Abstract

The present invention relates to a golf club head having an adjustable weight assembly and fibrous fill. For example, the golf club head may include an internal cavity including a fibrous fill. The golf club head may include an adjustable weight assembly utilizing a weight member securable via a fastener along various positions within an elongate channel.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A golf club head comprising:
 a striking face portion located at a frontal portion of said golf club head;   a body portion attached to a rear of said striking face portion;   an internal cavity defined by said striking face portion and said body portion; and   wherein said body portion incorporates a weight adjustment portion further comprising;
 an elongate channel further comprising a plurality of scalloped depressions along a lower wall of said elongate channel, 
 a weight member having a fastener receiving aperture, and 
 a fastener further comprising a fastener head and a threaded shaft, 
   wherein said fastener head is adapted to engage at least one of said plurality of scalloped depressions to secure said weight member within said elongate channel.   
     
     
         2 . The golf club head of  claim 1 , wherein said internal cavity further comprises a fibrous fill. 
     
     
         3 . The golf club head of  claim 2 , wherein said fibrous fill comprises one of cotton, ceramic fiber, and glass fiber. 
     
     
         4 . The golf club head of  claim 2 , wherein said fibrous fill fills more than about 25% of an internal cavity volume. 
     
     
         5 . The golf club head of  claim 2 , wherein said golf club head comprises a total volume, and wherein said fibrous fill fills more than about 30% of said total volume. 
     
     
         6 . The golf club head of  claim 2 , wherein said fibrous fill comprises a first density that is less than about 15% of a striking face density. 
     
     
         7 . The golf club head of  claim 2 , wherein said fibrous fill comprises a first weight that is less than 30% of a total weight. 
     
     
         8 . A golf club head comprising:
 a striking face portion located at a frontal portion of said golf club head;   a body portion attached to a rear of said striking face portion; and   an internal cavity defined by said striking face portion and said body portion, wherein said internal cavity comprises a fibrous fill.   
     
     
         9 . The golf club head of  claim 8 , wherein said fibrous fill comprises one of cotton, ceramic fiber, and glass fiber. 
     
     
         10 . The golf club head of  claim 8 , wherein said fibrous fill fills more than about 25% of an internal cavity volume. 
     
     
         11 . The golf club head of  claim 8 , wherein said golf club head comprises a total volume, and wherein said fibrous fill comprises more than about 30% of said total volume. 
     
     
         12 . The golf club head of  claim 8 , wherein said fibrous fill comprises a first density that is less than about 15% of a striking face density. 
     
     
         13 . The golf club head of  claim 8 , wherein said fibrous fill comprises a first weight that is less than 30% of a total weight. 
     
     
         14 . A golf club head comprising:
 a striking face portion located at a frontal portion of said golf club head;   a body portion attached to a rear of said striking face portion; and   an internal cavity defined by said striking face portion and said body portion, wherein said internal cavity comprises a fibrous fill, and wherein said fibrous fill fills more than about 25% of an internal cavity volume.   
     
     
         15 . The golf club head of  claim 14 , wherein said fibrous fill comprises one of cotton, ceramic fiber, and glass fiber. 
     
     
         16 . The golf club head of  claim 14 , wherein said golf club head comprises a total volume, and wherein said fibrous fill comprises more than about 30% of said total volume. 
     
     
         17 . The golf club head of  claim 14 , wherein said fibrous fill comprises a first density that is less than about 15% of a striking face density. 
     
     
         18 . The golf club head of  claim 14 , wherein said fibrous fill comprises a first weight that is less than 30% of a total weight. 
     
     
         19 . The golf club head of  claim 14 , wherein said fibrous fill comprises one of natural fibers and synthetic fibers. 
     
     
         20 . The golf club head of  claim 14 , wherein said fibrous fill comprises one of loose fibers and mats.
