Abstract: A golf club head may include a forward portion including a striking face adapted to impact a golf ball, a first region located near a geometric center of the striking face, the first region including a first thickness, and a second region at least partially extending around the first region, the second region including a second thickness. The second thickness may be thicker than the first thickness. A width to height ratio of the striking face may be between about 1.0 and about 4.0. A golf club head may include a sole including a rear sole portion and a frontal sole portion.

Abstract: A golf club head having a slot in the sole filled with an insert in which the slot is positioned close to the striking face. The slot can be a uniform distance from the striking face or the slot can curve away from the striking face in the toe region. The insert can have a uniform height or a non-uniform height. Inserts with uniform heights can have a low height profile. Inserts with non-uniform heights can have a lower height in a central portion of the insert compared to an edge portion or a perimeter portion of the insert. The insert can also have flanges or protrusions for installation into the slot. The resulting golf club head improves performance, as the sole slot with insert allows the striking face to have a profile that meets the needs at that location.

Abstract: A golf club head with a hosel hole cover that helps improve the performance of the golf club head is disclosed. More specifically, the present invention relates to a golf club head having a hosel hole cover at a bottom portion of an interchangeable connection system that not only provides improved performance of the golf club head by strategically utilizing an existing opening to adjust the weighting of a golf club head, but it also improves the aerodynamics of the golf club head by eliminating undesirable recesses that could be detrimental to the aerodynamics of a golf club head.
