Publication number: 20150051012Abstract: A golf club head is provided a weight system to adjust the center of gravity. In one embodiment, the weight system is a tube having a weight at one end that may be inserted into the golf club head to move the center of gravity at least forward and backward within 6 mm and up and down within 6 mm. Preferably, the tube is angled downward toward the face by at least 3 degrees. In another embodiment, the weight system may adjust the center of gravity of the golf club head along the x and z axis simultaneously using a weighted insert.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2014Publication date: February 19, 2015Applicant: ACUSHNET COMPANYInventors: Darryl C.

Publication number: 20150045141Abstract: A metal wood golf club with a striking face portion made from more than one material is disclosed. More specifically, due to the unique construction of the striking face portion having multiple materials, the present invention utilizes diffusion bonding, liquid interface diffusion, or even super plastic forming techniques to achieve the desirable bond between the more than one material used to form the striking face. The striking face portion is formed by adding a chip insert made from a secondary material that is different from the remainder of the striking face portion substantially near a geometric center of the striking face portion; wherein the secondary material has a higher Young's modulus than the remainder of the striking face portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2014Publication date: February 12, 2015Applicant: ACUSHNET COMPANYInventors: Mark C. Myrhum, Uday V. Deshmukh, Charles E. Golden, John Morin, Nicholas Abbruzzese, Richard L. Cleghorn, Christopher D. Harvell, Steven J. Forshner, Scott A. Knutson

Publication number: 20150000367Abstract: An improved striking face of a golf club head and a method of manufacturing thereof is disclosed herein. More specifically, the present invention discloses an improved method of stamped forging variable face geometry onto the rear surface of a striking face from a frontal portion of the striking face; wherein the improved process allows for more precise finished parts with less need for complicated machining. The resulting striking face of a golf club head comprises of a substantially planar frontal surface and a substantially non-planar rear surface, wherein the substantially non-planar rear surface is created via a stamped forging process while the substantially planar frontal surface is created via a machining process.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2014Publication date: January 1, 2015Applicant: ACUSHNET COMPANYInventors: Mark C. Myrhum, Uday V. Deshmukh
