First Claim
Patent Images
1. A golf club head comprising:
- a face;
a crown;
a sole;
a hollow tube;
a cap screw; and
a cartridge comprising a first material having a first specific gravity and a second material having a second specific gravity that is at least three times the value of the first specific gravity,wherein the tube is disposed within a hollow interior of the golf club head and extends from the crown to the sole,wherein the cartridge is sized to fit within the tube,wherein the tube is accessible via an opening in one of the crown and the sole,wherein the cartridge is compressed between the crown and the sole,wherein the cap screw places a compression load on the cartridge that exceeds 50 lbs,wherein the tube is in tension between the crown and the sole, andwherein changing the orientation of the carrier within the tube changes the location of the golf club head'"'"'s center of gravity along a vertical Z axis.
