  • Patent number: 11504587
    Abstract: A golf club head has a hollow therein and comprises a face portion, a crown portion and a sole portion. The face portion comprises a central zone including a face center, and a peripheral zone surrounding the central zone. Each of the central zone and the peripheral zone has a flexural stiffness defined by E×t3/12, wherein E is the Young's modulus (GPa) and t is the thickness (mm) of the zone concerned. The ratio sc/sp of the flexural stiffness Sc of the central zone to the flexural stiffness sp of the peripheral zone is 5.0 to 55.0.

  • Patent number: 10870041
    Abstract: A hollow golf club head comprises a face portion having a club face for hitting a ball, and a main body portion including a crown wall, a side wall and a sole wall which extend from the face portion toward the rear of the head. At least one of the walls of the main body portion is provided with a folded portion for facilitating a partial elastic deformation of the main body portion when the face portion hits a ball. The folded portion includes a first folded portion and a second folded portion each extending in the front-back direction of the head while swinging in the thickness direction of the wall. The first folded portion and the second folded portion are continuous with each other and extend along the peripheral edge of the club face, and have different phases in the swing.
