Abstract: A club head is configured such that the toe thickness is greater than the heel thickness in order to compensate for the toe-down look encountered, for example, in extended-length putters. In accordance with a further aspect of the present invention, the club head body in the heel region is weight-compensated to substantially balance with the toe region. In accordance with one embodiment, a bore configured to accept the shaft is provided at substantially the center of the top rail. In accordance with one embodiment, cut-out regions are provided in the back of the club head body in the toe region and the heel region to provide the required weight compensation.

Abstract: A metal wood-type golf club has a hollow body with a hosel bore disposed in the heel end. A hosel bore weight, selected from a plurality of hosel bore weights of different mass, is inserted into the bottom end of the hosel bore. Thereafter, the tip of a golf club shaft is inserted into the hosel bore and secured to the head to finish the club. The hosel bore weights preferably comprise weights of substantially identical size and shape adapted to conform to the interior surface of the bottom end of the hosel bore with the mass of the hosel bore weights being adjusted by varying their density.

Abstract: A golf putter includes a putter head having a face member, a heel end, a toe end and a rear member extending in an arcuate path from one end of the face member to the other end of the face member. First and second struts extend and are connected to the rear member and the face member while converging toward each other as they approach the face member. A third strut extends between and is connected to the rear member and the face member and lies between the first and second struts. The putter head has a width W of at least 15 centimeters and a depth D that is at least equal to ½ width W. In its preferred embodiment, the putter head has a width W of approximately 17 centimeters and a depth D of approximately 10 centimeters.

Abstract: A wood-type golf club head includes a substantially hollow body wherein the hosel is substantially isolated from the top wall of the body. The hosel is attached to the heel region of the bottom wall and extends upwardly through a hosel cavity. A hosel sleeve is preferably provided to substantially isolate the top wall of the club head body from the hosel.

Abstract: In a golf bag that includes a body with a top end and a bottom end, a throat structure is mounted in the top end of the body. The throat structure has a substantially ring shaped outer wall and a substantially ring shaped inner wall spaced inwardly from the outer wall. The inner wall defines a first compartment. First and second divider bars extend between the inner and outer walls and are arranged generally parallel to each other to define a second compartment on one side of the first compartment. Third and fourth divider bars extend between the inner and outer walls and are arranged generally parallel to each other to define a third compartment on the opposite side of the first compartment. The first compartment has a generally elliptical shape and is preferably sized to hold a plurality of golf clubs while the second and third compartments each have a generally square shape and are each preferably sized to hold a single golf club.

Abstract: A putter golf club head includes a body fitted with relatively high-density heel and toe inserts. A golf putter club head includes a body formed of a first material (e.g., titanium) having a density of approximately 3.0 g/cm3 to 7.0 g/cm3. Two cavities are formed in the body, one adjacent to the heel region of the body, and another adjacent to the toe region. Inserts are provided in each of the two cavities and are formed of a second material (e.g., tungsten) having a density ranging from approximately 15.0 g/cm3 to 20.0 g/cm3. The cavities may be configured such that they extend to (or are bounded by) the bottom surface and/or the front face of the body. In one embodiment, the body of the putter club head has an elastic modulus greater than approximately 90 GPa while the density of the insert material is greater than the density of the body material by a factor of at least 3.0.

Abstract: A golf club is comprised of a head including a hollow body having a top wall, a bottom wall, and a front wall arranged for impacting a golf ball. A bore is disposed in the head adjacent a heel end thereof behind the body front wall extending downwardly from the body top wall toward the body bottom wall. A hosel having a generally lengthwise passage is inserted into the bore. The hosel passage is oriented at a predetermined angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the bore, and a tip end of a shaft is received in the hosel passage so that the shaft is disposed at a desired orientation with respect to the head. The hosel is selected from a plurality of hosels with passages disposed at different predetermined angles relative to the bore longitudinal axis. This allows adjustment of the desired orientation of the shaft so that the golf club may be custom fit to a particular golfer.
