. The rod element may include an elastomeric material. In some embodiments, the ball bat may further include a safety connector between the barrel portion and the handle portion or a releasable connector may include a threaded connection to resist release of the releasable connector. In some embodiments, the joint may include a rotatable element for adjusting flex.

Golf clubs have a primary alignment feature including a paint or masking line which delineates the transition between at least a first portion of the crown having an area of contrasting shade or color with the shade or color of the face. Some have a primary alignment feature including a paint or masking line which delineates the transition between a first portion of the crown having an area of contrasting shade or color and the area of shade or color of the face. A secondary alignment feature includes a paint or masking line that delineates the transition between the first portion of the crown having an area of contrasting shade or color with the shade or color of the face and a second portion of the crown having an area of contrasting shade or color with the shade or color of the first portion.

A golf club head is manufactured to form a cavity where the striking face of the golf club is secured to the sole and upper portion of the golf club head. A weighted composite is manipulated into a predetermined location within the cavity. The composite contains an adhesive which secures the composite within the cavity.

A putter assembly, configured to facilitate improved alignment by enabling the face angle of the putter to be properly aligned with the hole, including: (a) an elongated shaft; (b) a putter head; (c) a grip; (d) an image sensor, wherein the image sensor is associated with at least one of the putter head and the elongated shaft; (e) a display, wherein the display is in communication with the image sensor; and (f) an energy source, wherein the energy source is in electrical communication with the image sensor and the display.

Embodiments of a golf club head comprising a weight system are described herein. In some embodiments, the golf club head comprises a head body with a multi-density weight in combination with a removable weight. The multi-density weight and the removable weight act in tandem for preferred swingweighting. Other examples and related methods are also described herein.

A golf club head comprising a body and a plurality of stiffening members, the tension or compression of which can be adjusted, is disclosed herein. The body comprises a face section, a sole section, and a crown section or a return section, and also defines a hollow interior. Each of the plurality of stiffening members is at least partially disposed within the hollow interior, and extends from the crown section or return section to the sole section to reduce stresses placed on the face during impact with a golf ball. The compression or tension of the stiffening members may be adjusted to affect the stresses experienced by the golf club head upon impact with a golf ball.
