Method of producing a metal-wood golf club with a weight cavity chamber recessed within the sole cavity for precise weight adjustment and relocation of the center of gravity within the head, covered and protected by a removable sole plate cover

Abstract

A metal-wood golf club having a removable sole plate that exposes a recessed cavity or multiple recessed cavities within the sole, into which lead tape or another suitable weighting material can be inserted to achieve precise weight distribution and modifying the center of gravity within the head. All added weight is in the sole, below the original center of gravity, making the club easier to hit. This system allows the custom clubmaker, or the individual golfer, to add weight in the center, toward the toe, heel, face, rear, or any combination thereof within the clubhead in order to adjust the club's center of gravity to the golfer's particular swing characteristics. Once the weight or weights have been added, the sole plate cover is reattached by means of a locking screw that covers, protects, and secures the weights in place within the recessed cavity.

We claim:  
     
         1 . A method of making a metalwood golf club head having a heel, toe, upper surface, rear surface, ball-striking surface, having a recessed cavity or multiple recessed cavities within the sole or bottom surface that has a removable cover plate wherein the improvement comprises: 
 a precision weight adjustment system for relocating the center of gravity within the club head, below the original center of gravity and in a direction toward the toe, heel, face, rear, or any combination thereof,    said weighting system may utilize lead tape or any other weighting material which, once placed in accordance with preselected parameters, is covered, protected, and held securely in place by the removable sole plate cover which is then reattached by means of a locking screw mechanism.    
     
     
         2 . The golf club head of  claim 1 , wherein the recessed cavity or multiple cavities of the sole plate may be designed in a variety of shapes and configurations.  
     
     
         3 . The golf club head of  claim 1 , wherein the sole plate cover is removable in order to expose said recessed cavity or multiple cavities, and replaceable in order to close said recessed cavity and to provide covering and protection for any added weight.
