Description

Multiple density golf club head and manufacture method thereof
The present invention's invention field system especially comprises the glof club head in the zone of different densities and material relevant for glof club head.
Golf clubs can be classified into three kinds of forms, i.e. rod, push rod and iron now.
Usually, the linksman uses rod to hit the golf of long distance in the service area.Original rod glof club head is by the wood materials manufacturing.Though still have many linksmans to like using wooden glof club head, but because the low characteristic of conspiring of wood materials, therefore not a kind of optimal structure, so, developed " metal wood " bar afterwards to strengthen the performance of rod glof club head.One metal wood golf clubs can produce the shape of the rod glof club head of tradition use, but its club head is entirely steel or other metal material manufacturing.
General linksman uses the iron club head to carry out the strike of middle distance between the fruit mountain range at ball seat ground and match play place.Basically, the iron club head has a club head, and this club head is made by some metal, to form the iron and steel of whole club head.
The third golf clubs is the push rod glof club head, and this type of club head is used at chipping area so that golf is squeezed into match play.The club head system of general push rod golf clubs is made of the metal material as iron and so on.
Rod, iron and push rod all have a scope of attack, and when the glof club head square stance, this scope of attack will contact golf.Its traditional scope of attack of push rod and iron is plane or smooth surface.Its scope of attack of tradition rod glof club head is big and be crooked shape, and non-flat forms or plane.
The researcher has used multiple diverse ways to improve the strike feature of glof club head.Wherein a kind of method is for to add to insert on the face of glof club head.When design contained the golf clubs of inserting surface, the material of selecting insert was to provide needed strike feature in golf clubs.The feature of insertion material such as weight, frictional force, tough factor and hardness produce very big influence to the strike characteristic of golf clubs.For example, the golf clubs of the insert material manufacturing of tool great friction coefficient tends to make that golf can produce the rotation of great friction coefficient, and allows an outstanding linksman can control and operate golf ball-batting.But the beginner also dislikes making golf to produce the highly golf clubs of rotation, is because can reduce the hitting distance of golf, and may increases the possibility that golf produces Draw or miss.
The club head of existing multiple this inserting surface is suggested.Generally speaking.Insert only covers the degree of depth of club head some.Usually, club head has backing material in zone that insert is put.The example of the glof club head of tool insert can be referring to United States Patent (USP) case case numbers 4,883,275,5,358,249,5,405,136,5,423,535,5,489,094 and 5,575,472.
Improving the other method of the strike characteristic of glof club head, is the distribution of weight of adjusting club head.The distribution of weight of known club head can influence during the ball/club bump, causes the tendency of rotating around golf club shaft, especially when the position of ball/club bump on face, but not during center of gravity.The technology of existing multiple distribution of weight is suggested, and attempts to reduce this via the distribution of weight in the club head and rotates tendency.This technology comprises distribution of weight on every side usually, wherein wt is allocated in the peripheral region of the club that leaves the club head center, or be applied to root, interlude and front end distribution of weight, wherein make the material of apparatus different densities, with root and the front end of more distribution of weight at golf clubs at root, front end and the interlude of club head.
Weight insert around the example of distribution of weight uses around a kind of.Use less dense planes insert also can be with distribution of weight around club head.Also can via to club head moulding and produce a cavity at the back side of club and can with around distribution of weight suitable, therefore produce complicated shape, wherein weight is heavier around the club head.The pattern of a kind of root and front end distribution of weight is for producing a club head, and wherein root and the front end at club partly uses heavy alloy, and uses low-density alloy at the interlude of club head.Distribution of weight on every side, the example of root and front end distribution of weight can be referring to United States Patent (USP) case case numbers 4,992,236.
During distribution of weight, in the design of glof club head, root and front end distribution of weight and inserting surface have improved the performance of golf clubs around using.These technology make the cost of this specially designed golf clubs rise.And it is quite complicated at the manufacturing and the assembly operation of the modified form that produces these clubs.
