  • Patent number: 9737773
    Abstract: A telescoping golf ball tee with an internal locking mechanism is provided. The internal locking mechanism permits the golf ball tee neck to adjust to a desired height while still supporting the weight of a golf ball. Upon impact, a bowl-like member at the base of the golf ball tee neck is forced into a cavity in the golf ball tee base which, in turn, applies force to the golf ball tee neck which prevents the neck from escaping the base.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6890270
    Abstract: A golf club head includes a sole plate member composed of a first material structure having a first density. The golf club head also includes a top plate member composed of a second material structure distinct from the first material structure, the material structure of the top plate member having an overall density less than the first material structure of the sole plate member, wherein the top plate member includes at least one high density component having a density greater than the overall density of the top plate member. The high density component is positioned rearwardly along the top plate member. The golf club head also includes a face plate member composed of a material structure distinct from the first material structure, the material structure of the face plate member having a density less than the first material structure of the sole plate member. The sole plate member, the top plate member and the face plate member are secured together to form a golf club head offering improved distance.

  • Patent number: 6739984
    Abstract: A golf club head includes a sole plate member having a first material construction and a top plate member having a material construction distinct from the first material construction. The material construction of the top plate member has a density less than the first material construction of the sole plate member. The golf club head also includes a face plate member having a material construction distinct from the first material construction, wherein the material construction of the face plate member has a density less than the first material construction of the sole plate member. The sole plate member, the top plate member and the face plate member are bound together to form a golf club head offering improved distance.
