Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a metal wood type golf club having an improved golf club performance by disposing a high-density weight outside a natural contour of a club head.SOLUTION: The high-density weight 402 is disposed extremely outside a natural contour of the golf club head 400, thus achieving an extremely large moment of inertia (MOI) without sacrificing traditional dimensions and shapes relating to a classic pear shaped golf club.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a golf ball with unique combinations of compression, "feel", and spin.SOLUTION: The golf ball includes an inner core having a first outer surface and a geometric center and being formed from a first substantially homogenous composition throughout such that the geometric center has a hardness of 35 to 85 Shore C. An outer core layer is formed about the inner core, has a second outer surface and inner surface, and is formed from a second substantially homogenous composition throughout such that the surfaces have a hardness of 55 to 90 Shore C. A cover layer is disposed about the outer core layer. The hardness of the first outer surface is greater than the hardness of the geometric center to define a "positive hardness gradient", and the hardness of the second outer surface is substantially equal to or lower than the hardness of the inner surface to define a "negative hardness gradient".
Abstract:
A golf club head has a strike face and an opposite back face portion. The strike face defines a recess having a bottom surface and a side wall surface extending between the bottom surface and the strike face. An insert is disposed within the recess. The insert has two portions. The first portion has a passageway extending from a front surface of the insert to a back surface of the insert, and the second portion forms a portion of the strike face. The insert is configured so that the passageway is spaced from the strike face. A vibration dampening material is disposed within the passageway.
