Aspects of the invention are directed to golf club having a crown, a sole, a face, and a face alignment feature located on the face.

Golf club heads

Disclosed golf club heads include a body defining an interior cavity, a face, a sole, a crown, and a hosel. Certain embodiments include a weight channel positioned in the sole and defining a path along the sole. Some embodiments include a weight member positioned in the weight channel that is configured to be adjusted to any of a range of selectable positions to adjust mass properties of the golf club head. A fastener may be configured to secure the weight member in any of the selectable positions, while the fastener itself, regardless of where the weight member is positioned along the path, may be secured to the body at a fixed location that is independent of the position of the weight member along the path. Additional mass elements may be added to the weight member, such as at its ends, to further adjust mass properties of the golf club head.

Described are embodiments of golf club heads having an internal cavity and features that cause the golf club head to have an improved acoustic performance when striking a golf ball. Some embodiments include one or more weight tracks and/or weight ports formed in the sole for receiving adjustable weights. The golf club heads can include one or more internal ribs, thickened wall regions, and/or posts positioned within the cavity that increase the rigidity of the club head and improve the acoustic performance of the club head when striking a ball.

Golf club head

Some disclosed golf club heads include body having at least one raised sole portion and a cantilevered ledge extending down around a perimeter of the club head below the level of the raised sole portion. Some disclosed golf club heads include one or more sole openings in the body and a sole insert that is mounted inside the body over the sole openings. The sole can include weight tracks as well, and a rear weight track can extend between a toe side sole opening and a heel side sole opening. A crown insert can also be included that is mounted over an upper opening in the body.

Disclosed golf club heads include a body defining an interior cavity, a face, a sole, a crown, and a hosel. Certain embodiments include a weight channel positioned in the sole and defining a path along the sole. Some embodiments include a weight member positioned in the weight channel that is configured to be adjusted to any of a range of selectable positions to adjust mass properties of the golf club head. A fastener may be configured to secure the weight member in any of the selectable positions, while the fastener itself, regardless of where the weight member is positioned along the path, may be secured to the body at a fixed location that is independent of the position of the weight member along the path. Additional discretionary mass elements may be added to the weight member, such as at its ends, to further adjust mass properties of the golf club head.

Golf club heads are provided with a body, a sole, a face having a variable face thickness, a crown having a crown opening with a recessed ledge, a crown insert formed from a composite material, and a hosel. A recessed port is located on the body to receive a fastening member for adjustably attaching a head-shaft connection assembly with a shaft sleeve. A forwardmost portion of the recessed ledge extends forward of a rearward-most portion of the shaft sleeve. The golf club heads have a first crown height at a face-to-crown transition region, a second crown height at a crown-to-skirt transition region, and a third crown height located rearward of the first crown height and forward of the second crown height. The third crown height is greater than both the first and second crown heights.

A golf club head is disclosed having a main body comprising a face portion, a top portion, a bottom portion opposite the top portion, a toe portion and a heel portion opposite the toe portion. The golf club head includes one or more slideably adjustable weights within one or more weight tracks and/or one or more interchangeable weights within one or more weight ports, the weights provided so as to adjust a center of gravity (CG) of the golf club head.
