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 toe portion, a heel portion, a top portion, a bottom portion, a rear portion, and a front portion having a face portion. The body portion may include a cavity wall portion extending from the top portion to the bottom portion. The body portion may include a first interior cavity portion and a second interior cavity portion. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.

Claims (38)

1. A golf club head comprising:

a body portion having a toe portion, a heel portion, a top portion, a bottom portion, a rear portion, a neutral axis, and a front portion having a face portion;

a cavity wall portion extending from the top portion to the bottom portion;

a first interior cavity portion between the face portion and the cavity wall portion, the first interior cavity portion having a maximum first width above the neutral axis and a maximum second width below the neutral axis; and

a second interior cavity portion between the cavity wall portion and the rear portion, wherein the maximum second width is greater than the maximum first width.

2. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , the cavity wall portion comprising:

a first wall portion extending from the top portion toward the bottom portion;

a second wall portion extending from the first wall portion toward the rear portion and the bottom portion; and

a third wall portion extending from the second wall portion to the bottom portion.

3. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein the first interior cavity portion is at least partially filled with a polymer material, the polymer material coupled to the face portion and the cavity wall portion.

4. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein the first interior cavity portion further comprises a third width below the maximum second width, the third width being less than the maximum second width.

5. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 further comprising a plurality of mass portions coupled to the bottom portion, the plurality of mass portions located closer to the front portion than the rear portion, wherein the first interior cavity portion at least partially extends over at least one of the plurality of mass portions.

6. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 further comprising a first set of mass portions and a second set of mass portions, the first set of mass portions coupled to the bottom portion and located closer to the toe portion than the heel portion, the second set of mass portions coupled to the bottom portion and located closer to the heel portion than the toe portion.

7. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein the cavity wall portion is located less than or equal to 1.0 inch (25.4 millimeters) rearward from the face portion.

8. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein the first interior cavity portion is associated with a first volume, the second interior cavity portion is associated with a second volume, and the first volume is less than or equal to 50% of the second volume.

9. A golf club head comprising:

a body portion having a toe portion, a heel portion, a top portion, a bottom portion, a rear portion, and a front portion having a face portion;

a cavity wall portion located within the body portion and rearward of the face portion, the cavity wall portion extending from the toe portion to the heel portion and extending from the top portion to the bottom portion, the cavity wall portion comprising:

a first wall portion extending from the top portion toward the bottom portion;

a second wall portion extending from the first wall portion toward the rear portion and the bottom portion; and

a third wall portion extending from the second wall portion to the bottom portion;

a first interior cavity portion between the cavity wall portion and the face portion; and

a second interior cavity portion between the cavity wall portion and the rear portion.

10. A golf club head as defined in claim 9 , the first interior cavity portion comprising an enlarged cavity portion below a neutral axis of the body portion, the enlarged cavity portion having a maximum width greater than a maximum width of the first interior cavity portion above the neutral axis.

11. A golf club head as defined in claim 9 , wherein the first interior cavity portion is at least 50% filled with a polymer material, the polymer material extending from the face portion to the cavity wall portion.

12. A golf club head as defined in claim 9 further comprising a plurality of mass portions coupled to the bottom portion and located closer to the front portion than the rear portion, wherein the first interior cavity portion at least partially extends over at least one of the plurality of mass portions.

13. A golf club head as defined in claim 9 further comprising a first set of mass portions coupled to the bottom portion and located closer to the toe portion than the heel portion, and a second set of mass portions coupled to the bottom portion and located closer to the heel portion than the toe portion.

14. A golf club head as defined in claim 9 , wherein the cavity wall portion is less than or equal to 1.0 inch (25.4 millimeters) rearward from the face portion.

15. A golf club head as defined in claim 9 , wherein the first interior cavity portion is associated with a first volume, the second interior cavity portion is associated with a second volume, and the first volume is less than or equal to 50% of the second volume.

16. A golf club head comprising:

a body portion having a toe portion, a heel portion, a top portion, a bottom portion, a rear portion, a neutral axis, and a front portion having a face portion;

a cavity wall portion located less than or equal to 1.0 inch (25.4 millimeters) rearward from the face portion, the cavity wall portion extending from the toe portion to the heel portion and from the top portion to the bottom portion;

a first interior cavity portion extending from the cavity wall portion to the face portion, the first interior cavity portion comprising an enlarged cavity portion below the neutral axis, the enlarged cavity portion having a maximum width greater than a maximum width of the first interior cavity portion above the neutral axis; and

a second interior cavity portion extending from the cavity wall portion to the rear portion.

17. A golf club head as defined in claim 16 further comprising a port extending through the bottom portion to the first interior cavity portion, wherein the first interior cavity portion is at least partially filled with a polymer material.

18. A golf club head as defined in claim 16 further comprising a plurality of mass portions coupled to the bottom portion, wherein the first interior cavity portion at least partially extends over at least one of the plurality of mass portions.

19. A golf club head as defined in claim 16 further comprising a first mass portion coupled to the bottom portion and located closer to the toe portion than the heel portion, and a second mass portion coupled to the bottom portion and located closer to the heel portion than the toe portion.
