Publication number: 20190151722Abstract: A golf club head with a multi-level badge is disclosed herein. More specifically, the golf club head in accordance with the present invention is an iron type golf club head with a multi-level badge that on one level contacts a rear surface of the striking face of the golf club head, and a second level of the multi-level badge contacts a rear surface of a cavity created by the chassis of the golf club head. The gap created between the striking face of the golf club head and the rear of the chassis could be filled with a fluid that has a temperature variable viscosity, providing vibration attenuation.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2019Publication date: May 23, 2019Applicant: Acushnet CompanyInventors: Oswaldo Gonzalez, Marni D. Ines, Gery M. Zimmerman
