TODAY’S PATENT – GOLF CLUB HEAD

The said invention (US11383138B2) was invented by Scott A. Carlyle, Sharon J. Park, and Brian D. Schielke, patented by USPTO on July 12^th, 2022. Currently, it stands assigned to Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd

The golf club head has a striking face that contains several scorelines, including a first scoreline and a second scoreline positioned next to it. The striking face also has many auxiliary grooves; each positioned far from the scorelines. The objective of this invention is to boost the performance of golf club heads by enhancing the striking face’s capacity to generate spin on a golf ball. Traditional scorelines and surface textures are restricted by USGA standards and are susceptible to wear and tear. This invention tackles these challenges by adjusting surface textures to enhance performance for different shot types and specialized interactions with golf balls.

The golf club head of the invention is distinguished by a distinctive visage that incorporates scorelines and auxiliary channels. The concentrations and trajectories of these channels are designed to optimize rotation in various regions, including the central, heel, and toe. The design enhances the interaction between the golf ball and the striking face, thereby overcoming the constraints of traditional scorelines and textures.
