Abstract
A golf club includes a golf club head having a body defining an interior cavity. The body includes a sole, a crown and a skirt positioned around a periphery between the sole and crown. A face defines a forward portion of the club head and includes a striking surface width and a hosel defining a hosel bore. A channel and a recessed port are positioned in the sole. The channel extends substantially in a heel-to-toe direction. A sleeve is mounted on a tip end of the golf club shaft and is adapted to be inserted into the hosel bore. A fastener has a shaft portion extending through a passage and a head portion located in the recessed port. Selectively attaching the sleeve adjusts at least one of a loft angle and a lie angle of the club head.

22. A golf club head, comprising:
-
a club head body defining an interior cavity, a sole defining a bottom portion of the club head, a crown defining a top portion of the club head, a face defining a forward portion of the club head and including a striking surface, and a rear portion opposite the face; wherein the club head body has a head origin defined as a position on the striking surface at approximately a geometric center of the striking surface, the head origin including a head origin x-axis, a head origin y-axis, and a head origin z-axis; wherein the head origin x-axis is tangential to the striking surface and generally parallel to a ground plane when the club head is in an address position, further wherein a positive x-axis extends towards a heel portion of the club head body; wherein the head origin y-axis extends perpendicular to the head origin x-axis and generally parallel to the ground plane when the club head is in the address position, further wherein a positive y-axis extends rearward from the striking surface and through the rear portion of the club head body; wherein the head origin z-axis extends perpendicular to the ground plane, and perpendicular to both the head origin x-axis and head origin y-axis when the club head is in the address position, further wherein a positive z-axis extends generally upward from the head origin; and a plurality of weight ports positioned in the sole of the golf club head, comprising; a first weight port configured to retain a first weight, the first weight port defining a first central axis that extends through the sole and the crown of the golf club head; a second weight port configured to retain a second weight, the second weight port defining a second central axis that extends through the sole and the crown of the golf club head; and a third weight port configured to retain a third weight, the third weight port defining a third central axis that extends through the sole and the crown of the golf club head; wherein the first weight port is positioned a first distance from the head origin, the second weight port is positioned a second distance from the head origin, and the third weight port is positioned a third distance from the head origin; and wherein, as measured along the head origin y-axis, the first distance is less than the second distance, and the first distance is also less than the third distance. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
