  • Patent number: 5851160
    Abstract: An enlarged metalwood golf club head, including a hollow body and a weight pad. The hollow body includes an inner cavity surrounded by sole portion, an impact face, a heel portion, a toe portion, a rear face portion joining the heel portion to the toe portion and a crown portion joining the impact face, the toe portion, the heel portion and the rear face portion. The heel portion includes an opening for the introduction and connection of a shaft. The opening defines an axis. A weight pad is located within the cavity of the body along the sole portion so that the center of gravity of the golf club head is located beneath the center of the impact face and closer to the heel portion than the toe portion. Desirably, the metal head has a size and a shape such that the head has a high moment of inertia about the vertical axis y passing through the center of gravity so that the head has increased resistance to horizontal rotation upon off-centered strokes.
