  • Patent number: 11602677
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20220134193
    Abstract: Some embodiments include a first golf club head and a second golf club head. The first golf club head includes a body having a face portion, and the second golf club head includes a body having a face portion. Meanwhile, the first club face portion comprises a face surface and at least one first club groove, and the second club face portion comprises a face surface and at least one second club groove. An edge radius of the first club head groove(s) can be less than an edge radius of the second club head groove(s), a base width of the first club head groove(s) can be less than a base width of the second club head groove(s), and/or a sidewall angle of the first club head groove(s) can be greater than a sidewall angle of the second club head groove(s). Other embodiments of related club heads and methods are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20210187371
    Abstract: 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.
