Publication number: 20230293956Abstract: This invention maximizes the distribution of mass of the club head to the front and back of the club head to maximize the sweetspot vertically. Mass is concentrated in front and back bars. Mass is minimized in between the bars by use of light weight tubes, one at the heel and one at the toe, that connect the front and back bars to each other. A screw inside each tube cinches the bars against the tubes. A hosel is on the heel tube. The lie of the club is adjustable by loosening the heel side cinching screw which allows the heel tube to turn against the bars. Forward press is adjustable by loosening set screws and turning the bent golf shaft in the hosel. Weights can be added and removed within the tubes to adjust the club head weight.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventor: Steven Ken Long
