Abstract:
A golf club head having elevated internal weighting that improves ball speed, reduces backspin, and increases launch angle is disclosed herein. In particular, the golf club head comprises a hollow body with a face, sole, and elevated weight bar, which is disposed inside the body and is fixed to heel and toe sides of the body, preferably with mechanical fasteners such as screws or bolts. The weight bar bridges a central portion of the sole, and a central section of the weight bar, which preferably comprises at least 50% of the overall mass of the weight bar, extends towards the face without actually making contact with the face. The sole also includes at least one slot extending perpendicular to the face and underneath the central section of the weight bar, the slot having a front-to-back length that is greater than a maximum front-to-back length of the weight bar.

Claim (Index 20):
A hybrid-type wood golf club head comprising:\n a metal alloy body comprising a sole, a hosel, a heel side, a toe side, a rear side, a face, an upper opening, and a hollow interior; a weight bar comprising a first end, a second end, a heel support section proximate the first end, a toe support section proximate the second end, a central section between the heel support section and the toe support section, an overall mass, and an overall width measured along a horizontal y-axis extending parallel with the face; and a carbon composite crown sized to close the upper opening, wherein the sole comprises first and second slots in communication with the hollow interior, wherein the weight bar is disposed within the hollow interior proximate the face, wherein the first end of the weight bar is connected to the heel side with a brazing material and the second end of the weight bar is connected to the toe side with a brazing material, wherein the central section bridges at least a central portion of the sole, extends towards the face without making contact with any portion of the face, has a first front-to-rear length designated as L 1 , and comprises at least 50% of an overall length of the weight bar, wherein the heel support section has a second front-to-rear length designated as L 2 , wherein the toe support section has a third front-to-rear length designated as L 3 , and wherein L 1 \u22652\u00d7L 2  and L 1 \u22652\u00d7L 3 .
