Abstract: A golf club head including a slot is disclosed herein. In accordance with the presently disclosed technology, the golf club head may include a striking face, a crown, a sole, and a slot. The striking face may include a lower striking face portion including a sole return, which includes a slot adjacent the leading edge. The sole may include a rear sole portion extending to the sole return.

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 including an insert is disclosed herein. In accordance with the presently disclosed technology, the golf club head may include a striking face, a crown, and a sole. The sole may include an insert opening. The golf club head may include an insert to fit into the insert opening. The insert may include a first insert comprising a core opening, and a first core insertable into the core opening.

Abstract: A golf club head including an insert is disclosed herein. In accordance with the presently disclosed technology, the golf club head may include a striking face, a crown, a sole, and an insert. The striking face may include an upper striking face portion and a lower striking face portion. The sole may include a rear sole portion, a frontal sole portion, and an opening. The frontal sole portion may include a lower frontal sole portion extending upward and an upper frontal sole portion extending diagonally. The opening may separate the frontal sole portion and the lower striking face portion.

Abstract: A golf club head having a multi-layered striking face is disclosed herein. More specifically, the golf club head in accordance with the present invention has an external frontal face layer, an internal rear face layer, and an intermediary sandwiched face layer juxtaposed between the external frontal face layer and the internal rear face layer. The intermediary sandwiched face layer may generally be made out of a high flexural modulus polymeric material.

Abstract: A golf club head with improved striking face is disclosed. More specifically, the present invention relates to a golf club head comprising multiple materials, wherein a gasket is placed in between a body portion of the golf club head and a face insert of the golf club head. The gasket being made of a different material than the body portion or the face insert. The construction providing reduced stress in the face insert, manipulation of performance characteristics, and improved sound and feel.

Abstract: A golf club head with improved striking face is disclosed. For example, the presently disclosed technology relates to a golf club head. the golf club head may include a striking face portion and a body portion. The striking face portion may include a central opening and a face insert. The face insert may include a thickened central region, located near a geometric center of the striking face portion, a central transition region extending outward radially from the thickened central region, a thinned intermediate region, extending outward radially from the central transition region, and a thickened stress reducing region, extending outward radially from the thinned intermediate region. The striking face portion may also include a thinned perimeter region, extending outward radially from the thickened stress reducing region.

Abstract: A golf club head with improved striking face is disclosed. More specifically, the presently disclosed technology relates to a golf club head wherein the striking face portion includes a central opening and a face insert to cover said central opening. The face insert includes a thickened central region, a central transition region extending outward radially from the thickened central region, a thinned intermediate region, extending outward radially from the central transition region, and a thickened stress reducing region, extending outward radially from the thinned intermediate region.
