Nike’s New Patent App Might Have The Answer
Nike Golf is filing for patents at an incredible rate of late. And if they’re able to get even 1/2 of these through the system successfully….they will have a damn large chunk of patent real estate in their portfolio. Their latest patent app is once again all about allowing the golfer more adjustment capabilities….seems like most golf club apps are nowadays.
Lots Of Possibilities
Yes…the drawings are crude but look past the screws and odd shaped faces and think about uses for this app. This app could be used in many different ways…one of those ways would allow the golfer the ability to change from playing a blade one day to a cavity back the next. Or maybe allow him to arrange his set any way that suits him best. Maybe you just want a more forgiving 3-iron but blades for the rest of your set. Or maybe you would like to change out the back to have more weight towards just the heel or maybe the toe…this could all be an option with the claims covered in this most recent Nike Golf patent app.
So take a look at the patent app link below and let Nike know what you think about their newest idea!

It doesn’t seem like most get the point. The driver, fairway woods and some hybrids are adjustable. Nike is securing patents to provide them an advantage in the future. There are other things that can be done with this besides adjustability. An example is being able to switch out a club face that has worn down and no longer has the grooves it used to. Or switching from V to U grooves when not playing competitions which some recreational golfers prefer.
I don’t mind club manufacturers taking out patents. Without them many golfers would not be getting the kind of yardage and larger sweet spots found in today’s equipment. Many of you are right that most people don’t take the time to develop a decent golf swing. This was pointed out in old Warner Brothers movies of Bobby Jones. However, I don’t particularly care if people don’t want to take the time to develop a good swing. It gives others a competitive advantage so if they want to try and buy a better game it will only get them so far and that is going to be a mediocre golfer.
