A golf club including at least one component with a construction that includes a composite material with color/metallic coated fibers. In some embodiments, at least a portion of an outer surface of the golf club head is defined by a layered structure including color/metallic coated fibers. The layered structure may include a non-woven composite layer comprising a plurality of unidirectional fiber composite plies and woven composite layer disposed over the non-woven fiber composite layer and including color/metallic coated fibers. In some embodiments, an optically transparent coating may be disposed over the woven composite layer. In some embodiments, the color/metallic coated fibers may be electroplated fibers.

A golf club head and golf club having a lightweight non-metallic face insert bonded in an insert opening, large head dimensions, and large face characteristics, as well as unique mass property attributes driven by relationships not often considered in conventional club head design, to achieve a resistance to squaring the club head during a golf swing that is comfortable to the novice golfer, stability during off-center impacts, and preferred launch characteristics. This is achieved in part via establishing a club head configuration and associated center of gravity location that results in a preferred magnitude of Delta1 and Delta2 values, CG angle, moments of inertia, and associated ratios, relationships, and club head mass property characteristics influenced by these variables to achieve improved performance.

A golf club shaft system and golf club shaft possessing unique characteristics including flexural and torsional rigidity profiles.

An automatic racket stringing system includes: two lens modules, respectively shooting a racket thread hole on a racket at a first preset position from different two angles, and the lens modules are based on the angles and determine a first relative coordinate of the racket line hole through a triangulation method; and a control unit controls a robotic arm to grab the racket from an initial position and move the racket to the first preset position; the control unit controls the robotic arm to a second preset position clamps a first end of a racket line, and when the first end of the racket line extends a preset length, it is cut by the robotic arm.

A grip device for a racket includes at least two externally protruding bodies, a primary body and a secondary body, extending from the outer surface of the racket handle and being located circumferentially distanced from each other. The racket handle has a central longitudinal axis A, wherein the primary body is of a quadrilateral or triangular construction.

Examples of golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads are generally described herein. In one example, a body portion of a golf club head may include a cavity having an opening and an internal structure defined by a wall portion and a base portion. A hosel portion may include an insert portion and a neck portion extending therefrom. The hosel portion may be attached to the body portion by an interference fit between the neck portion and the opening of the cavity. The insert portion may be received inside the cavity and may be spaced apart from the internal structure of the cavity. A space between the insert portion and the internal structure of the cavity may be partially or entirely filled with an adhesive to hold the hosel portion in place. Other examples may be described and claimed.

A golf club head having a hollow portion therein, the head includes a face portion, and a main body including a crown portion and a sole portion each extending backwardly from the face portion. The main body is provided with at least one slit that penetrates the main body and extends in a head-front-back direction. The at least one slit includes a pair of slit inner walls extending in the head-front-back direction and at least one joint connecting the pair of slit inner walls to each other.

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.
