GOLF CLUB HEAD
First Claim
1. A golf club head comprising:
- a body having a face, a crown and a sole together defining an interior cavity,the body having a channel located on the sole and extending generally from a heel end of the body to a toe end of the body, wherein the distance between a first vertical plane intersecting a center of the face and a second vertical plane bisecting the channel is less than about 50 mm over a full length of the channel;
at least one weight member movably positioned within the channel, wherein a position of at least one weight member within the channel is able to be adjusted.

Abstract
A golf club head comprises a sole, a recessed sole port in the sole; and a rotatably adjustable sole piece adapted to be at least partially received within the sole port and comprising a central body having a plurality of contact surfaces adapted to contact the sole port and being offset from each other along a central axis extending through the central body of the sole piece. The sole piece can be positioned at least partially within the sole port at five or more rotational and axial positions with respect to the central axis, wherein at each rotational position, at least one of said contact surfaces of the central body contacts the sole port to set the axial position of the sole piece. The sole port and/or the sole piece can be generally pentagonal in shape.

13. A golf club head comprising:
-
a body having a face, a crown and a sole together defining an interior cavity; the body having a channel located on the sole and extending generally from a heel end of the body to a toe end of the body; a weight member movably positioned within the channel such that a position of the weight member within the channel is able to be adjusted; wherein the face includes a center face location that defines the origin of a coordinate system in which an x-axis is tangential to the face at the center face location and is parallel to a ground plane when the body is in a normal address position, a y-axis extends perpendicular to the x-axis and is also parallel to the ground plane, and a z-axis extends perpendicular to the ground plane, wherein a positive x-axis extends toward the heel portion from the origin, a positive y-axis extends rearwardly from the origin, and a positive z-axis extends upwardly from the origin; wherein a maximum x-axis position adjustment range of the weight member (Max Δ
x) is greater than 50 mm and a maximum y-axis position adjustment range of the weight member (Max Δ
y) is less than 40 mm. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A golf club head comprising:
-
a body having a face, a crown and a sole together defining an interior cavity; the body having a channel located on the sole and extending generally from a heel end of the body to a toe end of the body; a weight member movably positioned within the channel such that a position of the weight member within the channel is able to be adjusted, thereby adjusting a location of a center of gravity of the body; wherein the face includes a center face location that defines the origin of a coordinate system in which an x-axis is tangential to the face at the center face location and is parallel to a ground plane when the body is in a normal address position, a y-axis extends perpendicular to the x-axis and is also parallel to the ground plane, and a z-axis extends perpendicular to the ground plane, wherein a positive x-axis extends toward the heel portion from the origin, a positive y-axis extends rearwardly from the origin, and a positive z-axis extends upwardly from the origin; wherein adjustment of the weight member provides a maximum x-axis adjustment range of the position of the center of gravity (Max Δ
CGx) that is greater than 2 mm and a maximum y-axis adjustment range of the center of gravity (Max Δ
CGy) that is less than 3 mm. - View Dependent Claims (20)
