Abstract:
Some embodiments include a golf club head. The golf club head includes a front body having a front body front portion with a front body front surface and having a front body rear portion, and includes a rear body having a rear body front portion, a rear body rear portion, and multiple protrusions. The golf club head is configured such that (i) when the front body front surface strikes a golf ball with a first amount of force, the front body deflects toward the rear body with a first amount of deflection, and (ii) when the front body front surface strikes the golf ball with a second amount of force less than the first amount of force, the front body deflects toward the rear body with a second amount of deflection greater than the first amount of deflection. Other embodiments of related club heads and methods are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 1):
A golf club head comprising:\n a top end and a bottom end opposite the top end; a front end and a rear end opposite the front end; a toe end and a heel end opposite the toe end; a front body comprising: a front body front portion comprising a front body front surface; and a front body rear portion opposite the front body front portion and comprises a front body rear surface, the front body front portion located closer to the front end than the front body rear portion; a rear body comprising: a rear body front portion comprising a rear body front surface; and a rear body rear portion opposite the rear body front portion, the rear body rear portion located closer to the rear end than the rear body front portion; and multiple protrusions; wherein: each protrusion of the multiple protrusions comprises a first end and a second end opposite the first end; the second end of each protrusion of the multiple protrusions is coupled only to the front body rear surface at the front body rear portion and extends away from the front body rear portion toward the rear body front portion; wherein each protrusion of the multiple protrusions has a length measured as the distance from the first end of each protrusion to the second end of the each protrusion; wherein each protrusion of the multiple protrusions comprises a solid slat; wherein each of the solid slat has a width dimension measured laterally from the toe end to the heel end of the golf club head; wherein each of the solid slat has a thickness dimension orthogonal to the width dimension; and the golf club head is configured such that: when the second end of each protrusion of the multiple protrusions is coupled only to the front body rear portion at the front body rear surface, and when the front body front surface strikes a golf ball with a first amount of force, the multiple protrusions deflect toward the front body with a first amount of deflection.
