Definitions

  • Golf is enjoyed by a wide variety of players—players of different genders, and players of dramatically different ages and skill levels. Golf is somewhat unique in the sporting world in that such diverse collections of players can play together in golf outings or events, even in direct competition with one another (e.g., using handicapped scoring, different tee boxes, etc.), and still enjoy the golf outing or competition.
  • These factors together with increased golf programming on television (e.g., golf tournaments, golf news, golf history, and/or other golf programming) and the rise of well known golf dislikes, at least in part, have increased golf's popularity in recent years, both in the United States and across the world.
  • the golf club Being the sole instrument that sets a golf ball in motion during play, the golf club also has been the subject of much technological research and advancement in recent years. For example, the market has seen improvements in golf club heads, shafts, and grips in recent years. Additionally, other technological advancements have been made in an effort to better match the various elements of the golf club and characteristics of a golf ball to a particular user's swing features or characteristics (e.g., club fitting technology, ball launch angle measurement technology, etc.).
  • club fitting technology e.g., ball launch angle measurement technology, etc.
  • a golf club For a golf ball to reliably fly straight and in the desired direction, a golf club must meet the golf ball square (or substantially square) to the desired target path. Moreover, the golf club must meet the golf ball at or close to a desired location on the club head face (i.e., on or near a “desired” or “optimal” ball contact location) to reliably fly straight, in the desired direction, and for a desired distance. Off-center hits may tend to “twist” the club face when it contacts the ball, thereby sending the ball in the wrong direction, imparting undesired hook or slice spin, and/or robbing the shot of distance.
  • the degree of twisting of the club head upon off-center impacts can also be dependent upon the moment of inertia of the club head. Generally, a higher moment of inertia results in less twisting of the club head on impact. The moment of inertia can be increased by distributing the weight of the club head proportionally more toward the edges of the head and away from the center.
  • the face includes four quadrants extending from the geometric center of the face, and at least one cavity is located entirely in a high-heel quadrant, at least one cavity is located entirely in a high-toe quadrant, at least one cavity is located entirely in a low-heel quadrant, and at least one cavity is located entirely in a low-toe quadrant.
  • the inserts extend to the outer surface of the face and each insert has an outer surface that is flush with the outer surface of the face.
  • face members for use in a ball striking device, including a face, a wall extending rearward from an outer periphery of the face, and a plurality of cavities in the face, each cavity configured to receive an insert, as described above.
  • the face has an outer surface configured for striking a ball and an inner surface located rearward and opposite of the outer surface.
  • the face may also further include a plurality of inserts received in the plurality of cavities, as described above.
  • Further aspects of the invention relate to methods that can be used for manufacturing or customizing a golf club head, which is provided with a face configured for striking a ball with an outer surface thereof and a body connected to the face.
  • the method includes inserting inserts into the cavities, such as the inserts and cavities as described above.
  • the method may also include removing at least one of the inserts and replacing the removed insert with a second insert having a density different from the removed insert.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an illustrative embodiment of a head of a ball striking device according to the present invention, shown with a ball;
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-section view of the head of FIG. 1 , taken along lines 3 - 3 of FIG. 2 ;
  • FIG. 5 is a front view of a head of the ball striking device of FIG. 3 , illustrating a plurality of inserts received in a plurality of cavities in a face of the head;
  • FIG. 7 is a plan view of one illustrative embodiment of an insert suitable for connection to a face of a ball striking device according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 13 is a cross-section view of a third illustrative embodiment of a face having a plurality of inserts and being suitable for use with a head of a ball striking device according to the present invention.
  • the face 212 is located at the front 224 of the head 202 , and has a ball striking surface 210 located thereon and an inner surface 211 opposite the ball striking surface 210 .
  • the ball striking surface 210 is typically an outer surface of the face 212 configured to face a ball (not shown) in use, and is adapted to strike the ball when the device 200 is set in motion, such as by swinging. As shown, the ball striking surface 210 is relatively flat, occupying most of the face 212 .
  • the ball striking surface 210 may include grooves 148 (e.g., generally horizontal grooves 148 extending across the face 212 in the illustrated example) for the removal of water and grass from the face 212 during a ball strike.
  • grooves 148 e.g., generally horizontal grooves 148 extending across the face 212 in the illustrated example
  • any number of grooves, desired groove patterns, and/or groove constructions may be provided (or even no groove pattern, if desired), including conventional groove patterns and/or constructions, without departing from
  • the body member 208 of the golf club head 202 may be constructed from a wide variety of different materials, including materials conventionally known and used in the art, such as steel, titanium, aluminum, tungsten, graphite, polymers, or composites, or combinations thereof. Also, if desired, the club head 202 may be made from any number of pieces (e.g., having a separate face plate, etc.) and/or by any construction technique, including, for example, casting, forging, welding, and/or other methods known and used in the art.
  • the face 112 has a cavity 140 located in each of the high-heel quadrant 160 , the high-toe quadrant 162 , the low-heel quadrant 164 , and the low-toe quadrant 166 .
  • the face 112 of the head 102 shown in FIG. 2 contains two cavities 114 on the horizontal centerline of the face 112 , one each on the heel and toe sides of the face 112 , and two cavities on the vertical centerline of the face, one each on the top and bottom sides of the face 112 .
  • the face 212 has a cavity 140 located in each of the high-heel quadrant 260 , the high-toe quadrant 262 , the low-heel quadrant 264 , and the low-toe quadrant 266 . Additionally, the face 212 contains one cavity at the approximate center of the face 212 and two additional cavities on the vertical centerline of the face, one each on the top and bottom sides of the face 112 . In further embodiments, the head 102 , 202 may have a different configuration, and the arrangement of the cavities 114 may permit different weighting configurations and options, through insertion of different inserts 140 into the cavities 114 , as described below.
  • the face 112 , 212 may have inserts on the inner surface 111 , 211 and the outer surface 110 , 210 .
  • the face 112 may have front inserts 140 G received in cavities 114 in the outer surface 110 of the face 112 and rear inserts 140 H received in cavities 114 in the inner surface 111 of the face 112 .
  • FIG. 14 illustrates a similar embodiment, where the face 112 has front inserts 140 I and rear inserts 140 J, each of which have a stem 142 to permit the inserts 140 I, 140 J to be threaded into threaded cavities 114 on the outer surface 110 and inner surface 111 of the face, respectively.
  • the inserts 140 G-J and cavities 114 of the faces 112 shown in FIGS. 13-14 extend only a portion of the way through the face 112 .
