Method, apparatus, and system for golf product reconfiguration
First Claim
1. A weight element for slideable communication along first and second ribs of a weight path of a golf club head, the weight element comprising:
- a first weight portion;
a second weight portion; and
a fastener extending through the first weight portion and at least partially into the second weight portion;
wherein;
the first and second weight portions are configured so that the first and second ribs may be interposed therebetween;
the fastener is configured to independently rotate relative to the first and second weight portions, the rotation of the fastener causing the first and second weight portions to move toward each other in a manner capable of compressing contact surfaces of the first and second weight portions against the first and second ribs to thereby releasably secure the weight element to the golf club head; and
the contact surface of the first weight portion comprises an angular contour including surface portions angled to form at least one non-zero degree vertex.

15. A weight element for slideable communication along first and second ribs of a weight path of a golf club head, the weight element comprising:
-
a first weight portion comprising a non-threaded aperture; a second weight portion comprising a threaded recess; and a fastener extending through the non-threaded aperture of the first weight portion and at least partially into the threaded recess of the second weight portion, the fastener comprising a threaded screw, wherein; the first and second weight portions are configured so that the first and second ribs may be interposed therebetween; the fastener is configured to independently rotate relative to the first and second weight portions to cause the first and second weight portions to move toward each other, thereby being capable of compressing contact surfaces of the first and second weight portions against the first and second ribs and releasably securing the weight element to the golf club head; and the contact surface of the first weight portion comprises an angular contour including surface portions angled to form at least one non-zero degree vertex. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
