GOLF CLUB WITH ADJUSTABLE CENTER OF GRAVITY HEAD
First Claim
1. A golf club comprising:
- a shaft;
a head having a surface at an acute angle with respect to said shaft, said head having therein a track forming an arcuate, three-dimensional path along a back surface of the head;
a plurality of weights for positioning along said track; and
a mechanism for securing the weights at arbitrary positions along said track so as to customize at least one of center of gravity and moment of inertia of said head.

Abstract
A golf club having a head with a series of tracks forming a three-dimensional pattern; weights for positioning along channels; and a mechanism for securing the weights at positions along the channels so as to customize center of gravity and moment of inertia. The channels can all interconnect to allow a weight to be moved from one to another. The club can include a removable cover for at least a portion of the surface to cover the channels and the weights. The weights can comprise a spherical member disposed in a channel; a member external to a surface of the head; and a coupling between the spherical member and the external member to allow the spherical member and the external member to capture between them a wall in which a track is formed. The channels may be in the removable cover, or below the removable cover, in the head.

5. A golf club comprising:
-
a shaft; a head having a channel therein; at least one weight for positioning along said channel; and a mechanism for securing the at least one weight at arbitrary positions along said channel so as to customize at least one of center of gravity and moment of inertia of said head, said mechanism comprising; a first portion for connection to said weight; and a second portion configured to move said first portion to move said weight. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
