Abstract

Embodiments of golf club heads, golf clubs, and methods to manufacture golf club heads and golf clubs are generally described herein. In one example, a golf club head may include a body portion having an interior cavity, a front portion, a rear portion, a toe portion, a heel portion, a sole portion, and a top portion. A face portion having a face center is attached to the front portion. A port on the body portion may be connected to the interior cavity such that the interior cavity is at least partially filled with a polymer material from the port and such that the interior cavity at least partially extends over the port. A maximum width of the interior cavity may be below the face center and above the port. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.

Claims (45)

1. A golf club head comprising:

a body portion having an interior cavity, a front portion, a rear portion, a toe portion, a heel portion, a sole portion, and a top portion having an opening;

a face portion attached to the front portion, the face portion having a face center;

a crown portion attached to the top portion and covering the opening, the crown portion comprising a composite material; and

a port on the body portion connected to the interior cavity,

wherein the interior cavity is at least partially filled with a polymer material from the port,

wherein the interior cavity at least partially extends over the port,

wherein a width of the interior cavity varies below the face center, and

wherein a maximum width of the interior cavity is below the face center and above the port.

2. A golf club head as recited in claim 1 , wherein a width of the interior cavity between the port and the face portion is less than the maximum width.

3. A golf club head as recited in claim 1 , wherein a width of the interior cavity above the face center is less than the maximum width.

4. A golf club head as recited in claim 1 further comprising a weight portion, wherein the port is configured to receive the weight portion.

5. A golf club head as recited in claim 1 further comprising a plurality of ports below the face center and a plurality of weight portions, wherein each port of the plurality of ports is configured to receive a weight portion of the plurality of weight portions.

6. A golf club head as recited in claim 1 , wherein a width of the interior cavity above the face center is uniform or substantially uniform.

7. A golf club head comprising:

a body portion having an interior cavity, a front portion, a rear portion, a toe portion, a heel portion, a bottom portion, and a top portion;

a face portion attached to the front portion to enclose the interior cavity, the face portion having a face center;

a polymer material in the interior cavity; and

a port on the body portion connected to the interior cavity,

wherein the interior cavity includes a first width above the face center, a second width below the face center, and a third width below the second width,

wherein the second width is greater than the first width,

wherein the second width is greater than the third width,

wherein the port is below the third width,

wherein the interior cavity at least partially extends over the port at a location of the third width, and

wherein the interior cavity is at least partially filled with the polymer material from the port.

8. A golf club head as recited in claim 7 further comprising a crown portion attached to the top portion and covering an opening in the top portion.

9. A golf club head as recited in claim 7 further comprising a crown portion attached to the top portion, wherein the crown portion comprises a composite material.

10. A golf club head as recited in claim 7 , wherein the third width is between the port and the face portion.

11. A golf club head as recited in claim 7 further comprising a weight portion, wherein the port is configured to receive the weight portion.

12. A golf club head as recited in claim 7 further comprising a plurality of ports below the face center and a plurality of weight portions, wherein each port of the plurality of ports is configured to receive a weight portion of the plurality of weight portions.

13. A golf club head as recited in claim 7 , wherein the first width is uniform or substantially uniform between the top portion and the face center.

14. A golf club head comprising:

a body portion having an interior cavity, a front portion, a rear portion, a toe portion, a heel portion, a bottom portion, and a top portion;

a face portion attached to the front portion to enclose the interior cavity, the face portion having a face center;

a filler material in the cavity; and

a port on the body portion,

wherein a width of the interior cavity varies below the face center,

wherein a maximum width of the interior cavity is below the face center and above the port,

wherein the port is connected to the interior cavity, and wherein the interior cavity is at least partially filled with the filler material from the port, and

wherein the interior cavity at least partially extends over the port at a location of the maximum width.

15. A golf club head as recited in claim 14 , wherein the filler material is an elastic polymer material.

16. A golf club head as recited in claim 14 , wherein a width of the interior cavity between the port and the face portion is less than the maximum width.

17. A golf club head as recited in claim 14 , wherein a width of the interior cavity above the face center is less than the maximum width.

18. A golf club head as recited in claim 14 further comprising a weight portion, wherein the port is configured to receive the weight portion.

19. A golf club head as recited in claim 14 , wherein a width of the interior cavity above the face center is uniform or substantially uniform.
