Abstract
Embodiments of a golf club head comprising a first component and a second component that are coupled together to enclose a hollow interior are disclosed herein. The first component comprises at least a striking face, a striking face return, and a rear extension. In some embodiments, the first component also comprises a weight channel at a rear end and one or more braces that attach to the striking face return and the rear extension. The second component component comprises a crown portion, a sole toe portion, and a sole heel portion. The density of the second component is less than the density of the first component. In some embodiments, the first component mass is 85% to 96% of a mass of the golf club head.
Claims (20)
1. A golf club head comprising: a body comprising: a striking face, a rear end, a toe end, a heel end, a crown, a sole, a skirt, and a trailing edge, the body further comprising: a first component comprising the striking face, a striking face return, a rear extension comprising a weight channel, and a crown brace attached to the striking face return and to the rear extension; and a second component comprising a crown portion, a sole toe portion, and a sole heel portion; wherein: the second component is configured to be coupled to the first component to form an enclosed hollow interior of the golf club head; the first component comprises a first material having a first density; the second component comprises a second material having a second density; the first density is greater than the second density; the striking face comprises a striking face center; the weight channel is centrally located in the rear end of the golf club head; the striking face return of the first component extends rearwardly from the striking face, and comprises a forward crown portion and a forward sole portion; the rear extension extends from the forward sole portion of the striking face return toward the rear end; the rear extension further comprises a rear extension axis extending through a center of the rear extension; and a first component mass is 85% to 96% of a mass of the golf club head.
2. The golf club head of claim 1, wherein the crown brace attaches to the forward crown portion of the striking face return and to the sole rear extension adjacent to the weight channel at the rear end of the golf club head.
3. The golf club head of claim 2, wherein the crown brace and the weight channel comprise a hammerhead shape.
4. The golf club head of claim 2, wherein: the crown brace further comprises a crown brace longitudinal axis; the crown brace comprises a maximum length; and the crown brace longitudinal axis bisects the crown brace along the maximum length.
5. The golf club head of claim 4, wherein the crown brace longitudinal axis is offset toward the heel end parallel to the rear extension axis.
6. The golf club head of claim 4, wherein the crown brace longitudinal axis is offset toward the toe end parallel to the rear extension axis.
7. The golf club head of claim 4, wherein the crown brace longitudinal axis is non-parallel to the rear extension axis such that the crown brace longitudinal axis forms an acute angle relative to the rear extension axis.
8. The golf club head of claim 4, wherein: an X-axis that extends through the striking face center in a direction from the heel end to the toe end of the golf club head, also extending parallel to a ground plane when the club head is at an address position; a Y-axis extends through the striking face center in a direction from the crown to the sole of the golf club head, and perpendicular to the X-axis; a Z-axis extends through the striking face center in a direction from the striking face to the golf club head rear end and perpendicular to the X-axis and the Y-axis; a loft plane is approximately parallel to the striking face and tangent to the striking face center forming a loft angle with the ground plane; an XY plane extends through the X-axis and the Y-axis; a YZ plane extends through the Y-axis and the Z-axis; and the crown brace longitudinal axis is parallel to the YZ plane.
9. The golf club head of claim 1, wherein the weight channel is exposed at the rear end and sole of the body.
10. The golf club head of claim 1, wherein the weight channel is configured to receive a moveable weight in one of three positions.
11. The golf club head of claim 1, wherein the rear extension comprises a toe-side wall and a heel-side wall extending between the weight channel and the forward sole portion of the striking face return.
12. The golf club head of claim 10, wherein: the weight channel further comprises a mounting wall comprising three threaded apertures; the three threaded apertures comprise a toe-side threaded aperture, a center threaded aperture, and a heel-side threaded aperture; and the center threaded aperture is located at center point of a length of the mounting wall.
13. The golf club head of claim 1, wherein: the rear extension comprises a rear extension width measured in a heel to toe direction rearward of a rear perimeter of the forward sole portion of the striking face return; and the rear extension width is in a range of 25% to 85% of an entire width of the sole.
14. The golf club head of claim 13, wherein the rear extension width adjacent the weight channel can range between 1 inch and 2.5 inches.
15. The golf club head of claim 12, wherein a moveable weight is secured by a threaded fastener, which engages one of the three threaded apertures.
16. The golf club head of claim 12, wherein: the weight channel further comprises a sole wall, the sole wall being inset from the sole; the mounting wall is oriented approximately perpendicular to the sole; and the sole wall is inset from the sole by a distance approximately equal to the height of the mounting wall.
17. A golf club head comprising: a body comprising: a striking face, a rear end, a toe end, a heel end, a crown, a sole, a skirt, and a trailing edge, the body further comprising: a first component comprising the striking face, a striking face return, a rear extension comprising a weight channel, and a plurality of crown braces; and a second component comprising a crown portion, a sole toe portion, and a sole heel portion; wherein: the second component is configured to be coupled to the first component to form an enclosed hollow interior of the golf club head; the first component comprises a first material having a first density; the second component comprises a second material having a second density; the first density is greater than the second density; the striking face comprises a striking face center; the weight channel is centrally located in the rear end of the golf club head; the striking face return of the first component extends rearwardly from the striking face; and comprises a first component crown portion and a first component sole portion; the rear extension extends from the first component sole portion of the striking face return toward the rear end; the rear extension further comprises a rear extension axis extending through a center of the rear extension; and a first component mass is 85% to 96% of a mass of the golf club head.
18. The golf club head of claim 17, wherein: the plurality of crown braces defines a number of openings in the first component; and the number of openings is selected from the group consisting of: three, four, five, or six openings.
19. The golf club head of claim 17, wherein: the plurality of crown braces comprises two crown braces; each of the two crown braces attaches to the forward crown portion and to the rear extension adjacent to the weight channel at the rear end of the golf club head.
