COMPOSITE METAL WOOD CLUB
First Claim
1. A golf club head comprising:
- a body portion and a crown portion;
the body portion is composed of titanium alloy having a density;
the crown portion is composed of a composite material having a density that is less than the density of the titanium alloy;
the body portion having an attachment ledge section;
the crown portion having an attachment section formed to overlay the attachment ledge section of the body portion; and
a shock absorbing gasket disposed between the attachment sections,wherein shock absorbing gasket material produces a reduction in noise of at least 28 percent over a frequency range between about 3800 Hz to 10,000 Hz at a club head speed of 90 mph.

Abstract
A metal wood golf club head adapted for attachment to a shaft, comprising of a body portion composed of titanium alloy and a graphite crown portion, each portion constructed of a different density material. Combining a high-density material in the body portion, with a low-density material in the crown portion, creates an ultra-low center of gravity relative to the geometric face center, resulting in higher launch angles and spin rate ratios. The body portion has an attachment ledge section and the crown portion has attachment section that overlays the attachment section of the body. A vibration dampening gasket is disposed between the attachment sections.
