    摘要: The present invention comprises a golf club head comprising a body having a crown, a sole, a front wall and a hosel, wherein the body defines a hollow interior. The golf club head further comprises a center of gravity height adjustment assembly wherein the center of gravity height adjustment assembly is positioned within the hollow interior of the body. The products of inertia (Ixz and Iyz) of the golf club head have an absolute value below 100 g-cm2.

    摘要: A golf club head comprising a slidable weight for adjusting the location of the club head center of gravity is disclosed herein. The club head has an S-shaped channel disposed in its sole and a slidable weight assembly comprising a retention plate, at least one bolt, and a weighted base. The weighted base comprises at least one spherical portion extending from its underside to permit the slidable weight assembly to slide smoothly within the channel, which preferably has a partially tubular cross-section along a vertical Z-axis. The bolt, when tightened, reversibly fixes the slidable weight assembly to a pair of rails extending into the channel from the channel's walls.

    摘要: A golf club head comprising a slidable weight for adjusting the location of the club head center of gravity is disclosed herein. The club head has a channel disposed in its sole and a slidable weight assembly comprising a weight body and a rotatable cam portion. The channel includes a single, L-shaped rail extending upwards from a channel floor, and the slidable weight assembly is reversibly fixed to the rail when the rotatable cam portion is rotated such that a curved protrusion is disposed underneath a ledge of the L-shaped rail. The channel preferably has an S-shaped or closed loop configuration such that the club head's center of gravity can be adjusted along X (front to back) and Y (heel to toe) horizontal axes.

    摘要: An iron-type golf club head comprising a body with a striking face and a hollow cavity portion, a medallion, and a damping insert that is spaced from, and does not contact any portion of, the striking face is disclosed herein. The damping insert is trapped between the medallion and a support structure that extends from the body of the club head approximately parallel with the striking face, and is at least partially suspended over or in the cavity portion. The structure may be an elongated stiffening member that connects upper and lower portions of the body to one another, or a rectangular lip section. The damping insert is affixed to only one of the medallion and the structure with an adhesive material, and damps vibration in the striking face after the striking face makes contact with a golf ball, while the striking face is rebounding from impact.

    摘要: A golf club head with at least one cavity including a fill material comprising a polymer and a plurality of microscopic glass bubbles, and methods of manufacturing such golf club heads, are disclosed herein. In particular, the golf club head is an iron having a striking face, a rear portion, and an internal cavity disposed behind the striking face, which is at least partially filled with the fill material. The plurality of microscopic glass bubbles constitutes at 5-70% of the volume of the fill material, and more preferably approximately 20-30% of the volume of the fill material. The polymer material preferably is a polyurethane having a Poisson's ratio of 0.40-0.50. In some embodiments, the fill material takes the form a medallion affixed to a rear surface of the striking face, while in others, the fill material is injected into the internal cavity.
