Golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads
Examples 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 sole portion with a set of weight ports. Each weight port may have a first section and a second section. Each weight portion from a first set of weight portions may be adhered to the first section of a corresponding weight port by epoxy. Each weight portion from a second set of weight portions may be fastened to the second section of a corresponding weight port. At least a portion of the weight portions of the first set of weight portions may be interchangeable. At least a portion of the weight portions of the second set of weight portions may interchangeable. Other examples may be described and claimed.
1. A golf club head comprising:
a body portion including a toe portion, a heel portion, a front portion, a rear portion, a top portion, and a sole portion;
a set of weight ports at the sole portion, each weight port having a first section in communication with a second section, the first and second sections both having a cylindrical shape, and the first section located deeper in the body portion than the second section,
a first set of weight portions, each weight portion of the first set of weight portions having a shape that complements the shape of the first section of a corresponding weight port; and
a second set of weight portions, each weight portion of the second set of weight portions having a shape that complements the shape of the second section of a corresponding weight port,
wherein the first and second sections of each weight port have different volumes,
wherein each weight port accommodates up to two weight portions including one weight portion from the first set of weight portions and one weight portion from the second set of weight portions,
wherein each weight portion of the first set of weight portions is inserted into the corresponding weight port and adhered to the first section of the corresponding weight port by epoxy,
wherein each weight portion of the second set of weight portions is fastened to the second section of the corresponding weight port, and
wherein each weight portion of the first set of weight portions includes a central through-bore to provide at least one of air relief or relief for excess epoxy.
2. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein each weight portion of the first and second sets of weight portions is made of one of a titanium-based material, a steel-based material, and a tungsten-based material.
3. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein the first and second sections are concentrically aligned.
4. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein the second section of each weight port has a greater diameter than the first section of the corresponding weight port.
5. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein each weight portion of the first set of weight portions bears indicia indicating a mass property thereof.
6. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein weight portions of the first and second sets of weight portions located in the same weight port are spaced apart from each other and a resultant space therebetween provides at least one of air relief or relief for excess epoxy.
7. A golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein the first section of each weight port has a depth that is different from a depth of the corresponding second section of each weight port.
8. A golf club head comprising:
a body portion including a toe portion, a heel portion, a front portion, a rear portion, a top portion, and a sole portion;
a set of weight ports at the sole portion, each weight port having a first section and a second section;
a first set of weight portions, each weight portion of the first set of weight portions adhered to the first section of a corresponding weight port by epoxy; and
a second set of weight portions, each weight portion of the second set of weight portions fastened to the second section of a corresponding weight port,
wherein at least a portion of the weight portions of the first set of weight portions are interchangeable,
wherein at least a portion of the weight portions of the second set of weight portions are interchangeable, and
wherein each weight portion of the first set of weight portions includes a central through-bore to provide at least one of air relief or relief for excess epoxy.
9. A golf club head as defined in claim 8 , wherein each weight portion of the first and second sets of weight portions is made of one of a titanium-based material, a steel-based material, or a tungsten-based material.
10. A golf club head as defined in claim 8 , wherein each weight portion of the first set of weight portions bears indicia indicating a mass property thereof.
11. A golf club head as defined in claim 8 , wherein each weight portion of the first set of weight portions is puck-shaped and each weight portion of the second set of weight portions is a screw.
12. A golf club head as defined in claim 8 , wherein weight portions of the first and second sets of weight portions located in the same weight port are spaced apart from each other and a resultant space therebetween provides at least one of air relief or relief for excess epoxy.
13. A golf club head as defined in claim 8 , wherein each weight port further comprises a ledge between the first section and the second section, and wherein each weight portion of the second set of weight portions abuts the ledge of the corresponding weight port.
14. A golf club head as defined in claim 8 , wherein the first section of each weight port has depth that is different from a depth of the corresponding second section of each weight port.
15. A golf club head comprising:
a body portion including a toe portion, a heel portion, a front portion, a rear portion, a top portion, and a sole portion;
at least one weight port located at the sole portion, the at least one weight port having a first section, a second section, and a ledge therebetween;
at least one first weight portion coupled to the first section of the at least one weight port; and
at least one second weight portion coupled to the second section of the at least one weight port,
wherein the at least one second weight portion abuts the ledge of the at least one weight port and is spaced apart from the at least one first weight portion,
wherein the at least one first weight portion is adhered to the first section of the at least one weight port by epoxy, and
wherein the at least one first weight portion includes a central through-bore to provide at least one of air relief or relief for excess epoxy.
16. A golf club head as defined in claim 15 , wherein the at least one first weight portion and the at least one second weight portion are made of one of a titanium-based material, a steel-based material, and a tungsten-based material.
17. A golf club head as defined in claim 15 , wherein the at least one first weight portion is adhered to the first section of the at least one weight port by epoxy, and wherein a space between the at least one first weight portion and the at least one second weight portion provides at least one of air relief or relief for excess epoxy.
18. A golf club head as defined in claim 15 , wherein the ledge is annular, and wherein the at least one second weight portion includes a protruding rim that abuts the ledge of the at least one weight port.
19. A golf club head as defined in claim 15 , wherein the at least one first weight portion bears indicia indicating a mass property thereof.
20. A golf club head as defined in claim 15 , wherein the first section of the at least one weight port has a first depth and the second section of the at least one weight port has a second depth, and wherein the first depth is different from the second depth.
