Patent Images
1. A golf club head comprising:
- a relatively thin shell comprising a plurality of walls that collectively form a hollow body with a substantially empty or voided cavity, wherein one or more of said walls comprises a striking face configured to strike a golf ball;
a plurality of weights detachably secured to said shell of said club head, each of said plurality of weights being located at a readily user-accessible location along at least one wall of said shell for shifting said center of gravity of said golf club head relative to said striking face;
wherein said location of each of said plurality of weights is selected from a group of locations on said shell of said golf club head, comprising;
a first location near a rear of said club head, left of a center-line of said head;
a second location near said rear of said club head, right of said center-line of said head; and
a third location near the front of said club head; and
wherein repositioning of said plurality of weights between said first, second and third locations to shift said center of gravity of said golf club head relative to said striking face varies a tendency of a golf ball hit by said striking face to fly along generally fading, neutral and drawing trajectories.
