Patent number: 10286263Abstract: The present invention relates to an iron-type golf club head having a lightweight hosel and a high, toe-ward located center of gravity. The golf club head preferably includes a hollow body with a hosel and an interior mold line that extends into the hosel and is separated from a shaft bore by a solid barrier that does not include any through-holes. An upper portion of the body may include a pocket to hold a high-density weight, and the hosel wall may include multiple through-bores to further lighten the hosel. The golf club head may also include one or more internal ribs extending from the hollow interior of the body into the interior of the hosel.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2018Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: Callaway Golf CompanyInventors: Irina Ivanova, Joshua D. Westrum, Scott R. Manwaring, Matthew T. Cackett, Brooks Roche, Bradley C. Rice, William C. Watson, Sean P. Griffin
