Interesting Patent for Iron Faces Issues to Pixl Golf… Are They Still in Business?
This week an interesting patent issued to a golf company that I did not think was even still in business, namely Pixl Golf (click here for an article on the origins of the company, and click here for a 2003 article on Pixl irons). The patent is USPN 7364513 titled “Golf Club Head with Inserts for Impact Face,” which describes the invention as:
A striking face for golf clubs, such as a driver, iron or putter comprising a plurality of bars retained in the club head body and forming the striking surface. The bars which comprise the striking face according to the invention may be designed and arranged to provide enhanced performance of a golf club. The bars may also be machined economically before assembly of the golf club head to provide a precision grooved striking face at reduced cost.
Check out these drawings that nicely illustrate the concept.
Interesting concept, but is it enough to revitalize Pixl Golf?
