Abstract:
A golf club having a head and a shaft defining an axis, the head having a heel, a toe, a top, and a bottom, an improved connection of the shaft to the head comprising a socket associated with the head, the socket having inner wall structure extending in the direction of the axis, and with annular wall portions relatively angled at axially successive locations in the direction, at least one of the wall portions providing a locally camming surface; the shaft having a lower end portion forcibly received endwise into the socket, and collapsed at least in part toward the axis in response to the forcible reception of the shaft lower end portion into the socket, and against the camming surface; the wall structure forming with the shaft lower end portion a clearance axially offset from-the camming surface for reception of adhesive to contact the shaft lower end portion and to cure and adhere the shaft lower end portion to the wall structure.
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 and rear face, 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 rear face and extending outwardly from the main recess toward the top wall and toward the bottom wall, adjacent the rear face, the rear face having a slant height dimension D.sub.1 between uppermost and lowermost extents of the undercut recess in a vertical plane, and the front wall having a slant height dimension D.sub.2 between uppermost and lowermost extents thereof in the plane, where:90
Abstract:
A metallic, golf club head having a hollow interior, comprising a ball-striking front wall and the head having walls at the top, bottom, rear, heel and toe of the head; the front wall having variable thickness.
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 at least three of the following:i) the top wallii) the bottom walliii) the toeiv) the heel;the body having at least one elongated slit therein extending generally parallel to the front face and spaced rearwardly therefrom, the slit intersecting an outer surface defined by the body.
Abstract:
A golf club head comprising toe and heel portions, a front wall defining a ball-striking face, and top and bottom walls, the bottom wall characterized as having a medial ridge, and as forming two shallow recesses, one recess between the ridge and the heel portion, and the other recess between the ridge and the toe portion, the recesses everywhere spaced rearwardly from the front wall, the one recess having an arcuate peripheral edge generally convex toward the heel portion, and the other recess having an arcuate peripheral edge generally convex toward the toe portion.
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 a bottom wall having a local bevel located medially of the head and extending rearwardly and upwardly toward the rear wall, there being indicia on the local bevel.
Abstract:
In a putter head, the combination including a longitudinally elongated putter body in the form of a bar having a forward face for striking a golf ball, and rear side, top and bottom walls, a toe and a heel, between peripherally weighted toe and heel regions; a main recess sunk forwardly in the rear side; and an undercut recess extending outwardly from the inner extent of the main recess whereby a reduced thickness plate is formed between the recesses and the front face. A body face plate insert has a relatively heightened medial portion and two oppositely extending end portions of relatively reduced height.
Abstract:
A set of golf club heads, each head comprising a shell having toe and heel portions, and a front wall defining a ball striking face, and top or bottom walls, the ball striking faces of the heads having varying angularities with respect to vertical, the bottom wall of each head having a medial ridge, and forming two dished, similar shallow recesses, one recess between the ridge and heel portion and the other recess between the ridge and toe portion, the recesses located rearwardly of said front wall, one recess having an arcuate peripheral edge generally convex toward the heel portion and the other recess having an arcuate peripheral edge generally convex toward the toe portion.
Abstract:
A golf club head having a body defining a heel, toe, top wall, bottom wall, and a front wall defining an upwardly and rearwardly inclined front face and rear face, comprising a body defining a forwardly extending main recess located rearwardly of the front wall; the body also defining an undercut recess located rearwardly of the front wall rear face and extending outwardly from the main recess toward the top wall and toward the bottom wall, proximate the rear face; the head having rearward projection with downward thickening between the top wall and the main recess, and rearwardly of the undercut recess that extends toward the top wall, the undercut recess that extends toward the top wall having forward and rearward sides that extend generally parallel to one another; the rearward projection having a lower surface facing the main recess, the lower surface intersecting the rearward side of the undercut recess at an acute angle.
