Patent number: 8092319Abstract: The present invention provides a novel solution to imparting backspin on high lofted golf clubs. The present invention seeks to define a class of scoreline patterns that result in a higher density of scorelines along the bottom perimeter of an iron face. This in turn, results in increased spin on a golf ball when struck low on the face.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2010Date of Patent: January 10, 2012Assignee: Callaway Golf CompanyInventors: Matthew T. Cackett, Brandon T. Vincent, Alan Hocknell

Patent number: 8016641Abstract: A method for manufacturing a golf club head having scorelines is disclosed herein. The method includes tumbling a raw cast golf club head in a tumbler containing a rough cut media. The tumbling occurs for at least six hours to create a tumbled golf cub head. The method also includes grinding the tumbled golf club head to clean a perimeter of the tumbled golf club head to create a ground golf club head. The method also includes polishing the ground golf club head to create a polished golf club head. The method also includes finishing the golf club head to create a finished golf club head.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2009Date of Patent: September 13, 2011Assignee: Callaway Golf CompanyInventors: Brandon T. Vincent, Robert S. Gonczi

Publication number: 20110165963Abstract: An iron-type golf club head with a body having a face. On the face is a plurality of grooves. The plurality of grooves has a depth of at least 0.016 inch to 0.022 inch and a width ranging from 0.021 inch to 0.027 inch. Further, each of the plurality of grooves has an edge radius ranging from 0.004 inch to 0.009 inch. Each of the plurality of grooves has a side wall angle ranging from 16 degrees to 24 degrees and each of the plurality of grooves is spaced from 0.073 inch to 0.083 inch from any other of the plurality of grooves.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2010Publication date: July 7, 2011Applicant: CALLAWAY GOLF COMPANYInventors: MATTHEW T.
