  • Publication number: 20250073546
    Abstract: Described herein is a hollow body iron-type golf club head having a sole and ballast configured to relieve stress within a forward region of the sole. In a first configuration, the golf club head comprises a ballast undercut for relieving stress. In other configurations, the ballast undercut is combined with additional stress relief features, such as a cascading sole near the face sole juncture, for further reductions to face thickness. In further configurations, the ballast defines a recess for receiving a ballast weight having a density greater than the body, thereby improving mass properties of the golf club head.
