  • Patent number: 11602677
    Abstract: A golf club head includes a body having a crown opposite a sole, a toe end opposite a heel end, a back end, and a hosel. The golf club head also includes a club face having a loft below a loft threshold in which increasing a coefficient of friction between a golf ball and the club face decreases the spin imparted on the golf ball after impact with the club face. A surface feature positioned on a portion of the club face is configured to increase the coefficient of friction between the golf ball and the club face.

  • Patent number: 11554296
    Abstract: Embodiments of golf coupling mechanisms for joining golf club heads and shafts are described herein. The golf coupling mechanism allows for adjustment of a club head loft angle, a club head lie angle, and a golf club shaft length while utilizing one club head and one shaft. In a fully extended configuration, the golf coupling mechanism includes a shaft sleeve, a removable spacer, and a removable extender, wherein a fastening assembly secures the golf coupling mechanism to the golf club head. In a contracted configuration, the golf coupling mechanism includes the shaft sleeve. The golf coupling mechanism further includes a shaft cap to soften the interaction between the shaft and the golf coupling mechanism. The golf coupling mechanism further comprises one or more arcuate coupler sets to frictionally lock the shaft relative to the golf club head.
