Abstract

Embodiments of golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads are generally described herein. In one example, a golf club head may include a body portion having a front portion, a rear portion, a toe portion, a heel portion, a top portion, a bottom portion having an outer surface portion, and a skirt portion between the top portion and the bottom portion. The golf club head may include a first plurality of weight ports in the outer surface portion and a second plurality of weight ports in the outer surface portion. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.

Claims (33)

1. A golf club head comprising:

a body portion comprising a front portion, a rear portion, a toe portion, a heel portion, a top portion, a bottom portion having an outer surface portion, and a skirt portion between the top portion and the bottom portion;

a first plurality of weight ports in the outer surface portion, the first plurality of weight ports being closer to the front portion than the rear portion and extending between the toe portion and the heel portion, the first plurality of weight ports arranged along a first arc that is convex relative to a tangent plane of the front portion; and

a second plurality of weight ports in the outer surface portion, the second plurality of weight ports being closer to the rear portion than the front portion, the second plurality of weight ports arranged along a second arc that is concave relative to the tangent plane of the front portion.

2. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein a port distance between any two adjacent weight ports in the first plurality of weight ports is less than or equal to a maximum port diameter of the any two adjacent weight ports in the first plurality of weight ports.

3. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein a port distance between any two adjacent weight ports in the second plurality of weight ports is less than or equal to a maximum port diameter of the any two adjacent weight ports in the second plurality of weight ports.

4. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , the first plurality of weight ports extending a distance of at least 2.5 inches between the toe portion and the heel portion.

5. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , the first plurality of weight ports extending a distance of at least 2.5 inches between the toe portion and the heel portion.

6. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , the first plurality of weight ports extending a distance of between and including 2.5 inches and 3.7 inches between the toe portion and the heel portion.

7. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , the second plurality of weight ports extending a distance of between and including 2.5 inches and 5 inches between the toe portion and the heel portion.

8. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , the first plurality of weight ports and the second plurality of weight ports together defining a D-shaped loop.

9. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein a first weight port of the first plurality of weight ports is located nearest to the heel portion and a second weight port of the first plurality of weight ports is located nearest to the toe portion, wherein a first weight portion is disposed in the first weight port and a second weight portion is disposed in the second weight port, the first weight portion having a mass greater than the second weight portion.

10. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein a first weight port of the first plurality of weight ports is located nearest to the heel portion and a second weight port of the first plurality of weight ports is located nearest to the toe portion, wherein a first weight portion is disposed in the first weight port and a second weight portion is disposed in the second weight port, the second weight portion having a mass greater than the first weight portion.

11. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein a first weight port of the second plurality of weight ports is located nearest to the heel portion and a second weight port of the second plurality of weight ports is located nearest to the toe portion, wherein a first weight portion is disposed in the first weight port and a second weight portion is disposed in the second weight port, the first weight portion having a mass greater than the second weight portion.

12. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein a first weight port of the second plurality of weight ports is located nearest to the heel portion and a second weight port of the second plurality of weight ports is located nearest to the toe portion, wherein a first weight portion is disposed in the first weight port and a second weight portion is disposed in the second weight port, the second weight portion having a mass greater than the first weight portion.

13. A golf club head comprising:

a body portion comprising a front portion, a rear portion, a toe portion, a heel portion, a top portion, a bottom portion having an outer surface portion, and a skirt portion between the top portion and the bottom portion;

a first plurality of weight ports in the outer surface portion, the first plurality of weight ports being closer to the front portion than the rear portion and extending between the toe portion and the heel portion, the first plurality of weight ports arranged along a first arc that is convex relative to a tangent plane of the front portion;

a second plurality of weight ports in the outer surface portion, the second plurality of weight ports being closer to the rear portion than the front portion, the second plurality of weight ports arranged along a second arc that is concave relative to the tangent plane of the front portion;

a first plurality of weight portions disposed in the first plurality of weight ports; and

a second plurality of weight portions disposed in the second plurality of weight ports, the first plurality of weight portions collectively defining a first mass, the second plurality of weight portions collectively defining a second mass, the first mass being greater than the second mass.

14. A golf club head as defined in claim 13 , wherein a port distance between any two adjacent weight ports in the first plurality of weight ports is less than or equal to a maximum port diameter of the any two adjacent weight ports in the first plurality of weight ports.

15. A golf club head as defined in claim 13 , wherein a port distance between any two adjacent weight ports in the second plurality of weight ports is less than or equal to a maximum port diameter of the any two adjacent weight ports in the second plurality of weight ports.

16. A golf club head as defined in claim 13 , the first plurality of weight ports extending a distance of at least 2.5 inches between the toe portion and the heel portion.

17. A golf club head comprising:

a body portion comprising a front portion, a rear portion, a toe portion, a heel portion, a top portion, a bottom portion having an outer surface portion, and a skirt portion between the top portion and the bottom portion;

a first plurality of weight ports in the outer surface portion, the first plurality of weight ports being closer to the front portion than the rear portion and extending between the toe portion and the heel portion, the first plurality of weight ports arranged along a first arc that is convex relative to a tangent plane of the front portion;

a second plurality of weight ports in the outer surface portion, the second plurality of weight ports being closer to the rear portion than the front portion, the second plurality of weight ports arranged along a second arc that is concave relative to the tangent plane of the front portion;

a first plurality of weight portions disposed in the first plurality of weight ports; and

a second plurality of weight portions disposed in the second plurality of weight ports, the first plurality of weight portions collectively defining a first mass, the second plurality of weight portions collectively defining a second mass, the second mass being greater than the first mass.
