Abstract: A driver-type golf club head comprising a cube-like body shape, wherein a ratio between the body height and the body depth is between 0.5 and 0.75, and a ratio between the body height and the body width is between 0.5 and 0.75. The golf club head further comprises a mass distribution wherein a large portion of the club head mass is located within a central mass zone centered about the Y′-axis. The golf club head further comprises an Ixx and an Iyy moment of inertia, wherein and Ixx/Iyy ratio is greater than 0.8. In many embodiments, the golf club head further comprises optimized bulge and roll curvatures determined by the Ixx, Iyy, CG position, coefficient of restitution, and/or other characteristics.

Abstract: A golf club has a first shaft coupled to a club head, a second shaft configured to slidably engage a portion of the first shaft, a grip coupled to the second shaft, and an adjustable length shaft assembly received by the second shaft and configured to allow a portion of the first shaft to slide in relation to the second shaft in a first configuration, and to restrict a portion of the first shaft from sliding in relation to the second shaft in a second configuration. The grip is restricted from rotation about the first shaft or the second shaft as the first shaft slides in relation to the second shaft.

Abstract: Described herein is a tour iron having a golf club head with a faceplate, a body, and an insert. A sole, top rail, rear, and the faceplate enclose a cavity within the body. The cavity can house the insert. The insert can comprise a low-density material, allowing weight to be concentrated around the peripheral edge of the golf club head. The rear of the golf club head has an inflection seam running from the heel to the toe. The golf club head has an upper portion, above the inflection seam and a lower portion below the inflection seam. The upper portion can have a rear opening. The faceplate, body, and insert can be formed of different materials having different densities. The golf club head has a comparatively high moment of inertia and a low center of gravity. Other embodiments and methods are described herein.
