Benefits of technology
The present invention is a golf club head with a unique hosel region that helps secure a replaceable hosel mechanism and a cover to the golf club head. The hosel region includes a hoseel hole with non-threaded recessed undercuts and a retention mechanism with non-threaded protrusions that engage the recessed undercuts to secure the cover to the golf club head. The cover also has a receptacle opening. The invention also includes a polymeric damping member that contacts both the hosel hole and the hosel hole cover to provide improved feel and performance. These features make the golf club head easier to use and improve its overall quality.
Problems solved by technology
Although the aerodynamics of a golf club head may be a crucial component in it's overall performance, there are numerous other factors that also helps contribute to improving the overall performance of a golf club head; some of which could even come with some detriment to the aerodynamics of the golf club head.
However, both the Helmstetter et al. and Beach et al. invention requires access to the golf club from the bottom of the sole into the hosel region via a sole attachment opening, which could adversely affect the aerodynamics of the golf club head.
Kingston although capable of utilizing this existing attachment opening for weighting purposes, does so via a complicated system requiring multiple components, often requiring multiple threads that make is complicated to install and uninstall.
Moreover, Kingston fails to recognize the ability to improve the aerodynamics of the golf club head by addressing the negative effects of the attachment opening on the aerodynamics of the golf club head.

A golf club head with a hosel hole cover that helps improve the performance of the golf club head is disclosed. More specifically, the present invention relates to a golf club head having a hosel hole cover at a bottom portion of an interchangeable connection system that not only provides improved performance of the golf club head by strategically utilizing an existing opening to adjust the weighting of a golf club head, but it also improves the aerodynamics of the golf club head by eliminating undesirable recesses that could be detrimental to the aerodynamics of a golf club head.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present application is a Continuation-In-Part (CIP) of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 17 / 196,676, filed Mar. 9, 2021, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to a golf club head with a hosel hole cover that helps improve the performance of the golf club head. More specifically, the present invention relates to a golf club head having a hosel hole cover at a bottom portion of an interchangeable connection system that not only provides improved performance of the golf club head by strategically utilizing an existing opening to adjust the weighting of a golf club head, but it also improves the aerodynamics of the golf club head by eliminating undesirable recesses that could be detrimental to the aerodynamics of a golf club head.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Improving the aerodynamics of a golf club head has always been one of the ways go...
