Publication number: 20180117428Abstract: A golf club head includes a club head body and a weight member that is secured to the body in a weight mount. The weight member is constructed to utilize lateral forces to couple to the head body to minimize the structure required to retain the weight member. The weight member includes a spring feature that is movably coupled to a weight body so that it is movable between a first configuration and a second configuration. In the second configuration a portion of the spring feature extends outward from a side wall of the weight body. The weight mount includes an undercut and the spring feature extends into the undercut and is partially flexed by the abutment of the spring feature and a perimeter wall of weight mount when the weight member is disposed in the weight mount.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2016Publication date: May 3, 2018Applicant: Acushnet CompanyInventors: Jonathan Hebreo, Andrew McCarthy, Noah de la Cruz, Grant M.

Patent number: 9616305Abstract: A golf club that utilizes multiple materials to achieve improved performance is disclosed herein. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method of forming golf club that utilizes different materials to construct different portions of the iron type golf club head allowing weight to be removed from portions of the golf club head that doesn't require such weighting. The current invention utilizes a lightweight material to form a blade portion of the golf club head while utilizing a standard steel material to form the hosel portion of the golf club head to allow the malleability characteristics of a golf club head to be maintained. The weight saved from the lightweight material used to create the blade portion can then be used to create a sole insert that is made out of a dense and heavy material to improve the CG and MOI characteristics of the golf club head to dramatically improve the performance of the golf club head.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2014Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: Acushnet CompanyInventors: Ronald K.
