ABSTRACT:
A golf club head construction in which the head is transparent from front to back, over at least a major portion of the face of the head, the transparent portion being surrounded on at least three sides with a structure which supports, or is integral with, the transparent portion. The supporting structure in the preferred embodiment comprises the toe, sole and heel of the head which in conjunction with each other comprise a generally U-shaped recess for the transparent section. The transparent section is removably insertable into the U-shaped supporting recess and is positioned therein by complimentary configurations such as parallel opposed tongue-and-groove side members and a cooperating tongue-and-groove bottom member. The supporting structure may be formed of a single piece of material having a density sufficient to provide conventional and proper weight and balance to the club, such as a non-transparent metal, or the supporting structure may be comprised of a plurality of separable elements individually positionable or removable for balance and weight adjustments. To facilitate change between a single-piece supporting structure or a multiple-section supporting structure, a hollow receiving cover may be used to enclose all portions, including the transparent section. The cover is preferably made of a transparent material, at least at the portion covering the transparent section of the head.
