  • Publication number: 20210052956
    Abstract: A multiple material golf club head made of different metals that, when combined via additive manufacturing, transmit tensile or compressive force, shear force, bending moment, and torsional moment as if the different metal parts were a single piece of material is disclosed herein. In particular, the golf club head is a putter head with a body piece made of a first metal material that is in direct contact with a face piece made of a second metal material, and applied via additive manufacturing, such that load conditions are transmissible at a boundary between these two pieces. The second metal material forms at least a portion of the striking surface and a lower region of the hosel, and the interface between the two materials is contiguous from the face to the hosel.

  • Patent number: 10441856
    Abstract: A golf club providing improved golf ball launch conditions is disclosed herein. The golf club includes a face component and a sole comprising an elongated recess disposed proximate the face component. The elongated recess preferably is tube shaped, and preferably has an opening with a smaller width than an innermost surface of the elongated recess. The elongated recess may be a separate piece that is permanently affixed within an opening in the sole. Some embodiments of the golf club also comprise a cover affixed to the sole and at least partially covering the opening of the elongated recess, while other embodiments comprise a filler material disposed within the elongated recess or between the elongated recess and an internal surface of the face.

  • Patent number: 10406407
    Abstract: A golf club head having elevated internal weighting that improves ball speed, reduces backspin, and increases launch angle is disclosed herein. In particular, the golf club head comprises a hollow body with a face, sole, and elevated weight bar, which is disposed inside the body and is fixed to heel and toe sides of the body, preferably with mechanical fasteners such as screws or bolts. The weight bar bridges a central portion of the sole, and a central section of the weight bar, which preferably comprises at least 50% of the overall mass of the weight bar, extends towards the face without actually making contact with the face. The sole also includes at least one slot extending perpendicular to the face and underneath the central section of the weight bar, the slot having a front-to-back length that is greater than a maximum front-to-back length of the weight bar.
