Patent number: 12569725Abstract: An iron-type golf club head with a hosel, a hosel bore, and an exit channel in communication with the hosel bore that is offset from and extends at an angle of up to 15 degrees with respect to the hosel bore is disclosed herein. The exit channel does not extend into the face or sole of the golf club head, thereby preserving the structural integrity and aesthetics of the golf club while permitting the use of adjustable hosel features that allow for easy adjustments to the loft and lie of the club head. This feature may be used in connection with any type of irons, including wedges.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2022Date of Patent: March 10, 2026Assignee: Callaway Golf CompanyInventors: Alex Power, Joshua D. Westrum, Matthew Myers, Patrick C. Davis, Scott Manwaring

Patent number: 12515110Abstract: A method for transient liquid phase bonding golf club head components is disclosed herein. Golf club components composed of dissimilar materials are joined using transient liquid phase bonding. One embodiment of the transient liquid phase bonding process joins a steel component to titanium component using a pure copper interlayer heated between the temperature of 870° C. to 1085° C. The interaction between the titanium and the copper forms a eutectic below the melt temperature of pure copper, transitions to a liquid phase, and joins the titanium component to the steel component upon cooling.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2025Date of Patent: January 6, 2026Assignee: Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp.Inventors: Alex Power, Danielle Reyes, Scott Manwaring, William Mellor
