ABSTRACT:
Inertially tailored golf club heads. A location for a center of gravity (CG) of a golf club head and magnitudes and directions of the principal moments of inertia of the golf club head are selected, and mass is distributed within the golf club head such that the center of gravity of the golf club head is located at the selected center of gravity location, and such that the principal moments of inertia of the golf club head have the selected magnitudes and directions.
