Benefits of technology
The present invention relates to a new type of golf club head called a wedge type golf club head. The wedge type golf club head has several technical features, including a striking face portion, a backing portion, and a sole muscle portion. The sole muscle portion has a cavity with an opening and one or more weights that fit into the cavity. This design allows for a higher center of gravity, which improves the accuracy and consistency of the golfer's shots. The wedge type golf club head also has a weight pocket and a weight pad that fit into the weight pocket, providing more weight options for the golfer. The invention also includes a chassis and a back piece that work together to retain the weight pad to the golf club head. The technical effects of this design include improved accuracy and consistency, increased weight options, and improved stability and durability of the wedge type golf club head.
Problems solved by technology
Although there are numerous attempts in the past of using weights to adjust the center of gravity of a golf club head, none of these methods focus on a way to adjust the center of gravity in a way that truly benefits a wedge type golf club head.
Hence, as it can be seen from above, despite all the attempts in creating a golf club having an adjustable center of gravity, none of them are capable of applying them to a wedge type golf club head in a manner that is clean, effective, and aesthetically pleasing.

A golf club head with a variable center of gravity is disclosed herein. More specifically, the present invention discloses a wedge type golf club head wherein the center of gravity of the golf club head is adjustable along an x-axis in a heel to toe direction utilizing weights that are placed substantially near a sole portion of the golf club head. The resulting golf club head may generally have a more toe biased center of gravity location, especially when compared to a traditional golf club head. The present invention also discloses an innovative way to construct the golf club head to achieve those desirable center of gravity locations by utilizing various attachment techniques with different materials having different densities.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application is a Continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15 / 187,449, filed on Jun. 20, 2016, which is a Continuation-In-Part (CIP) of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14 / 509,190, filed Oct. 8, 2014, the disclosure of which are all incorporated by reference in their entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a golf club head with variable center of gravity. More specifically, the present invention relates to a wedge type golf club head wherein the center of gravity of the golf club head is adjustable along an x-axis in a heel to toe direction utilizing weights that are placed substantially near a sole portion of the golf club head. The weight, in one exemplary embodiment of the present invention, may be placed within a cavity that is formed at the bottom sole portion of the golf club head, while other embodiments may place the weights at different locations inside or even outside of the cavit...
