Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A golf club head with a multi-level badge is disclosed herein. More specifically, the golf club head in accordance with the present invention is an iron type golf club head with a multi-level badge that on one level contacts a rear surface of the striking face of the golf club head, and a second level of the multi-level badge contacts a rear surface of a cavity created by the chassis of the golf club head. The gap created between the striking face of the golf club head and the rear of the chassis could be filled with a fluid that has a temperature variable viscosity, providing vibration attenuation.

What is claimed is: 1. A golf club head comprising: a striking face portion located at a frontal portion of said golf club head; a chassis, connected to an aft portion of said striking face portion, creating a rear cavity having an opening, wherein said opening provides access to a rear surface of said striking face portion, wherein said rear surface of said striking face portion and a lower frontal portion of a muscle portion of said chassis creates a gap and a void; wherein said gap is placed above and connected to said void, and a fluid, with temperature variable viscosity, at least partially fills said gap as well as said void, connecting said gap and said void; wherein said fluid contacts said rear surface of said striking face and said lower frontal portion of said muscle portion of said chassis; and wherein said fluid has a viscosity of about 4,125 cP (mPa·s) at 300° F., and a viscosity of about 2,010 cP (MPa·s) at 350° F. 2. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein said gap has a distance of between about 1.0 mm to about 3.0 mm. 3. The golf club head of claim 2 , wherein said gap has a distance of between about 1.5 to about 2.5 mm. 4. The golf club head of claim 3 , wherein said gap has a distance of between about 1.5 mm. 5. The golf club head of claim 2 , wherein said fluid has a mass of between about 2.0 grams to about 8.0 grams. 6. The golf club head of claim 5 , wherein said fluid has a mass of between about 2.5 grams to about 7.5 grams. 7.
