Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing golf club heads lack a versatile and secure mechanism for adjusting properties such as aerodynamics, center of gravity, and shape, limiting customization and performance optimization.
Innovation Solution
A golf club head design featuring an adjustment member with an inner and outer portion, connected by a rotary connecting portion, allowing for detachable and adjustable fixation to the head surface, with corotation prevention mechanisms to secure the member in place.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a weight member is attached to the golf club head, then the center of gravity can be adjusted, but the adjustment member cannot be easily detached or replaced
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustment member is divided into an inner portion and an outer portion that can be separated. The inner portion can be inserted through the opening and positioned within the head body, while the outer portion remains outside. This segmentation allows the adjustment member to be detached by separating the two portions, enabling easy replacement while maintaining secure attachment during use.
Solution Approach 2:
The inner portion is designed to be inserted through the opening and positioned within the head body cavity, while the outer portion remains outside. The nested configuration allows the adjustment member to be securely attached when assembled, but easily detached by separating the portions, solving the contradiction between secure attachment and ease of replacement.
2Ease of operation
If the adjustment member is made detachable for easy replacement, then ease of operation is improved, but the security and stability of attachment deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustment member is segmented into inner and outer portions that can be easily separated for detachment, yet form a secure combined structure during attachment. The segmentation enables simple removal while the integrated design ensures reliable attachment when assembled.
Solution Approach 2:
The inner portion is pre-designed with a specific shape and size that matches the opening in the head body. This preliminary design ensures that when the inner portion is inserted through the opening and positioned within the head body, it automatically achieves secure attachment without requiring additional fastening operations.
3Ease of operation
If the inner portion is designed to pass through the opening, then ease of installation is improved, but the risk of accidental passage during use increases
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustment member is designed with dynamic positional control. The inner portion can be rotated to a first position where it passes through the opening for installation, and to a second position where it does not pass through the opening for secure attachment during use. This dynamic positioning eliminates the risk of accidental passage while maintaining ease of installation.
Solution Approach 2:
The segmentation into inner and outer portions allows the inner portion to be independently positioned. The inner portion can be inserted through the opening during installation, then positioned in a second position where it does not pass through the opening during use, preventing accidental passage while maintaining ease of installation.
4Adaptability or versatility
If the adjustment member is made retrofittable, then adaptability is improved, but the complexity of the fixing structure increases
Solution Approach 1:
The adjustment member is segmented into inner and outer portions, with the inner portion designed to be inserted through an opening in the head body. This segmentation enables retrofitting by allowing the inner portion to be inserted through existing openings in the head body cavity, while the outer portion remains outside. The segmented design achieves retrofitting capability without significantly increasing structural complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The adjustment member is designed with universal applicability through its segmented structure. The inner portion can be inserted through openings in various head body configurations, making the adjustment member adaptable to different golf club head designs. This universal design enables retrofitting across multiple applications without requiring complex custom fixing structures for each variant.

AI summary
A head includes at least one adjustment member that is detachably fixed to the head outer surface in a state where a body wall is sandwiched by the adjustment member. A head body has at least one opening that penetrates through the body wall. The adjustment member includes an inner portion, an outer portion, and a rotary connecting portion. Rotational positions of the inner portion include a pass-through position that allows the inner portion to pass through the opening, and a non-pass-through position that prevents the inner portion from passing through the opening. An inner surface abutment part of the inner portion situated at the non-pass-through position abuts against the head inner surface. The head body or the adjustment member includes a corotation prevention portion that prevents the inner portion situated at the non-pass-through position from corotating with the rotary connection portion.
