Abstract: An improved sole contour for a wedge golf club head is provided comprised of one or more V-shaped cuts (16) into the sole of said club head creating multiple bounce sole contours (26) for sand play, while eliminating the dangerously raised leading edge (28) that limits the utility for play of conventional sand wedge golf clubs. Said V-shaped cuts (16) are made substantially parallel to the grooves of the club face (12), and the more forward surface (24) created by any V-shaped cut (16) is substantially parallel to the impact surface (12) of the club head, while the rearward surface (26) is employed to provide whatever bounce surfaces (14), shapes, and angles (b) that are desired for play.

Abstract: The present invention provides a critical design element for the sole (20) of a golf shoe that has been heretofore overlooked. This novel improvement is provided by precisely defining a previously unknown proper angle (26) of inclination at 4.5 degrees for the height of the heel area (24) of the sole above the ball of the foot area (22) of the sole. This better balanced “foot print” permits better traction during the golf swing by means of more of the sole being in contact with the ground. More importantly, the present invention defines an improved “platform” angle of inclination for playing golf that provides proper posture, proper balance, optimum body position versus the ball position, enhanced weight distribution for better traction, and better short game posture.
