The club head may further include an upper transition region between the strike face and the crown. The upper transition region may have a plurality of apex angles progressively increasing in size from the central region of the strike face to the heel and/or toe. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090124411 | GOLF CLUB HEAD - An exemplary golf club head having additional discretionary mass may be realized by utilizing light-weight materials, an favorable average crown height, and/or articulation points. By using a preferred break length, the additional discretionary mass may be placed low and deep in the club head to improve the location of the center of gravity as well as the inertial properties. In one example, the center of gravity may be positioned to substantially align the sweet spot with the face center of the club head. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090149275 | GOLF CLUB HEAD - An exemplary golf club head having an increased amount of discretionary mass may be realized by utilizing improved drop angles, an improved average crown height, and/or articulation points. The discretionary mass may be placed low and deep in the club head to improve the location of the center of gravity as well as the inertial properties. A preferred break length may also be utilized to further improve the depth of the center of gravity. In one example, the center of gravity may be positioned to substantially align the sweet spot with the face center of the club head. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090239680 | GOLF CLUB HEAD - A hollow golf club head includes a sole, a crown, a skirt, and a striking face. The golf club includes a junction interconnecting the sole, crown, and skirt to the striking face, the junction including at least one stiffening member. | 09-24-2009 |
| 20100087272 | Golf club head having a displaced crown portion - A hollow wood-type golf club head having an increased weight budget and improved mass characteristics at minimum structural mass is disclosed. The club head has a striking face portion, a sole portion, a skirt portion, and a crown portion having a total surface area. A hosel portion joins the club head for connecting a shaft to the club head. The crown portion has a major crown portion and a minor crown portion, the major portion having greater surface area than the minor portion, and the major portion being displaced vertically lower relative to the minor crown portion. The major crown portion may have a generally concave curvature and the minor crown portion may have a generally convex curvature such that the major crown portion is in effect inverted with respect to the minor crown portion. The major crown portion may be upwardly inclined from the heel to the toe of the head. The head may exhibit a parabolic top view silhouette. | 04-08-2010 |
| 20100240475 | METHOD OF SELECTING PREFERRED CUSTOMIZED EQUIPMENT PARAMETERS FOR GOLF CLUBS - A method of selecting preferred customized equipment parameters for golf clubs, according to one or more aspects of the present invention, may comprise collecting a primary data set comprising a plurality of actual golf-equipment parameters and a plurality of actual player-skill evaluation data; providing a plurality of secondary data sets, each comprising a first subset including a plurality of reference golf-equipment parameters and a plurality of reference player-skill evaluation data, and a second subset including a plurality of potential customized golf-equipment parameters; comparing the first subset of each of the plurality of secondary data sets with a corresponding subset of the primary data set; selecting all secondary data sets wherein the first subsets match the corresponding subset of the primary data set; identifying, from the second subsets of all the secondary data sets wherein the first subsets match the corresponding subset of the primary data set, the plurality of potential customized golf-equipment parameters belonging to a specific secondary data set; and designating the plurality of potential customized equipment parameters belonging to the specific secondary data set as the plurality of preferred customized golf-equipment parameters. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20100261548 | GOLF CLUB HEAD - A hollow golf club head includes a sole, a crown, a skirt, and a striking face. The golf club includes a junction interconnecting the sole, crown, and skirt to the striking face, the junction including at least one stiffening member. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20100279788 | Golf Club Head - A golf club head according to one or more aspects of the present invention may include a heel, a toe, a crown, a sole, a strike face, and a lower transition region between the strike face and the sole. The lower transition region may have a plurality of nadir angles progressively increasing in size from the central region of the strike face to the heel and/or toe. The club head may further include an upper transition region between the strike face and the crown. The upper transition region may have a plurality of apex angles progressively increasing in size from the central region of the strike face to the heel and/or toe. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20100285902 | Golf Club Head - An exemplary golf club head having an increased amount of discretionary mass may be realized by utilizing improved drop angles, an improved average crown height, and/or articulation points. The discretionary mass may be placed low and deep in the club head to improve the location of the center of gravity as well as the inertial properties. A preferred break length may also be utilized to further improve the depth of the center of gravity. In one example, the center of gravity may be positioned to substantially align the sweet spot with the face center of the club head. | 11-11-2010 |
