Golf Club and Golf Club Head Structures

Abstract

A golf club head has a body defining a ball striking face. The body further has a first leg extending away from the ball striking face and a second leg extending away from the ball striking face wherein a void is defined between the first leg and the second leg. The body further defines a cover that extends over the void. The golf club head may further have support structures and adjustable weight members.

         6 . The golf club head of  claim 5  wherein the void defined between the first leg and the second leg is generally v-shaped, wherein the first leg extends towards the rear of the body proximate the heel, and wherein the second leg extends towards the rear of the body proximate the toe. 
     
     
         7 . The golf club head of  claim 5  wherein the first moveable weight is supported on a side of the first leg and the second moveable weight is supported on a side of the second leg, the side of the first leg confronting the side of the second leg. 
     
     
         8 . The golf club head of  claim 1  wherein the first moveable weight is supported on the first leg and further comprising a second moveable weight supported on the second leg, wherein the first moveable weight has a first slot therein, and the first leg has an opening receiving a first fastener therethrough, the first fastener positioned in and moveable along the first slot between the first position and the second position of the first moveable weight, and wherein the second moveable weight has a second slot therein, and the second leg has an opening receiving a second fastener therethrough, the first fastener positioned in and moveable along the second slot between the first position and the second position of the second moveable weight. 
     
     
         9 . The golf club head of  claim 4  wherein the first leg defines a first passageway therein and the second leg defines a second passageway therein, the first moveable weight positioned in the first passageway and the second moveable weight positioned in the second passageway. 
     
     
         10 . A golf club head comprising:
 a body defining a ball striking face, the body further having a first leg extending away from the ball striking face and a second leg extending away from the ball striking face wherein a void is defined between the first leg and the second leg, the body further having a cover that extends over the void, the body further having a track defined therein; and   a weight member moveably supported on the track.   
     
     
         11 . The golf club head of  claim 10  wherein the track is defined on one of the first leg and the second leg. 
     
     
         12 . The golf club head of  claim 11  wherein the body defines an interface area generally between the first leg and the second leg, the track defined at the interface area. 
     
     
         13 . The golf club head of  claim 10  wherein the track comprises a plurality of tracks wherein a weight member is moveable supported in each track. 
     
     
         14 . The golf club head of  claim 10  wherein the body defines an inclined surface extending from proximate a sole to proximate a crown, the track positioned on the inclined surface, wherein the weight member is moveable along the track between a position proximate the sole and a position proximate the crown. 
     
     
         15 . A golf club head, comprising:
 a golf club head body having a front, a rear, a top, a sole, a toe and a heel;   a v-shaped void formed in the rear of the golf club head body, the void extending from the rear of the golf club head body toward a central region of the golf club head body and having a greater width along a rear edge of the golf club head body than at the central region of the golf club head body, the void extending from the sole the golf club head body toward the top of the golf club head body; and   an adjustable weight arranged within the v-shaped void, the adjustable weight being positionable in a first position providing a first weight arrangement and a second position providing a second weight arrangement.   
     
     
         16 . The golf club head of  claim 15  wherein the adjustable weight is accessible via the v-shaped void. 
     
     
         17 . The golf club head of  claim 15  wherein the v-shaped void defines a first leg and a second leg and the adjustable weight includes a first weight on the first leg and a second weight on the second leg, the first weight being different from the second weight. 
     
     
         18 . A golf club head comprising:
 a body defining a ball striking face, the body further having a first leg extending away from the ball striking face and a second leg extending away from the ball striking face wherein a void is defined between the first leg and the second leg, the body further defining a cover that extends over the void, the body defining a receptacle extending into the body, and a weight member positioned in the receptacle.   
     
     
         19 . The golf club head of  claim 18  wherein the receptacle has internal threads, the weight member being a threaded member dimensioned to be screwed into the receptacle. 
     
     
         20 . The golf club head of  claim 18  wherein the receptacle has a longitudinal axis, and wherein the weight member is received by the receptacle along the longitudinal axis. 
     
     
         21 . The golf club head of  claim 20  wherein the longitudinal axis is generally transverse to the ball striking face. 
     
     
         22 . The golf club head of  claim 20  wherein the longitudinal axis is generally parallel to the ball striking face. 
     
     
         23 . The golf club head of  claim 20  wherein the longitudinal axis is positioned at an angle with respect to the ball striking face.
