A golf club head includes: a body including: a striking face having a lower edge and an opposite upper edge; a sole extending from the lower edge; and a crown extending from the upper edge, wherein the striking face, the sole, and the crown, define at least part of an outer surface of the body; a recessed channel formed in the outer surface; and a weight assembly including: a weight; a cover extending at least partially over the recessed channel; and a threaded fastener configured to engage with the cover and to move the cover between a locked position and an unlocked position, wherein the weight is slidably engaged with the cover such that the weight moves with the cover between the locked position and the unlocked position, and wherein the weight assembly is configured such that the weight is slidable relative to the cover when the cover is in the unlocked position.

Golf club having an adjustable weight assembly

Golf club head

A golf club head formed of an alloy of steel that is capable of improving the center of gravity (CG) location while maintaining traditional external dimensions of the golf club head. More specifically, the golf club head in accordance with the present invention achieves a relatively low CG while maintaining traditional external dimensions by reducing the amount of mass contributed by the crown, the striking face, and the hosel, and strategically reallocating this mass within and/or proximate the sole of the golf club head.

Steel fairway wood having a low center of gravity

A golf club head includes a body including: a striking face and a sole; a recessed channel formed in the sole and having a first sidewall, wherein one or more dimples are formed in the first sidewall; a weight assembly including: a weight at least partially disposed within the recessed channel, a cover adapted to releasably secure the weight within the recessed channel, and a fastener coupling the cover to the body, wherein the cover is positionable in at least: an unlocked configuration whereby the cover is raised at least partially out of the recessed channel; and a locked configuration whereby the cover is at least partially disposed within the recessed channel and a gap between the sole and a portion of an exterior surface of the cover proximal to the first sidewall is within a range of 1.0 mm to 1.5 mm.

A golf club head includes a body having a recessed channel formed in an outer surface. A weight assembly that includes a weight at least partially disposed within the recessed channel, a cover extending at least partially over the recessed channel, and a fastener coupling the cover to the body. The fastener is adapted to retain the weight in the recessed channel only indirectly by the cover. The weight is slidably engaged with the cover and the cover is positionable in at least an unlocked configuration whereby the cover is raised at least partially out of the recessed channel and the weight is selectively slidable within the recessed channel, and a locked configuration whereby the cover is at least partially disposed within the recessed channel and the weight is secured within the recessed channel. The weight moves with the cover between the unlocked configuration and the locked configuration.

A golf club head including a crown, a sole, a hosel, a face and a flexure. The flexure provides compliance during an impact between the golf club head and a golf ball, and is tuned to vibrate, immediately after impact, at a predetermined frequency.

Golf club with flexure

A golf club head, including an adjustable weight system including a drive mechanism, a locking mechanism, and a weight, wherein the drive mechanism is rotatable about an axis of rotation, and the weight is slidable along an axis of translation, wherein the axis of rotation is perpendicular to the axis of translation at an interface of the drive mechanism and the weight, wherein the drive mechanism comprises a plurality of teeth, wherein the weight comprises a plurality of cogs, wherein the plurality of teeth of the drive mechanism engage the plurality of cogs of the weight so that rotation of the drive mechanism about an axis of rotation forces the weight to translate along the axis of translation, wherein a component of the locking mechanism translates between an unlocked position and a locked position in a direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the drive mechanism.
