  • Publication number: 20080300066
    Abstract: A golf club head includes a head body and a striking plate. The head body has a front open end, and a limiting rib projecting inwardly from an inner wall face of the head body and proximate to the front open end. The limiting rib has two opposite first rib sections, and two opposite second rib sections interconnecting the first rib sections. Each second rib section has a thickness smaller than that of each first rib section. The striking plate covers the front open end, and abuts against front sides of the first and second rib sections. The striking plate has a sweet spot closer to the first rib sections than the second rib sections.
