A golf club head with a channel sized to receive one or more adjustable weights and an external support structure that bridges, and thereby supports, the channel without unduly interfering with weight adjustment is disclosed herein. The support structure, which includes one or more stiffening members on the exterior of the golf club head, improves the sound quality of the golf club head, and is particularly useful to attenuate the lower frequency mode shapes associated with slider channel geometry in golf club heads.

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 interior 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 interior structure of the cavity. A space between the insert portion and the interior 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 method of joining dissimilar metal, golf club components, and particularly golf club bodies, hosels, and faces, using a projection resistance welding process is disclosed herein. The method may include the step of applying an interlayer material before the projection resistance weld process occurs.

A golf club head has a body having a ball striking face, a rear opposite the ball striking face, a crown, a sole, a heel, and a toe, the body having a void defined by a peripheral edge on the sole. The body further defines a cover that extends over the void and forms at least a portion of the crown. At least a portion of the peripheral edge of the void includes a lip extending from the peripheral edge inwardly into the void. The golf club head may additionally or alternately include one or more weight receptacles connected to the sole and having an opening in the sole, such that each weight receptacle is configured to receive insertion of a weight through the opening.

A golf club head including a striking face, a periphery portion surrounding and extending rearwards from the striking face, a damping element including a front surface and a rear surface, the rear surface of the damping element opposite the front surface of the damping element, wherein the striking face comprises a first portion having a substantially constant thickness, wherein the front surface of the damping element comprises a geometric center, wherein the golf club head includes additional damping structures and materials to achieve desired acoustic characteristics.

A golf club head includes a head main body, and a toe-side component. The head main body includes a striking face, a hosel portion defining a shaft center line, and a mounting portion for mounting the toe-side component on a toe side with respect to the shaft center line. The toe-side component is fixed to the mounting portion removably. When the toe-side component is removed from the mounting portion of the head main body, a head projected area in a front view of the golf club head becomes smaller.

Examples of golf clubs and methods to manufacture golf clubs are generally described herein. In one example, a golf club may include a golf club head having a body portion and a center of gravity. A center portion of the body portion may extend from a front portion of the body portion to the rear portion of the body portion. A recess portion may be defined by the center portion. A hosel portion may extend upward from the recess portion. The hosel portion may be positioned at the center of gravity of the body portion. A shaft may be coupled to the hosel portion and extend from the hosel portion. The shaft may have a center axis that passes through the center of gravity of the golf club head. Other examples of golf club heads and methods to manufacture the same may be described and claimed.
