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 includes a hollow body portion including a material having a first density and an interior cavity. A face pocket portion may be in the first interior cavity at or proximate to the front portion of the body portion, define a second interior cavity, and at least partially enclose the first interior cavity. A face portion is coupled to the front portion to enclose the second interior cavity. A first filler material may be injected into the first interior cavity from an external port. A second filler material may fill the second interior cavity. The first filler material and the second filler material may have at least one different physical property. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.

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 top portion having a heel-side portion, a toe-side portion, and a raised central top portion with an opening. A shoulder portion extends inward toward the opening and a crown portion is attached to the shoulder portion and covers the opening. The bottom portion includes a central protrusion between a heel-side dividing plane and a toe-side dividing plane, a toe-side protrusion between the toe-side dividing plane and a toe-side bounding plane, and a heel-side protrusion between the heel-side dividing plane and a heel-side bounding plane. A distance between the toe-side dividing plane and the heel-side dividing plane is about equal to a diameter of a golf ball. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.

A golf club head including a face element having a face surface, a rear surface, and a reinforcement device with a reinforcement element that extends out from the rear surface of the face element toward a rear end and away from a front end of a golf club head. The reinforcement element includes a looped rib having an outer perimeter surface and an inner perimeter surface. The face surface is nearer to the rear surface proximal to the face center than proximal to the face perimeter. The outer perimeter surface of the reinforcement element is filleted with the rear surface.

A head for a ball striking device includes a bracing member connected to an upper sole surface located on the sole of the body opposite the bottom sole surface. The bracing member includes a first end connected to a first point on the upper sole surface, a second end connected to a second point on the upper sole surface spaced from the first point, and a bridge portion extending between the first and second ends. The bridge portion extends upward from the upper sole surface and is spaced from the upper sole surface. The bridge portion may be formed by one or more trusses, and may define a generally triangular shape in one embodiment. The first and second ends may be connected to the upper sole surface using a variety of techniques, e.g., welding or other integral joining technique, integral forming, adhesive or other bonding material, or other technique.

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 rear 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 including a radiocontrast material. 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 includes a recessed opening between a front opening and a back wall portion, a front plate portion coupled to the recessed opening to enclose a first interior cavity in the golf club head between the front plate portion and the back wall portion, a face portion coupled to a front portion to enclose a second interior cavity between the face portion and the front plate 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 filler material and the second filler material have at least one different physical property. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.

A shock absorbing structure of a racket contains: a head and an absorption member matingly contacting with an internal fence of the head. The absorption member is a hollowly tubular structure and covers the internal fence totally. When the head is made of carbon-fiber composite material, the absorption member is made of any one of Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE), Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR), rubber, Hydrogel, and Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). When the head is made of metal or aluminum alloy, the absorption member is made of any one of Thermosetting Elastomers, Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE), Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR), rubber, Hydrogel, and Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU). When the head and the absorption member are made of different materials, an amplitude of the head is different from an amplitude of the absorption member, and the head interferes the absorption member, thus absorbing vibration.
