  • Patent number: 6569031
    Abstract: A sole of a head is inclined upwardly toward a side of a hosel section. A proximal section of the hosel section, which is continuous to a top, is set to be low. Accordingly, the weight of the head on the side of the hosel section is reduced, while the weight is distributed to circumferential portions of the head. Thus, the moment of inertia is set to be increased, and the sweet area is substantially enlarged.

  • Patent number: 6494790
    Abstract: A golf club head includes a face having a height ranging from 24 to 32 mm. The ratio W/H of the width W of a sole to the height H of the face is in the range from 1.5 to 2.2. The distance Y from a straight line along the central axis of a hosel to the end of a heel is in the range from 11 to 15 mm. The golf club head thus constructed is capable of hitting the ball over a sufficient distance in a good direction.
