Golf club head
First Claim
1. A golf club head comprising:
- a body comprising a top surface, a bottom surface generally opposed to the top surface, opposing first and second lateral surfaces, and a front surface;
a first side extension section configured to be removably coupled to the body to position the first side extension section adjacent to and substantially projecting outwardly relative to the first lateral surfaces of the body;
a second side extension section configured to be removably coupled to the body to position the second side extension section adjacent to and substantially projecting outwardly relative to the second lateral surface of the body; and
the first and second extension sections being removable from the body independently of one another, wherein the first side extension section comprises a first body engaging surface configured to conform to the first lateral surface and wherein the second side extension section comprises a second body engaging surface configured to conform to the second lateral surface and the first body engaging surface is configured to conform to the first lateral surface when the first side extension section is in a first orientation and wherein the first body engaging surface is configured to conform and attach to the second lateral surface when the first side extension section is in a second orientation, wherein the second body engaging surface is configured to conform to the second lateral surface when the second side extension section is in a first orientation and wherein the second body engaging surface is configured to conform and attach to the first lateral surface when the second side extension section is in a second orientation, the first side extension section being removably mountable to the body with the first body engaging surface engaging the first lateral surface when the first side extension section is in the first orientation, the first side extension section being removably mountable to the body with the first body engaging surface engaging the second lateral surface when the first side extension section is in the second orientation, the second side extension section being removably mountable to the body with the second body engaging surface engaging the second lateral surface when the second side extension section is in the first orientation, and the second side extension section being removably mountable to the body with the second body engaging surface engaging the first lateral surface when the second side extension is in the second orientation, whereby the first and second side extension sections are interchangeably mountable to the first and second lateral surfaces, wherein each of the first and second side extension sections are asymmetric in a front to back direction.

Abstract
A golf club head has a main body and at least two side members such as wings. The wings can be configured to be removably coupled to side portions of the main body. The wings can be reconfigured with respect to the main body. For example: the positions of wings relative to the main body can be swapped; the wings can be rotated (e.g., flipped over); and/or one or more wings can be replaced with other wings. The wings can be of varying sizes, shapes, and constructions, including generally symmetrical and generally asymmetrical shapes, and can possess generally homogenous or generally non-homogenous densities. Varying configurations of the main body and wings can allow for a golf club head having varying properties, e.g., shape, size, appearance, weight, and center of gravity.
