Publication number: 20250010147Abstract: A golf club head includes a striking face having a face center and defining a face plane, a virtual vertical center plane perpendicular to the face plane and passing through the face center, a sole portion, a top portion, a heel portion, a toe portion, a hosel configured to receive a shaft, and a loft, L, no less than 39°. A center of gravity is spaced toe-ward from the vertical center plane by a distance, Dt, of greater than 0.0 mm. A moment of inertia, Iyy, measured about an axis extending in a heel to toe direction, parallel with a ground plane, passes through the center of gravity such that Iyy is no less than 1150 g·cm2.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 7, 2023Publication date: January 9, 2025Applicant: SUMITOMO RUBBER INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Jacob LAMBETH, Pat RIPP, Rick FILLON, Jake GRENIER

Publication number: 20240316417Abstract: A golf club head includes a loft no less than 40 degrees; a striking face; a virtual center plane that is vertical and perpendicular to a virtual striking face plane and includes a face center; a rear face; and a recess. The recess extends in a heel-to-toe direction along an upper sole surface and has a depth that varies in the heel-to-toe direction such that a first depth corresponds with a first location heel-ward of the face center and a second depth corresponds with a second location toe-ward of the face center, the first depth being no less than 10 mm and greater than the second depth by at least 5 mm. An insert is received in the recess. And a center of gravity of the golf club head is spaced no greater than 5.0 mm from the virtual center plane measured in the heel-to-toe direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2024Publication date: September 26, 2024Applicant: SUMITOMO RUBBER INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Jake GRENIER, Phillip SEAGRAM, Joseph CHEN, Dustin BREKKE

Publication number: 20230372785Abstract: A golf club head includes a center of gravity spaced less than 5 mm from a vertical center plane that is perpendicular to a striking face plane and extends through a striking face center. The golf club head also includes a first component having a first melting point and a first density and a second component having a second melting point higher than the first melting point and a second density less than the first density. And the second component (i) is at least partially encapsulated by the first component, (ii) extends into a hosel portion below a hosel bore, and (iii) has a mass less than about 5 g.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Applicant: SUMITOMO RUBBER INDUSTRIES, LTD.Inventors: Dustin BREKKE, Jacob LAMBETH, Jake GRENIER, Joseph CHEN
