Problems solved by technology

[0008] Although a high moment of inertia is achieved by increasing the perimeter weight of the club head, an increase in the overall mass / swing weight of the club head (i.e., the size of the center of gravity) has a strong effect on club head speed and distance. Negative impact
In other words, in order to maximize club head speed (and distance) a lower overall mass is desired; however lower overall mass generally reduces the club head's moment of inertia (and forgiveness)

Embodiment Construction

[0032] Referring to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to identify similar or identical parts throughout the several views, figure 1 An exploded perspective view of a golf club head 12 schematically shown Figure 10 . In particular, the technology relates to the design of wood-type club heads, such as woods, fairway woods, or hybrid irons.

[0033] As shown, golf club head 12 includes a body portion 14 ("body 14") and an insert portion 16 ("insert 16") that may be secured together to define an enclosed space. One or more weights 18 may be selectively coupled to the body 14 and / or the insert 16 to provide the user with the ability to vary the off-the-shelf performance of the club head 12 .

[0034] As shown, the body 12 includes a face 20 , a sole 22 , a hosel 24 and a crown 26 (ie, disposed on a side of the club head 12 opposite the sole 22 ). A heel portion 28 may generally be defined on the first side of the face 20 and may include the hosel 24 . Like...

Abstract

A golf club head includes a body formed from a metallic material and an insert formed from a polymeric material. The body has a face, a crown, and a sole, and the sole at least partially defines an opening in the body. The insert is configured to be secured to the body across the opening such that the body and the insert cooperate to define a closed volume.

Description

technical field [0001] [0002] This invention relates generally to golf clubs and golf club heads, and in particular to golf clubs and golf club heads having polymeric portions. Background technique [0002] Golf clubs are typically formed by attaching a club head to a first end of a flexible shaft and attaching a grip element to a second end of the shaft. Tradition and the United States Golf Association (USGA) Golf Rules have established certain terms to describe the various parts and angular relationships of the club head. For example, a wood-type club head includes a face or hitting face, a crown, a sole, a heel, a toe, a back, and a hosel ( hosel). These club head portions are most easily described when the club head is positioned at a reference position relative to the ground plane. In the reference position, the club's lie angle (i.e., the angle formed between the shaft and the ground plane) and the club's loft (i.e., the angle formed between the clubface and the gro...
