Publication number: 20250090911Abstract: A golf club head having an adjustable weight system. The golf club head having a single, relatively compact slot for receiving a weight assembly. The weight assembly comprising a relatively high mass. Wherein small lateral movements of the heavy weight assembly are sufficient to shape a golfer's shot. Wherein the small movements also prevents the reduction of the total golf club head moment of inertia, thus preserving the forgiveness of the golf club when the ball is miss-hit.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 3, 2024Publication date: March 20, 2025Applicant: KARSTEN MANUFACTURING CORPORATIONInventors: Ryan Stokke, David Higdon

Patent number: 11602677Abstract: A golf club head includes a body having a crown opposite a sole, a toe end opposite a heel end, a back end, and a hosel. The golf club head also includes a club face having a loft below a loft threshold in which increasing a coefficient of friction between a golf ball and the club face decreases the spin imparted on the golf ball after impact with the club face. A surface feature positioned on a portion of the club face is configured to increase the coefficient of friction between the golf ball and the club face.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2021Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: Karsten Manufacturing CorporationInventors: Martin Jertson, Ryan Stokke, Evan Greer, Calvin Wang, Erik Henrikson
