CG HEIGHT ADJUSTABILITY BY CONFORMAL CROWN WEIGHTING
First Claim
1. A golf club head comprising:
- a face component comprising a face component contact surface;
a sole;
a crown; and
a flexible weight comprising a first front edge, a width, a length, a rear edge, and at least one cutout,wherein the flexible weight comprises a polymer having a specific gravity value of 1.8 to 4.2,wherein at least one of the sole and the crown comprises a second front edge, an aft edge, and an edge support structure,wherein the flexible weight is retained within the edge support structure, andwherein the length of the flexible weight is greater than the width of the flexible weight.

Abstract
A golf club head comprising a crown with an edge support structure and a flexible, conformal weight sized to fit within the edge support structure is disclosed herein. The edge support structure preferably is disposed on an internal surface of the crown so that the conformal weight is invisible when the golf club head is viewed at address. The conformal weight can be removed to adjust the vertical center of gravity of the club head, and preferably is oriented in a front-to-back direction along the club head'"'"'s X-axis. The conformal weight preferably is composed of a high-density polymeric material with a specific gravity ranging from 1.8 to 4.2.
