Golf club heads

Abstract

Disclosed golf club heads include a weight channel positioned in the sole and defining a path along the sole. A weight member positioned in the weight channel can be adjusted to any of a range of selectable positions to adjust mass properties of the golf club head. A fastener secures the weight member in any of the selectable positions, while the fastener itself, regardless of where the weight member is positioned along the path, is secured to the body at a fixed location that is independent of the position of the weight member along the path. Part of the weight channel and weight member can be covered by an overhanging portion of the sole, which can form a sit pad. The overhanging portion can be part of a composite sole insert.

1 . A golf club head comprising:
 a body defining an interior cavity, a sole defining a bottom portion of the golf club head, a crown defining a top portion of the golf club head, a face defining a forward portion of the golf club head, a rearward portion of the golf club head opposite the face, and a hosel;   a weight channel formed in the sole and defining a path along the sole, the path being oriented in a generally heel-toe direction, the weight channel defining a weight channel path axis, wherein a forward portion of the weight channel is covered by an overhang portion of the sole and at least a rearward portion of the weight channel is uncovered;   a weight member positioned in the weight channel, the weight member configured to be adjusted to any of a range of selectable positions along the path to adjust mass properties of the golf club head, wherein the weight member comprises a slot that is elongated in the generally heel-toe direction; and   a fastener that extends through the slot in the weight member and secures the weight member to the body in any of the selectable positions along the path, wherein when the weight member is in any of the selectable positions the fastener is secured to the body at a same fixed location on the body that is independent of the position of the weight member;   wherein the weight member is asymmetric about the weight channel path axis.
