Composite metal wood club
First Claim
1. A golf club head comprising:
- a body portion and a crown portion;
the body portion is composed of a first material having a density;
the crown portion is composed of a second material having a density that is less than the density of the first material; and
the crown portion includes an inner surface having a layer of titanium mesh vibration dampening material integrally juxtaposed with and covering substantially the entire under surface of the crown portion,wherein the attenuating material produces a reduction in noise of at least 28 percent over a frequency range between about 3800 Hz to 10,000 Hz at a swing speed of 90 mph.

Abstract
A metal wood golf club head adapted for attachment to a shaft, comprising of a body portion and a crown portion, each portion constructed of a different density material. Combining a high-density material in the body portion, with a low-density material in the crown portion, creates an ultra-low center of gravity relative to the geometric face center, resulting in higher launch angles and spin rate ratios. The material for the crown portion is preferably a composite. The crown portion comprises an inner surface layer of a vibration dampening and acoustical attenuating material. The transverse surfaces of the crown and body portions creating a gap that is filled with a shock absorption material such as putty or a rubber based structural adhesive.
