  • Patent number: 9687703
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a high-strength golf iron head with a thin striking faceplate includes placing a shell mold onto a rotary table. At least one metal ingot is placed into a crucible portion of the shell mold and melts in a vacuum environment. The rotary table rotates to cause the molten metal to flow into a cavity portion of the shell mold. The rotating shaft is slowly stopped, and the shell mold is removed after pouring. The shell mold is destroyed after the molten metal cools and solidifies, obtaining a casting. A cast product portion is separated from the casting to obtain at least one golf iron head subsequently treated with heat treatment to provide a striking faceplate of the golf iron head with a tensile strength of 280-340 ksi, an elongation of 4%-20%, and a minimum thickness of 1.4-1.8 mm excluding a groove depth of the striking faceplate.

  • Patent number: 9687704
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a high-strength blade-type golf iron head with a thin blade includes placing a shell mold onto a rotary table. At least one metal ingot is placed into a crucible portion of the shell mold and is heated to melt in a vacuum environment. The rotary table rotates to cause the molten metal to flow into a cavity portion of the shell mold. The rotating shaft is slowly stopped, and the shell mold is removed after pouring. The shell mold is destroyed after the molten metal cools and solidifies, obtaining a casting. A cast product portion is separated from the casting to obtain at least one blade-type golf iron head having the blade with a minimum thickness of 3.5-5.0 mm. The weight of the blade-type golf iron head is reduced by 0.9-2.5%, and the center of gravity of the blade-type golf iron head is lowered by 0.2-0.75 mm.

  • Publication number: 20080020862
    Abstract: A golf club head comprising a striking plate, a shell together with the striking plate to form a main body, and a power zone disposed on the shell is provided. The power zone satisfies equations that (S/W)=4˜40 and ((d1+d2)/d1)=1.6˜6, wherein S is a distance from a center of the striking plate to an edge of the power zone, W is a width of the power zone, d1 is a thickness of the shell, and d2 is a thickness of the power zone. By forming the power zone on the main body, the coefficient of reaction of the golf club head can be enhanced. Moreover, the contact time between the golf ball and the striking plate as using the golf club head to hit the ball can be prolonged. Therefore, the effect of ball controlling and hitting is improved.
