Abstract: A badge for a golf club head has one or more mating features configured to align the badge in a centered position within the club head. The badge can comprise two or more badge components flexibly joined together to form the badge. Additionally, or alternatively, the badge may include one or more adhesion features that increase bond area on the badge, thereby facilitating more uniform distribution of adhesive around the badge and improving bond strength between the badge and the club head.

Abstract: Iron-type golf club heads have a shortened hosel and lengthened hosel bore. The iron-type golf club head allows for a range of loft and lie adjustability post-manufacture with maintained or reduced visible surface deformation and durability loss, and also creates discretionary mass that can be placed strategically for performance benefits. Additionally, a spacer is placed in the hosel bore to suspend a suspended weight and within the hosel bore.

Abstract: A wood-type golf club head has a volume between 330 and 400 cm3, a combined MOI greater than 7000 g*cm2, and shaping which balances ground and tee performance. The club head has a large body width and a large body depth that increase MOI, and a proportionally short body height that improves the quality of ground strikes. The club head also has a heavy weight member in a rearward and soleward position to improve MOI and create a CG position that balances both ball speed off the ground and ball speed off the tee. Some embodiments have a club head CG position which favors tee performance. In said embodiments, the club head can comprise a sole slit that improves ground performance and/or performance on low strikes.

Abstract: Golf club heads with full-wrap composite regions have ribs for improving structural integrity. The ribs may include linear or arcuate segments and may be arranged in patterns to address load transfer and acoustic performance. In some embodiments, the ribs are formed on the full-wrap composite and extend continuously around an inner surface. In other embodiments, the ribs are formed on the frame.

Abstract: Golf club heads have a composite faceplate having an Impact Response Modulator disposed in the sole to improve ball flight characteristics. The Impact Response Modulator (IRM) includes a casing with a plurality of casing walls that form an aperture therebetween. The faceplate structurally reinforces the IRM by forming the casing walls out of high-strength material, thereby improving faceplate deflection while maintaining sufficient durability.

Abstract: A golf club head with a pneumatic insert is described herein. The pneumatic insert comprises a membrane enclosing a hollow chamber filled with a pressurized gas. The pneumatic insert occupies at least a portion of the club head cavity and is secured in the cavity by one or more retainers. The pneumatic insert comprises a toe side region and a heel side region connected by a flexure region. The pneumatic insert damps club head vibrations and reinforces portions of the club head, thereby improving club head sound, feel, and ball flight performance.

The iron-type golf club head allows for a range of loft and lie adjustability post-manufacture with maintained or reduced visible surface deformation and durability loss, and also creates discretionary mass that can be placed strategically for performance benefits. Additionally, an insert having weight members is coupled to a rear of the club head to facilitate swing weighting.

Abstract: Embodiments of a golf club head comprising an Impact Response Modulator disposed in the sole. The Impact Response Modulator comprises a casing with a plurality of casing walls that form an aperture therebetween. One or more portions a high-strength material component, such as a faceplate, a cartridge, or an appendage can form and reinforce one or more portions of the casing, thereby increasing strike face deflection without compromising durability.

Abstract: A multi-weight assembly for a golf club head includes a primary weight and a weighted retainer. The primary weight is inserted into a socket, which may be formed in a low-toe region of the golf club head, while the weighted retainer secures the primary weight within the socket. The primary weight and weighted retainer may be formed of different materials and/or have difference masses, thereby allowing for greater variation and range of total mass provided by the multi-weight assembly. In some examples, the primary weight provides a coarse adjustment of total mass, while the weighted retainer provides a fine adjustment of total mass.

Abstract: Described herein is a hollow body iron-type golf club head having a sole and ballast configured to relieve stress within a forward region of the sole. In a first configuration, the golf club head comprises a ballast undercut for relieving stress. In other configurations, the ballast undercut is combined with additional stress relief features, such as a cascading sole near the face sole juncture, for further reductions to face thickness. In further configurations, the ballast defines a recess for receiving a ballast weight having a density greater than the body, thereby improving mass properties of the golf club head.

Abstract: Embodiments of a stick weight assembly for use within a shaft of a golf club, wherein the shaft includes a shaft inner surface defining a shaft bore, the stick weight assembly comprising: a stick weight comprising: a rod sized for insertion into the shaft bore, the rod having a top end and a bottom end, wherein the top end defines an outer top end geometry; a disk coupled to the rod bottom end and sized to abut a tip end of the shaft; and a stick weight support comprising: a first end; a second end; a first portion having an outer surface defining a dome wherein the dome is sized for insertion into the shaft; a second portion coupled to the first portion comprises an outer surface and a plurality of ridges projecting outward from the outer surface and sized to engage the shaft inner surface; wherein the stick weight support defines a cavity extending from the second end towards the first end, wherein the cavity is configured to receive the top end of the rod.

Abstract: Embodiments of an iron-type golf club head comprising an L-shaped faceplate configured for flexibility are described herein. The L-shaped faceplate comprises a strike face portion and a sole return that wraps around a leading edge of the golf club head. In some embodiments, the L-shaped faceplate further comprises a top rail extension and a toe extension that extend to the peripheries of the golf club head. The golf club head comprises a rear body configured to receive the L-shaped faceplate to form a hollow interior cavity. The rear body comprises a sole ledge configured to receive the sole return. In some embodiments, the golf club head further comprises a weight pad that overhangs a portion of the sole return. In some embodiments, the golf club head further comprises dynamic lofting features that increase the bending in the rear body.
