Abstract

Disclosed golf club heads include a body defining an interior cavity, a face, a sole, a crown, and a hosel. Certain embodiments include a weight channel positioned in the sole and defining a path along the sole. Some embodiments include a weight member positioned in the weight channel that is configured to be adjusted to any of a range of selectable positions to adjust mass properties of the golf club head. A fastener may be configured to secure the weight member in any of the selectable positions, while the fastener itself, regardless of where the weight member is positioned along the path, may be secured to the body at a fixed location that is independent of the position of the weight member along the path.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A golf club head, comprising:
 a body defining an interior cavity, a sole defining a bottom portion of the golf club head, a crown defining a top portion of the golf club head, a face defining a forward portion of the golf club head, a rearward portion of the golf club head opposite the face, and a hosel;   a weight channel formed in the sole and defining a path along the sole;   a weight member positioned in the weight channel, the weight member configured to be adjusted in any of a range of selectable positions along the path to adjust mass properties of the golf club head; and   a fastener configured to secure the weight member to the body in any of the selectable positions along the path, wherein the fastener is configured to be tightened to press the weight member toward the body;   wherein the fastener is configured to be secured to the body at a single fixed location that is independent of the position of the weight member;   wherein the fastener comprises a fastener head and a threaded fastener shaft that extends from the fastener head and is secured to the body at a fastener port in the body;   wherein the weight member is configured to move in a generally front-back direction relative to the single fixed location of the fastener;   wherein the weight member configured to adjust at least one of a center of gravity along an x-axis (CG x ) and a center of gravity along an y-axis (CG y ), wherein an adjustment in CG y  is greater than an adjustment in CG x ;   wherein an adjustment of a center of gravity along an z-axis (CG z ) is no more than 2 mm;   wherein the weight member is configured to be adjusted from a first selectable position in the weight channel to a second selectable position in the weight channel; and   wherein at least a portion of the body extends over at least a portion of the weight member when the weight member is in the first selectable position.
