Publication number: 20150026948Abstract: 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: ApplicationFiled: October 10, 2014Publication date: January 29, 2015Applicant: Acushnet CompanyInventors: Ronald K. Hettinger, Uday V. Deshmukh, Keisuke Yamane, Jonathan Hebreo
