GOLF CLUB HEAD WITH LOW DENSITY CROWN
First Claim
1. A golf club head, comprising:
- a first portion comprising a sole, a face, and a plurality of elongated support members extending from an upper portion of the face to a rear portion of the sole, wherein the first portion comprises a first material having a first density; and
a second portion comprising a crown and a skirt coupled to the sole, the face, and the support members, wherein the second portion comprises a second material having a second density, and wherein about 50 percent and about 90 percent of the crown and the skirt are formed of the second material,wherein a ratio of the first density to the second density is about 2;
1 or greater, and wherein the plurality of elongated support members comprise one or more recesses that correspond to one or more protrusions formed in the second portion.

Abstract
A golf club head and a method for forming a golf club head are disclosed. The golf club head may include a low density portion and a high density portion. The high density portion includes at least a sole, a face, and at least one support member. The support member is operatively connected to the face and the sole, and maintains the structural integrity of the golf club head. The low density portion comprises the crown and the skirt of the club head. When the low density portion is attached to the at least one support member, a golf club head may be formed. In this manner, the center of gravity of the club head may be lowered and moved away from the face of the club.
