Abstract
The present invention is directed to a modular golf club. In particular, golf club includes a plurality of components that are removably coupled so that the physical attributes of the golf club head may be tuned. The inventive golf club head includes a body member and at least one of a removable sole member and a removable face member.
Claims20
A golf club, comprising:
- a body member defining a sole cavity and including a hosel;
- a face member coupled to the body member and defining a ball-striking surface;
- a sole member including a bounce surface, wherein the sole member is received in the sole cavity so that the bounce surface is exposed and forms a lower most location of the golf club;
- and
- a plurality of mechanical fasteners coupling the face member and the sole member to the body member,
- wherein at least one of the mechanical fasteners couples the face member and the sole member to the body member such that the body member is sandwiched therebetween.
3 more elements
A golf club, comprising:
- a body member including an upper portion, a muscle portion, and a hosel, wherein the body member defines a cavity disposed in the muscle portion;
- a sole member disposed in the cavity;
- and
- at least one mechanical fastener coupling the sole member to the body member,
- wherein the sole member is slid into the cavity in the body member in a direction parallel to a ball-striking surface from a leading edge toward a top line.
2 more elements
A golf club, comprising:
- a body member including an upper portion, a muscle portion, a hosel and a channel extending through the muscle portion, wherein the channel is defined by a heel side channel wall, a toe side channel wall and a base channel wall;
- a sole member disposed in the channel and including a heel side wall, a toe side wall and a base wall, wherein the base wall abuts the base channel wall, wherein the heel side wall is angled relative to the heel side channel wall to form a heel side angular gap, and wherein the toe side wall is angled relative to the toe side channel wall to form a toe side angular gap;
- and
- a plurality of mechanical fasteners coupling the sole member to the body member, wherein a first fastener extends across the heel side angular gap and a second fastener extends across the toe side angular gap.
