Abstract
Embodiments of golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads are generally described herein. In one example, a golf club head may have a body portion having a front portion, a rear portion, a toe portion, a heel portion, a top portion, and a bottom portion. The golf club head may include a first plurality of weight ports in the bottom portion and a second plurality of weight ports in the bottom portion. The first plurality of weight ports may form a first discrete arc along the bottom portion. The second plurality of weight ports may form a second discrete arc along the bottom portion. The first plurality of weight ports and the second plurality weight ports may be separated by a gap. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.
