Patent number: 12415117Abstract: A golf club head with hosel reinforcement structures arrayed around a hosel axis and extending from an inner mold line of the golf club head within a reinforcement region is disclosed herein. The reinforcement structures include ribs and scallops, which are arranged in specific positions within the reinforcement region to maximize hosel bendability without sacrificing the structural integrity of the golf club head.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2023Date of Patent: September 16, 2025Assignee: Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp.Inventors: Yaming Pan, Nathan Reed, Denver Holt, James A. Seluga, Matthew Myers

Publication number: 20250269247Abstract: A golf club head comprising a body and a hollow stiffening structure is disclosed herein. The body comprises a face section, a sole section, and a crown section, and defines a hollow interior. The hollow stiffening structure extends within the hollow interior from the crown section to the sole section to reduce stresses placed on the face section during impact with a golf ball. The hollow stiffening structure creates stiffness in a vertical, crown-sole direction of the body, while reducing stiffness in the horizontal, front-rear direction, and is filled with a weighted dampening insert that extends the entirety of the length of the stiffening structure and blocks entry into the stiffening structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2025Publication date: August 28, 2025Applicant: Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp.Inventors: Nathan Reed, James A. Seluga, Denver Holt, David Handy

Patent number: 12151144Abstract: A golf club head comprising a body and a hollow stiffening structure is disclosed herein. The body comprises a face section, a sole section, and a crown section, and defines a hollow interior. The hollow stiffening structure extends within the hollow interior from the crown section to the sole section to reduce stresses placed on the face section during impact with a golf ball. The hollow stiffening structure creates stiffness in a vertical, crown-sole direction of the body, while reducing stiffness in the horizontal, front-rear direction. These two effects combine to increase ball speed and improve other performance metrics from low center through high center ball impact locations, and simultaneously lower CT of the golf club.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2023Date of Patent: November 26, 2024Assignee: Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp.Inventors: Nathan Reed, James A.
