A ball bat includes at least one disc member in the bat barrel. The at least one disc member may include at least one solid disc member or at least one non-solid disc member with an opening, or both. The outer perimeters of the disc members may optionally be separated from the inner wall of the ball bat by a buffer layer, such as a layer of open-cell foam or adhesive. In some embodiments, the ball bat may further include at least one positioning member, such as an insulation foam member. The at least one positioning member may be located between two disc members, and multiple positioning members may optionally be arranged in alternating fashion with disc members within the bat. The at least one positioning member may be an insulation foam member having a hollow center portion.

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 hollow body portion having a front portion, a rear portion, a toe portion, a heel portion, a bottom portion, a top portion, a plurality of ports on the bottom portion and a plurality of inner support portions in the hollow body portion. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.

A sleeve fits over the barrel of a bat. The sleeve defines an opening such that, when the sleeve is applied to the bat, a significant portion of the barrel of the bat is revealed. The sleeve is made of a light-weight, sound-dampening material, such that when the batter hits a pitched ball in an area of the bat covered by the sleeve, the normal “crack” or “ping” of the ball hitting the bat is not heard. Instead, the batter hears a duller, less sharp sound, providing immediate feedback to the batter that he/she did not hit the ball in the desired area of the bat.

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 face portion, a toe portion, a top portion, a sole portion, and a back portion. The golf club head may include an interior cavity. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.

To provide a bat gripping structure that enables a batter to achieve a proper grip, a grip structure is provided in which the bat is in the “top” position during the take-back of batting, in order to accomplish the swing “to put the bat outwardly from inside” along a line of the bottom hand, a locking structure that enables a lower region (bottom grip) of the grip portion to be gripped at the grip portion of the bat under the palmar grip is employed to provide the grip structure effective to lock the palmar grip of the bottom hand, so that a proper swing to “put the bat out from inside” may be achieved and the angular velocity during the bat swinging is increased. Also, the bat structure is also provided in which by adding a weight ΔM (10˜100 gr) to the bat head H of the bat having the grip structure of the kind referred to above, the batting energy at the sweet spot is improved to enhance the impact having the maximum batting effect.

Golf club heads with cavities and inserts, and methods to manufacture golf club heads with cavities. Various embodiments include a golf club head comprising a body. The body comprises a strikeface at a front of the golf club head, a backface opposite the strikeface, a heel region, a toe region opposite the heel region, a sole, a rear portion at a rear of the golf club head, and a cavity located between the backface and the rear portion. In many embodiments, the body further comprises an insert within the cavity.

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 front portion, a first interior cavity in the body portion having a first opening in the front portion, a second interior cavity at least partially surrounded by the first interior cavity and having a second opening in the front portion, a first filler material at least partially filling the first interior cavity, and a second filler material at least partially filling the second interior cavity. The first face portion is attached to the front portion to close the first opening. The second face portion is attached to the front portion to close the second opening. The first filler material and the second filler material have at least one different physical property. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.
