Golf club heads with localized heat-affected zones

PendingJP2026108625AGolf clubsRacket sports
The present invention provides a golf club head having one or more localized heat-affected zones (HAZs). [Solution] A golf club head, particularly a wood-type golf club head, comprising a faceplate having one or more heat-affected zones (HAZs) to allow constant or reasonable tolerance variations in CT across the entire faceplate. The heat-affected zone may be formed via weld beads that locally modify a specific part, section, or region of the faceplate without altering the features and properties of the faceplate as a whole or as a whole. Local modification of a specific part or region of the faceplate via weld beads (or spot welds) to form the heat-affected zone may modify the microstructure of that region or section. Modification of the microstructure in the region or section in question may modify the characteristic time features of that region or section when impacted by a golf ball.

Production method for baseball bats based on 6-series recycled aluminum

A production method for baseball bats based on 6-series recycled aluminum is provided, which includes steps such as pretreatment, melting, casting, homogenization treatment, extrusion, drawing, and subsequent processing. In the casting step, the crystallizer adopts electromagnetic stirring treatment to disperse larger Fe containing phases. In the homogenization treatment step, it is divided into primary and secondary homogenization two stages. The purpose of the primary homogenization treatment is to dissolve the Mg2Si phase with a low melting point into the matrix, and the purpose of the secondary homogenization treatment is to transform the elongated β-AlFeSi into spherical α-Al(FeMn)Si to eliminate harmful Fe phases. Heating treatment is used on the drawing mold during the drawing process, and warm forming helps to make aluminum alloy drawing smoother, reduce cracking, and eliminate the need to add other alloys during the production process of recycled aluminum melting.

Flexible pickleball paddle and frame thereof

The present teachings generally include flexible pickleball paddles and / or frames thereof. In an aspect, a frame of a paddle includes a region adjacent to a throat portion of the paddle that is thinner than other regions of the frame, e.g., thicker regions disposed along its sides, top, and / or handle. The lack of material in this portion of the frame—e.g., disposed directly above the handle—may provide advantageous flexing of the paddle during play (e.g., how fast the paddle can return to the original shape after being flexed), improving power characteristics, control, feel, responsiveness, and / or the like. Moreover, a gap formed by the lack of material in this portion of the frame can provide a region for enhanced weight control (e.g., by filling the gap with a weighted material), and / or for enhanced sound or vibration control (e.g., by filling the gap with a sound dampening and / or vibration dampening material).
