Benefits of technology

The main objective of the current invention is to provide a customizable golf club head with a chamber for adjustable weight component(s). Weight adjustment can be conveniently achieved without stultifying the original design specifications of the golf club and can be applied to irons, woods, and other types of club heads.

Problems solved by technology

However, golf club technology has not advanced much in the area of customizable golf clubs.
The traditional methods, while achieving the adjustability of swingweight, not only stultify the original design specifications of the golf club but also, unfortunately, reduce the golf club's performance in striking the golf ball because weight distribution is incorrect.
In practice, this method is inconvenient and can not be applied to irons.

first embodiment

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, an iron is used to demonstrate the current invention, but the current invention can be applied to irons, woods, putters, wedges, and club heads of all types, sizes, and shapes. As seen in the illustrations, the current invention includes:

A golf club head (10), the sole (11) of the club head which extends toward back (12) of the club head to form a protrusion (13), a cavity (14) between said protrusion (13) and said back (12) which form a so-called undercut club head, and a rectangular chamber (15) located on the surface of said protrusion (13).

A weight component (20) with compressible flexibility whose width (W) is greater than chamber width (V) of said chamber (15). Said weight component (20) can be compressed to embed in said chamber (15). Said weight component (20) is made by mixing metallic dust (21) that is heavier than the material which makes up the club head together with rubber, synthetic rubber, compressibly flexible plastic, rubber com...

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the InventionThe present invention relates generally to a golf club head, particularly to a customizable golf club head with a chamber for adjustable weight component(s).2. Description of the Related ArtAdvanced golfers and professional golfers have a need for customizable golf clubs. However, golf club technology has not advanced much in the area of customizable golf clubs. With regard to swingweight, golfers can only rely on the traditional methods of adding or reducing the weight of the hosel or the grip in order to adjust the swingweight. The traditional methods, while achieving the adjustability of swingweight, not only stultify the original design specifications of the golf club but also, unfortunately, reduce the golf club's performance in striking the golf ball because weight distribution is incorrect.Recent developments for adjustable weight with woods mostly involve creating a cavity in the sole of the club head, putting in some weigh...
