Grooves of golf club heads and methods to manufacture grooves of golf club heads

Putter type club head with vertical groove patterns are described herein. A putter type club head comprises a putter face having a plurality of first curved grooves and a plurality of second curved grooves. The first curved grooves and the second curved grooves intersect each other at a plurality of points across the putter face. The width and depth of the first curved grooves and the second curved grooves can vary across the putter face in a direction extending from a heel end to a toe end, and/or in a direction extending from a top rail to a sole. The curved groove pattern provides consistent ball speed performance for any impact location on the putter face.

Grooves of golf club heads and methods to manufacture grooves of golf club heads

Embodiments of grooves and face inserts of golf club heads and methods to manufacture grooves and face inserts of golf club heads are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Golf club heads with ribs and related methods

Provided herein are embodiments of golf club heads comprising a crown and a ribbed region. The ribbed region of the golf club head can be positioned on a portion of the crown and can further include a ribbed wall, wherein the ribbed wall comprises a ribbed wall interior surface, a ribbed wall exterior surface, and one or more external ribs. The one or more external ribs can protrude from the ribbed region to increase the strength of the crown and beneficially reduce crown thickness. Other embodiments and related methods are disclosed herein.

Fairway wood golf club head with low CG

The present invention is directed to a fairway-type golf club head combing (or comprising) features selected from the group consisting of lightweight crown inserts, main body of weight reducing features, a high density sole insert, a removable, adjustable, interchangeable rear weight assembly, or a combination thereof to enable a low center of gravity of the club head thereby increasing forgiveness, reducing spin, and positioning the center of gravity at or near the force line impact point axis of the fairway-type golf club head.

Adjustable weight club head

Embodiments of golf club heads having adjustable weighting systems with a plurality of discrete attachment locations capable of receiving one or more weights are described herein. The golf club heads described herein provide user adjustability of club head center of gravity to adjust ball flight while maintaining a high moment of inertia and low and back center of gravity position.

Multi-component putter

Embodiments of multi-component putters comprising an upper portion and a lower portion are described herein. The upper portion is formed from a first material having a first density and the lower portion is formed from a second material having a second density. The first density is less than the second density. The upper portion is affixed to the lower portion via an adhesive or a combination of adhesives and interlocking geometry. The multi-component putter design provides increased forgiveness and moment of inertia compared to a putter formed from a single material.
