Appl. No.:

09/603891

Inventors:

Peter J. Gilbert - Carlsbad CA

Assignee:

Acushnet Company - Fairhaven MA

International Classification:

A63B 5300

US Classification:

473287, 473291, 473349, 473350

Abstract:

In accordance with the present invention, a set of golf club heads is disclosed. The set includes golf club heads with peripheral weights. The dimensions and configuration of at least the peripheral weights are changed from club-to-club along the set so that the center of gravity rises from the long irons to the short irons. By raising the center of gravity from the long irons to the short irons, a golfer will see a peak trajectory height along a line for each club head that is substantially more consistent along that line throughout the set than prior art clubs provide.

Assignee:

Acushnet Company - Fairhaven MA

International Classification:

A63B 5304

US Classification:

473332, 473342, 473350

Abstract:

An iron style golf club head comprising a substantially perimeter weighted club head, including the interposing of three inserts, a striking face insert, a dampening insert and a back insert. The dampening insert, preferably made of a lead alloy, is interposed between the other inserts, and provides for changes in club swing weight while also providing relief for vibration and acoustical variations. The striking face insert is preferably made from a stainless steel alloy and the back inset is preferably made from a carbon graphite. The dampening insert is maneuvered into varied positions to effect a change in the specific gravity of each club head of a golf club set.
