  • Publication number: 20070026961
    Abstract: A golf club head includes a face portion disposed on a front face of a golf club head for hitting a golf ball and a sole portion formed on a lower portion of the golf club head. The sole portion includes a recessed deformation portion. The deformation portion includes a deformation-starting section, a deformation-ending section, and a maximum deformation section between the deformation-starting section and the deformation-ending section. A thickness of the deformation-starting section and a thickness of the deformation-ending section decrease toward the maximum deformation section so that the maximum deformation section has the smallest thickness allowing elastic deformation, thereby increasing elastic deforming capability of the sole portion.
