Abstract: An iron-type golf club head comprises a face portion and a hosel portion which are integrally formed by forging or casting soft iron. The face portion has a face hardness hf (HV) which is defined by Vickers hardness at a depth of 4 mm from the hitting surface at a main impact point. The hosel portion has a reference hosel outer peripheral portion defining a hosel hardness hh (HV) which is an average value of Vickers hardness measured at positions around the hosel axis, and at a depth of 1 mm from the outer surface thereof. The hosel hardness hh is higher than the face hardness hf.
Abstract: A head includes a face portion, a crown portion, a sole portion, and a hosel portion. The crown portion includes a protruding portion on a crown outer surface. The protruding portion does not form any part of an outer contour line of the head in a front view of the head as viewed from a face side. The protruding portion forms an outer contour line of the head in a heel projection figure in which the head that is placed on a ground plane such that a shaft axis line is perpendicular to the ground plane and a face angle is 0° is viewed from a heel side along the ground plane. In this head, aerodynamic drag and lifting force at a position at which the shaft axis line becomes parallel to the ground plane during downswing can be increased. In this head, air resistance at impact can be suppressed.
Abstract: Provided is a pneumatic tire for which rolling resistance at high speed running is sufficiently reduced and durability is sufficiently improved. The pneumatic tire has a side portion, a thickness S (mm) of a rubber layer radially outside a carcass on the side portion at the maximum tire width position is 3 mm or less, the loss tangent of the rubber layer measured under the conditions of 70° C., a frequency of 10 Hz, an initial distortion of 5%, and a dynamic distortion rate of 1% is 0.15 or less, and when the cross-sectional width of the tire is Wt (mm) and the outer diameter is Dt (mm) when installed on a regular rim and the internal pressure is 250 kPa, the volume of the space occupied by the tire is the virtual volume V (mm3), the following (formula 1) and (formula 2) are satisfied. 1700?(Dt2×?/4)/Wt?2827.4??(formula 1) [(V+1.5×107)/Wt]?2.
Abstract: Provided is a pneumatic tire that has reduced rolling resistance during high-speed running as well as excellent durability performance. This pneumatic tire comprises a sidewall and a clinch section in each of a pair of side sections. When the loss tangent of the sidewall is tan ?sw and the loss tangent of the clinch section is tan ?c when measured under the conditions of 70° C., a frequency of 10 Hz, an initial strain of 5%, and a dynamic strain rate of 1%, then (tan ?sw+tan ?c)?0.3 and |tan ?sw?tan ?c|?0.07. When the cross-sectional width of the tire is Wt (mm) and the external diameter is Dt (mm) when the pneumatic tire is installed on a standardized rim and internal pressure is set to 250 kPa, and if the volume of space occupied by the tire is a virtual volume V (mm3), then (formula 1) and (formula 2) are satisfied. 1700?(Dt2×?/4)/Wt?2827.4??(formula 1) [(V+1.5×107)/Wt]?2.88×105??(formula 2).
Abstract: A tire 2 includes a pair of chafers 8 and a tag member 26. The chafer 8 comes into contact with a rim R. The tag member 26 includes an RFID tag 60. A state where a load equal to 50% of a normal load is applied to the tire 2 in the normal state and the tire 2 is brought into contact with a flat surface FS is a standard ground-contact state. In the standard ground-contact state, the RFID tag 60 is located between an axially outer end PRa of the rim R and a maximum width position PWs of the tire 2 in an axial direction, and is located between a radially outer end PRr of the rim R and the maximum width position PWs of the tire 2 in a radial direction.
Abstract: A pneumatic tire (1) includes: a tread portion (2) including a land portion (24) divided by a plurality of main grooves (22) formed on a tread surface (21); an inner liner (7) constituting a tire inner surface (7A) on an inner side of the tread portion (2); and a mount member (10) which is provided on the tire inner surface (7A), and to which electric equipment can be attached. In the pneumatic tire (1), Complex elastic modulus E*1 of a rubber composition constituting the mount member (10) is larger than complex elastic modulus E*2 of a rubber composition constituting the inner liner (7).
Abstract: A golf club includes a club shaft having a first end, a second end, and an inner peripheral surface defining an inner space of the club shaft, and a weight piece installed on a first end side of the club shaft. The weight piece includes an insertion portion located in the inner space, and an engagement portion located outside the club shaft to engage the first end. The insertion portion includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has an outer diameter smaller than the first inner diameter. The second portion includes a large diameter portion having an outer diameter larger than the first inner diameter in a state before being placed in the club shaft, and at least one rigidity-lowered portion that elastically deforms the second portion so that the outer diameter of the large diameter portion becomes smaller when receiving an external force.

Abstract: A tire abnormality determination system can include: a related information acquisition portion that acquires deterioration-related information that may exert influence on deterioration of a non-pneumatic tire mounted on a vehicle; a first determination processing portion that determines, based on the deterioration-related information, at least one of presence or absence of a sign of an abnormality in the non-pneumatic tire and presence or absence of the abnormality in the non-pneumatic tire; and an output processing portion that outputs a first determination result of the first determination processing portion to a predetermined output destination.
