  • GOLF CLUB HEAD WITH LOW HOSEL BORE
    Publication number: 20260137985
    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.

  • GOLF CLUB HEAD WITH COMPOSITE FACEPLATE
    Publication number: 20260084014
    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.

  • Golf club head with hosel tilt
    Patent number: 12564770
    Abstract: Some embodiments of the golf club head described herein comprise a club body, the club body having a crown opposite a sole, a toe end opposite a heel end, a club face opposite a back end, and a hosel. A hosel axis is defined by the hosel, wherein the hosel axis is oriented relative to a plane perpendicular to a surface upon which the sole rests at address to define a hosel tilt. The hosel tilt is greater than zero degrees. The club body defines a resting face angle that is open relative to an intended target line.

  • GOLF CLUB HEAD WITH LOW HOSEL BORE
    Publication number: 20250332490
    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, an insert having weight members is coupled to a rear of the club head to facilitate swing weighting.

  • GOLF CLUB HEAD WITH UNDERCUT AND INSERT
    Publication number: 20250144479
    Abstract: The invention described herein is an iron-type golf club head having a back cavity and a multi-section back cavity insert that preserves more strikeface flexibility and energy return to the golf ball. Additionally, the back cavity insert includes a damping member that mitigates undesirable vibrations produced after the golf club head impacts a golf ball. In some embodiments, the damping member includes an extension tip or arm that contacts an undercut of the golf club head.
