Published App of the Week – Acushnet’s Explosion Welding Multi-Material Club Face

The published US patent application of the week (January 11, 2007) goes to Acushnet’s multi-material club face patent application (Pub. No. US2007/0010346). The application is directed to joining a striking surface to a club head, constructed of a different material, using solid state bonding (in this case explosion welding). There is no doubt that material joining technology will take club head design and construction to the next level.
