Patent number: 12766375Abstract: A wood-type golf club head having a normalized impact response across the entire face of the club. Components of the club head can provide structural rigidity to the club head at rest and during low-energy impacts and provide flexure during high-energy impacts.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2023Date of Patent: October 20, 2026Assignee: Karsten Manufacturing CorporationInventors: Eric J. Morales, Lance R. White, Joshua A. Degerness, Mitchell J. Simonet

Publication number: 20260284487Abstract: Fastback iron-type golf club heads include badges with improved durability and performance. The fastback iron-type golf clubs include a rear void having two interior components, namely a cavity and a chamber, and an exterior component, namely an inset recess. The badge is configured to physically separate the cavity and the chamber while contacting a rear surface of the strike face. The badge further includes a lip that occupies the inset recess, thereby securely retaining the badge and distributing stresses while the club flexes.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2026Publication date: September 24, 2026Applicant: KARSTEN MANUFACTURING CORPORATIONInventors: Joshua A. Degerness, Evan R. Greer, Cole D. Brubaker, Robert C.T. Louth, Mitchell J. Simonet

Publication number: 20260192159Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2026Publication date: July 9, 2026Applicant: KARSTEN MANUFACTURING CORPORATIONInventors: Mitchell J. Simonet, Ryan M. Stokke
-
Publication number: 20260137985Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2026Publication date: May 21, 2026Applicant: KARSTEN MANUFACTURING CORPORATIONInventors: Mark C. Bloxham, Travis D. Milleman, Mitchell J. Simonet, Matthew T. Schier, Brooke E. Tyree, John A. Solheim

Publication number: 20260084014Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2025Publication date: March 26, 2026Applicant: KARSTEN MANUFACTURING CORPORATIONInventors: Matthew T. Schier, Eric J. Morales, Cory S. Bacon, Cole D. Brubaker, Taylor T. Morton, Mark C. Bloxham, Jesus D. Gamboa, Mitchell J. Simonet

Patent number: 12564770Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2023Date of Patent: March 3, 2026Assignee: Karsten Manufacturing CorporationInventors: Mitchell J.

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.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 9, 2025Publication date: October 30, 2025Applicant: KARSTEN MANUFACTURING CORPORATIONInventors: Mark C. Bloxham, Travis D. Milleman, Mitchell J. Simonet

Publication number: 20250144479Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2024Publication date: May 8, 2025Applicant: Karsten Manufacturing CorporationInventors: Mitchell J. Simonet, Murphy R. Alexander, Evan R. Greer
