20100298062 | GOLF CLUB WITH GOLF CLUB HEAD HAVING COMPRESSIBLE V-SHAPED GROOVES - A golf club with a golf club head having compressible v-shaped grooves is presented. The club head may include a plurality of grooves formed in a striking face. In some arrangements, the grooves have a rectangular cross section. The grooves may also include a compressible insert having a v-shaped end and being formed of a material softer than that of the grooves. As the club head strikes a golf ball, the insert may compress, thereby allowing additional contact between the groove and the ball to impart spin on the ball. In an alternate arrangement, the groove may include a compressible support arranged between the insert and an end of the groove. The compressible insert may be formed of a material softer than the groove and/or the insert and is configured to compress when the club head strikes a golf ball. | 11-25-2010 |
20110009205 | GOLF CLUBS AND GOLF CLUB HEADS - Golf club heads are provided which include an iron type golf club head body including a ball striking face, a rear surface opposite the ball striking face (e.g., including a perimeter weighting member) and an weight member which is shaped and/or positioned to selectively control features of the golf club head.

20110039631 | ANGLED CONNECTION FOR GOLF CLUB HEADS AND SHAFTS - A golf club having a shaft, a club head and a connection region structure provides an angled connection of the shaft to the club head. The connection region structure includes a first end, a second end and a bore extending from the first end toward the second end. The first end has an opening to receive the distal end of the shaft. The second end is opposite to the first end and includes a mounting surface. The bore receives the distal end of the shaft and defines a longitudinal axis. The mounting surface is at a non-zero angle to a perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the bore. Further, the mounting surface abuts the first surface of a shaft-attachment structure that projects from a main body of the club head. | 02-17-2011 |
20110045920 | Golf Club With Golf Club Head Having Compressible V-Shaped Grooves - A golf club with a golf club head having compressible v-shaped grooves is presented.
