Golf club and golf club head structures
A golf club head has a body defining a ball striking face. The body further has a first leg extending away from the ball striking face and a second leg extending away from the ball striking face wherein a void is defined between the first leg and the second leg. The body further defines a cover that extends over the void. The golf club head may further have support structures and adjustable weight members.
1. A golf club head comprising:
a body comprising a ball striking surface, a crown, a sole, a plurality of sidewalls, a rear, a toe portion, and a heel portion;
the plurality of sidewalls comprises at least a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a third sidewall that extends downwardly in a direction from the crown of the golf club head towards the sole of the golf club head;
the body further comprises a first leg extending away from the ball striking face and a second leg extending away from the ball striking face to form a void;
the first leg comprises a first side and the second leg comprises a second side;
the body further includes a cover;
the first side of the first leg and the second side of the second leg converge toward the ball striking face to form an interface area;
a weight operably associated with the interface area;
wherein:
the first sidewall of the plurality of sidewalls is generally parallel to the ball striking face;
the second sidewall of the plurality of sidewalls is substantially vertical and positioned proximal to the toe portion;
the third sidewall of the plurality of sidewalls is substantially vertical and positioned proximal to the heel portion;
the first sidewall, the second sidewall, and the third sidewall form a recessed region in the rear of the body;
the body defines a receiver at the interface area and the weight being received in the receiver.
2. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the cover extends over the void.
3. The golf club head of claim 2 , wherein the receiver is in the form of a receiver tube having a closed end proximate the cover and an open end proximate the sole of the body.
4. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the weight has a first end and a second end.
5. The golf club head of claim 4 , wherein the first end is denser than the second end.
6. The golf club head of claim 5 , wherein the weight is positioned in the receiver in a first position such that the first end is positioned at the closed end.
7. The golf club head of 5 , wherein the weight is positioned in the receiver in a second position such that the second end is positioned at the closed end.
8. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the weight is moveable among a plurality of positions.
9. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the weight comprises a plurality of weight members releasably connected to one another.
10. The golf club head of claim 9 , wherein each of the plurality of weight members have different weight values.
11. A golf club head comprising:
a body comprising a ball striking surface, a crown, a sole, a plurality of sidewalls, a rear, a toe portion, and a heel portion;
the plurality of sidewalls comprises at least a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a third sidewall that extends downwardly in a direction from the crown of the golf club head towards the sole of the golf club head;
the body further comprises a first leg extending away from the ball striking face and a second leg extending away from the ball striking face to form a v-shaped void;
the first leg comprises a first side and the second leg comprises a second side;
the body further includes a cover;
the first side of the first leg and the second side of the second leg converge toward the ball striking face to form an interface area;
a weight operably associated with the interface area;
wherein:
the first sidewall of the plurality of sidewalls is generally parallel to the ball striking face;
the second sidewall of the plurality of sidewalls is substantially vertical and positioned proximal to the toe portion;
the third sidewall of the plurality of sidewalls is substantially vertical and positioned proximal to the heel portion;
the first sidewall, the second sidewall, and the third sidewall form a recessed region in the rear of the body;
the body defines a receiver at the interface area and the weight being received in the receiver.
12. The golf club head of claim 11 , wherein the cover extends over the v-shaped void.
13. The golf club head of claim 11 , wherein the receiver is in the form of a receiver tube, and wherein the receiver tube includes a closed end proximate the cover and an open end proximate the sole of the body.
14. The golf club head of claim 11 , wherein the weight has a first end and a second end.
15. The golf club head of claim 14 , wherein the first end is denser than the second end.
16. The golf club head of claim 15 , wherein the weight is positioned in the receiver in a first position such that the first end is positioned at the closed end.
17. The golf club head of 15 , wherein the weight is positioned in the receiver in a second position such that the second end is positioned at the closed end.
18. The golf club head of claim 11 , wherein the weight is moveable among a plurality of positions.
19. The golf club head of claim 11 , wherein the weight comprises a plurality of weight members releasably connected to each other.
20. The golf club head of claim 19 , wherein the weight members have different weight values.
