Abstract:
Golf clubs and golf club heads having a weight member that is configurable in multiple positions to alter the performance characteristics of the golf club head are presented. In some examples, the weight member may be arranged in a sole of the golf club head and may include ends having different weighting characteristics. For instance, one end may be heavier or denser than another end of the weight member. The difference in weight characteristics may be due to different materials used to form the different ends, different construction of the ends, and the like. The position of the weight member may be adjusted to alter the performance characteristics of the golf club head. For instance, the weight member may be removed and rotated to position a heavier end where a lighter end was previously positioned.

Claim (Index 1):
A golf club head, comprising:\n a golf club head body having a front, a rear, a crown, a sole, a toe, a heel; a first recess formed in the sole, and a second recess formed in the sole, the first recess forming a first recess surface on the sole such that the first recess surface is offset from the sole toward the crown of the golf club head body, the second recess forming a second recess surface such that the second recess surface is offset from the first recess surface toward the crown of the golf club head body, the second recess extending only in a front to rear direction along the sole of the golf club head body; wherein the second recess consists of a first end and a second end, wherein the second recess has the first end having a width, the second end having a width, and a center portion having a width connecting the first end and the second end; wherein the width of the first end tapers in the front to rear direction from a maximum width to a minimum width; wherein the width of the second end tapers in the rear to front direction from a maximum width to a minimum width; wherein a maximum width of the center portion is less than the maximum width of both of the first and second ends; and an adjustable weight member configured to be received in the second recess, the adjustable weight member having a first end and a second end, wherein the adjustable weight member extends from the first end of the second recess to the second end of the second recess when received in the second recess, the first end having a visual appearance different than the second end.
