  • Patent number: 7662051
    Abstract: Present invention is relative to a golf head. The golf head includes a main part. The main part that is made of metal includes a body portion and a neck portion. A hitting part, which is made of metal that is harder than the main part, has a face portion and a bottom portion. The bottom portion that extrudes from the bottom of the face portion is modeled with the face portion integral whole. The hitting part connects with the body portion of the main part by the rim. The back of the face portion and the top of the bottom portion, which closes to the face portion, suspend in midair. The connective position of the body portion and the rear of the bottom portion crosses the central line of the bottom of the golf head and is partial to rear.
