Systems and methods for a weighted golf club head
A golf club head includes a body, a first weight assembly, and a second weight assembly. The body defines an interior cavity and an exterior surface having a forward-most point and a rearward-most point. The body includes a face disposed within a forward portion of the golf club head, a sole defining a bottom portion of a golf club head, a crown defining a top portion of the golf club head, and a skirt positioned about a portion of a periphery of the golf club head between the sole and the crown. The first weight assembly extends between the toe and the heel, has a first center of gravity, and is configured to engage a forward weight cavity mount that is formed in the sole. The second weight assembly defines a second center of gravity and is configured to engage a rearward weight aperture that is formed in the body.
1. A weight assembly for a golf club head, the weight assembly comprising:
an elongated aperture extending within at least a portion of an exterior surface of a golf club head, which is at least partially defined by an upper flange and a lower flange, wherein at least one of the upper flange and the lower flange defines a scalloped profile comprising an inner surface and an outer surface;
a slidable weight configured to engage an outer surface of each of the upper flange and the lower flange;
a slidable nut configured to engage an inner surface of each of the upper flange and the lower flange within a cavity of the golf club head; and
a fastener for connecting the weight and nut,
wherein the weight is configured to be secured at one of a plurality of discrete positions along the scalloped profile,
wherein the weight includes a first protrusion and a second protrusion that are spaced apart, and a concave surface that extends continuously between the first and second protrusions,
wherein the nut includes a third protrusion and a fourth protrusion that are spaced apart, and a convex surface that extends continuously between the third and fourth protrusions, and
wherein the first and second protrusions are configured to engage with the outer surface of the scalloped profile, and the third and fourth protrusions are configured to engage with the inner surface of the scalloped profile.
2. The weight assembly of claim 1 , wherein the third and fourth protrusions are located entirely between the first and second protrusions when the weight and the nut are coupled to one another with the fastener.
3. The weight assembly of claim 2 , wherein the scalloped profile includes recesses that are disposed on both of the inner surfaces and the outer surfaces of at least one of the upper flange and the lower flange.
4. The weight assembly of claim 2 , wherein the first protrusion and the second protrusion are dimensioned to be received within the recesses.
5. The weight assembly of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of discrete positions is between 2 positions and 15 positions.
6. The weight assembly of claim 1 , wherein the elongated aperture is at least partially formed within a skirt of the golf club head.
7. The weight assembly of claim 1 , wherein each of the upper flange and the lower flange comprises titanium.
8. The weight assembly of claim 1 , wherein when each of the weight and the nut slide between the plurality of discrete positions, the concave surface and the convex surface remain substantially parallel.
9. A weight system for a golf club head, the weight system comprising:
an elongated aperture defined within an exterior surface of a golf club head;
a flange defining a perimeter of the elongated aperture, wherein the flange defines a scalloped profile comprising an inner surface and an outer surface;
a first weight configured to slide within the elongated aperture;
a fastener in engagement with the first weight; and
a second weight secured to the first weight via the fastener, thereby securing the second weight within an interior cavity of the golf club head,
wherein the flange defines a scalloped profile comprising an inner surface and an outer surface, the scalloped profile configured to engage at least one of the first weight and the second weight,
wherein the scalloped profile provides a plurality of discrete positions along the weight cavity for securing the first weight and the second weight,
wherein the first weight includes a first protrusion and a second protrusion that are spaced apart, and a concave surface that extends continuously between the first and second protrusions,
wherein the second weight includes a third protrusion and a fourth protrusion that are spaced apart, and a convex surface that extends continuously between the third and fourth protrusions, and
wherein the first and second protrusions are configured to engage with the outer surface of the scalloped profile, and the third and fourth protrusions are configured to engage with the inner surface of the scalloped profile.
10. The weight system of claim 9 , wherein the third and fourth protrusions are located entirely between the first and second protrusions when the first weight and the second weight are secured to one another with the fastener.
11. The weight system of claim 9 , wherein the scalloped profile includes recesses that are disposed on both of the inner and the outer surfaces of the flange.
12. The weight system of claim 9 , wherein the plurality of discrete positions is between 2 and 15 positions.
13. The weight system of claim 9 , wherein the flange includes an upper flange and a lower flange, and
wherein each of the upper and lower flange extends inwardly from the perimeter of the elongated aperture.
14. The weight system of claim 11 , wherein the first protrusion and the second protrusion are dimensioned to be received within the recesses.
15. The weight system of claim 13 , wherein the scalloped profile is disposed on the upper flange.
16. The weight system of claim 9 , wherein the second weight defines the convex surface.
17. The weight system of claim 9 , wherein when each of the first weight and the second weight slide between the plurality of discrete positions, the concave surface and the convex surface remain substantially parallel.
18. The weight system of claim 9 , wherein the second weight is threadably coupled to the fastener.
