Golf clubs and methods of manufacture

Golf clubs and methods of manufacture description/claims

This disclosure relates generally to golf club heads, and relates more particularly to golf club heads and methods of manufacturing a golf club head.

Golf clubs and specifically golf club heads of various designs have typically been developed to improve the functionality of a golfer's swing and resulting golf shot. While putting on a green towards a hole, many golfers suffer or are unable to consistently align and/or regularly hit a ball squarely such that the ball is directed towards the intended sight line of the golfer. Golf club design, and particularly golf club head design, may be used to optimize a golf club head's weighting scheme to overcome such inconsistencies. For example, a weighting scheme to adjust the center of gravity position and moments of inertia may mitigate a golfer's inconsistency problems. Strategically placed sight cues may further mitigate a golfer's inconsistency problem. Also, dampening elements may provide a better “feel” as well as provide an aesthetically pleasing sound, or defer an unpleasant sound, as the golf club contacts the ball.
