Abstract: A multi-weight assembly for a golf club head includes a primary weight and a weighted retainer. The primary weight is inserted into a socket, which may be formed in a low-toe region of the golf club head, while the weighted retainer secures the primary weight within the socket. The primary weight and weighted retainer may be formed of different materials and/or have difference masses, thereby allowing for greater variation and range of total mass provided by the multi-weight assembly. In some examples, the primary weight provides a coarse adjustment of total mass, while the weighted retainer provides a fine adjustment of total mass.

Abstract: Described herein is a hollow body iron-type golf club head having a sole and ballast configured to relieve stress within a forward region of the sole. In a first configuration, the golf club head comprises a ballast undercut for relieving stress. In other configurations, the ballast undercut is combined with additional stress relief features, such as a cascading sole near the face sole juncture, for further reductions to face thickness. In further configurations, the ballast defines a recess for receiving a ballast weight having a density greater than the body, thereby improving mass properties of the golf club head.

Abstract: A golf club head with a pneumatic insert is described herein. The pneumatic insert comprises a membrane enclosing a hollow chamber filled with a pressurized gas. The pneumatic insert occupies at least a portion of the club head cavity and is secured in the cavity by one or more retainers. The pneumatic insert damps club head vibrations and reinforces portions of the club head, thereby improving club head sound, feel, and ball flight performance.

Abstract: Embodiments of an iron-type golf club head comprising an L-shaped faceplate configured for flexibility are described herein. The L-shaped faceplate comprises a strike face portion and a sole return that wraps around a leading edge of the golf club head. In some embodiments, the L-shaped faceplate further comprises a top rail extension and a toe extension that extend to the peripheries of the golf club head. The golf club head comprises a rear body configured to receive the L-shaped faceplate to form a hollow interior cavity. The rear body comprises a sole ledge configured to receive the sole return. In some embodiments, the golf club head further comprises a weight pad that overhangs a portion of the sole return. In some embodiments, the golf club head further comprises dynamic lofting features that increase the bending in the rear body.

Abstract: Described herein is an iron-type golf club head comprising a shortened hosel and lengthened hosel bore. The iron-type golf club head allows for a range of loft and lie adjustability post-manufacture with maintained or reduced visible surface deformation and durability loss, and also creates discretionary mass that can be placed strategically for performance benefits.
