  • Publication number: 20230139568
    Abstract: Disclosed golf club heads include a weight channel positioned in the sole and defining a path along the sole. A weight member positioned in the weight channel can be adjusted to any of a range of selectable positions to adjust mass properties of the golf club head. A fastener secures the weight member in any of the selectable positions. The weight member can have ribbed weight projections on an inward-facing surface that engage ribbed projections of the weight channel when the fastener is tightened. A compressible spacer positioned between the weight member and the body inside the weight channel can expand to create a gap between the ribbed weight projections of the weight member and the ribbed projections of the weight channel when the fastener is loosened.
