Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.
Claims20
A golf club head comprising:
- a body portion having a toe portion, a heel portion, a rear portion, a front portion with a strike face, a sole portion, and a top portion with a plurality of weight ports, the body portion defining a periphery of the golf club head;
- a plurality of weight portions with each weight portion disposed in one weight port of the plurality of weight ports;
- and
- a visual guide portion extending between the front and rear portions to provide a visual guide to strike a golf ball with the strike face, the visual guide portion having a first guide portion formed by a first set of weight ports of the plurality of weight ports located less than 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) from the periphery at or proximate to the toe portion, and a second guide portion formed by a second set of weight ports of the plurality of weight ports located less than 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) from the periphery at or proximate to the heel portion,
- wherein each weight port of the plurality of weight ports is associated with a port diameter,
- wherein any two adjacent weight ports of the plurality of weight ports are separated by a distance less than or equal to the port diameter, and
- wherein the back wall portion comprises at least one weight port of the plurality of weight ports.
A putter-type club head comprising:
- a body portion having a toe portion, a heel portion, a back portion with a back wall portion comprising a plurality of weight ports, a front portion with a strike face, a top portion, and a sole portion, the body portion defining a periphery of the golf club head;
- a plurality of weight portions with each weight portion disposed in one weight port of the plurality of weight ports;
- and
- a visual guide portion extending between the front and back portions to provide a visual guide to strike a golf ball with the strike face, the visual guide portion having a first guide portion located proximate to the toe portion, and a second guide portion proximate to the heel portion and being substantially parallel to the first guide portion.
A putter-type golf club head comprising:
- a body portion having a first end portion, a second end portion, a top portion, a sole portion, a front portion with a strike face, a back portion with a back wall portion comprising at least one weight port of a plurality of weight ports with each weight port configured to receive a weight portion, the first end portion having a first end point tangential to a first vertical plane, and the second end portion having a second end point tangential to a second vertical plane substantially parallel to the first vertical plane;
- and
- at least two guide portions extending between the front and back portions to provide a visual guide to strike a golf ball with the strike face, the at least two guide portions having a first guide portion being less than 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) from the first vertical plane, and a second visual guide portion being less than 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) from the second vertical plane,
- wherein the first and second vertical planes are substantially perpendicular to a ground plane.
