Abstract:
Inertially tailored golf club heads. A location for a center of gravity (CG) of a golf club head and magnitudes and directions of the principal moments of inertia of the golf club head are selected, and mass is distributed within the golf club head such that the center of gravity of the golf club head is located at the selected center of gravity location, and such that the principal moments of inertia of the golf club head have the selected magnitudes and directions.
Abstract:
A golf club head having a body defining a heel, toe, top wall, sole defining a bottom wall, and a front wall defining an upwardly and rearwardly inclined front face, and comprising the body defining a forwardly extending main recess located rearwardly of the front wall; and the body also defining an undercut recess located directly rearwardly of the front wall and extending outwardly from the main recess toward one or more of the following:i) the top wallii) the bottom walliii) the toeiv) the heel;and structure on said front wall and located forwardly of the main recess for attenuating audible vibration created when a golf ball is struck by the front face.
Abstract:
A golf putter for use with a putter shaft supporting a head, the head comprising a putter body having a heel, toe, and sole defining a bottom wall, and a front wall, the body elongated between the heel and toe, and; the body having at least one recess projecting forwardly toward a plane defined by the front wall; and the body having a second recess sunk in the front wall, there being a non-metallic face plate having a periphery received in the second recess and bonded to the body.
Abstract:
A golf club head having a heel, toe, upper flange, lower flange, and a front wall defining an upwardly and rearwardly inclined front face comprising a head defining a forwardly extending main recess located rearwardly of the front wall, and between the upper and lower flanges; the upper flange having a lower surface exposed to the recess; the lower flange having an upper surface exposed to the recess; the lower and upper surfaces relatively diverging, forwardly, and toward reduced thickness portions of the flanges proximate the front wall.
Abstract:
A golf club head having a body defining a heel, toe, top wall, sole, and a front wall defining an upwardly and rearwardly inclined front face in ball-addressing position of the head, and comprisinga) said body defining a forwardly extending main recess located rearwardly of said front wall,b) and said body having upper and lower projections extending rearwardly from said front wall above and below said main recess, said projections being rearwardly elongated and said recess being horizontally elongated in said ball-addressing position of the head.
