Abstract

Disclosed is a golf club head which enables to improve a direction of a hit ball while assuring a carry and run of the ball corresponding to a head speed and a position at which the ball is hit on a face part, and enables to assure a stable direction of a hit ball while realizing a stable carry and run of the ball even if the ball is hit at a position other than the sweet spot. More specifically, in the golf club head, center of figure Cf of the face part roughly coincides with sweet spot Ss which is a point of intersection of the face part and a perpendicular line dropped from the center of gravity of the head toward the face part, and roll radius R 2 of the face part at a position distance Z apart from center of figure Cf of the face part along vertical axis Lz fulfils a predetermined conditional equation, provided that a moment of inertia around an axis orthogonal to a vertical plane containing sweet spot Ss and a center of gravity of the head is Ix, a distance from the sweet spot to the center of gravity of the head is Yg, and a loft angle is θ 0 .

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A golf club head comprising:
 a face part having a curved surface and being a ball-hitting surface;   a crown part connecting to an upper edge of said face part and composing an upper part; and   a sole part connecting to a lower edge of said face part and composing a lower part, and   satisfying a requirement that a center of figure of said face part roughly coincide with a sweet spot which is a point of intersection of said face part and a perpendicular line dropped from a center of gravity of the head toward said face part.   
     
     
         2 . The golf club head according to  claim 1 , wherein bulge radius R 1  of said face part fulfils the following conditional Equation 1, provided that a moment of inertia around a vertical axis is Iz and a distance from the sweet spot to the center of gravity of the head is Yg.
