Tungsten Alloy Counterweight in Golf Club Head

Tungsten alloy counterweight has been used for weighting golf club head in order to gain better performance. The present club provides a golf club head with performance weighting through the use of a sole component composed of a tungsten alloy material.

The main body comprising a front portion, a crown portion, a partial toe portion, a partial heel portion, a partial rear portion and a partial sole portion is shown in the above picture. The main body is composed of a stainless-steel material and the minor body is composed of a tungsten alloy material. The tungsten alloy material comprising stainless steel and tungsten, which makes it perfect to counterbalance weight when hitting a ball.

In wood club heads, weights were attached to the sole in order to lower the center of gravity. The first metal woods had sufficient weight, however, the weight distribution deterred slightly from performance. The refinement of hollow metal woods with weighting on the sole improved the performance of these clubs. An example of such woods was the club that used a tungsten screw in the sole of each titanium club head body to vary the weight of the golf club.

Generally, by increasing the volume of the hollow club head can enlarge central portion of the ball striking face. If volume is increased, the attendant will often result in increased weight of the golf club head. Accordingly, in order to prevent an increase in the weight of the material constituting the club head in consideration of the use of much smaller proportion rather than the metal of the fiber-reinforced resin, tungsten alloy counterweight is added to the small portion of the places it occupied.
