| 20090221380 | GOLF CLUB HAVING REMOVABLE SOLE WEIGHT USING CUSTOM AND INTERCHANGEABLE PANELS - A golf club head is presented comprising a sole including a removable panel secured to the sole via a non-threaded attachment assembly. Further, the removable panel may have a large surface area relative to its thickness, resulting in a chip-like or wafer-like weight member. This design allows the mass of the removable panel to be spread substantially along the surface of the sole as opposed to in the interior of the club head. The golf club head may comprise more than one removable panel. A removable panel of the present invention may generally comprise one or more discrete areas of higher basis weight or higher density. Even further, the removable panel may generally be releasably attached via a quick disconnect mechanism that allows easy interchangeability. | 09-03-2009 |

| 20100151962 | TWO PIECE CLUB CONSTRUCTION APPARATUS AND METHOD - A method and apparatus for forming a golf club head is disclosed. The golf club head includes a first and second part, each of which may include more than one portion of the golf club head. The two parts are operatively connected using a single, continuous, non-planar weld line. Preferably, the weld line passes through a transition between the face and either the crown of the club or the sole of the club. Each portion of the club may include different percentages of the face and/or body, providing the advantage of minimizing manufacturing costs and time while controlling club head performance attributes to a higher level of precision. | 06-17-2010 |

| 20080227564 | METAL WOOD GOLF CLUB HEAD - An improved golf club head is disclosed which comprises the positioning of secondary weights at such low, rearward and outward locations that it causes an alteration in the traditional look of the club head wherein each secondary weight has a portion of the weight that bulges outwards of the natural contour of the club head. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20080268980 | Golf club head with concave insert - A hollow golf club head with a concave portion is disclosed and claimed. The club head includes a metallic portion and a light-weight portion, which may be formed of plastic, composite, or the like. The concave portion allows the club designer to make a club head having very thin portions while still maintaining the requisite structural integrity. Convex bulges may optionally be provided to house weight inserts to enhance the playing characteristics of the golf club. The metallic portion of the club head may take on the appearance of a frame, into which several light-weight inserts are positioned. These light-weight inserts may be positioned in the crown, skirt, and sole of the club head. The club head is thus contoured such that its surface area is substantially large. The club head may also be formed of a single, relatively light-weight material. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090298613 | Golf Club Head with Sound Tuning - A golf club head with sound tuning. The golf club head includes a hollow body that defines an interior cavity and at least one tuning member extends across the interior cavity. The tuning member dimensions, stiffness and dampening characteristics are selected to alter the vibration behavior of the golf club head. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20100261543 | INTERCHANGEABLE SHAFT AND CLUB HEAD CONNECTION SYSTEM - Disclosed herein is a golf club including a shaft, a club head and several devices for releasably connecting the shaft to the club head. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20110053706 | GOLF CLUB HEAD - A hollow golf club head with a concave portion is disclosed and claimed. The club head includes a metallic portion and a light-weight portion, which may be formed of plastic, composite, or the like. The concave portion allows the club designer to make a club head having very thin portions while still maintaining the requisite structural integrity. Convex bulges may optionally be provided to house weight inserts to enhance the playing characteristics of the golf club. The metallic portion of the club head may take on the appearance of a frame, into which several light-weight inserts are positioned. These light-weight inserts may be positioned in the crown, skirt, and sole of the club head. The club head may be formed by co-molding, eliminating the need for welding or adhesives, freeing mass to be used in more beneficial ways. The club head may be large to increase playability and forgiveness. The club head may include one or more light-weight inserts to manipulate the playing characteristics of the resulting golf club. These inserts may have attachment surfaces that are relatively angled such that the inserts are subjected to compressive forces rather than shear forces upon impact with a golf ball during a golf swing. | 03-03-2011 |
