  • Patent number: 7500925
    Abstract: The golf club head (14) of the present invention has a face portion (24) for striking a golf ball, a crown portion (18) connected to the face portion (24), and a sole portion (22) connected to the face portion (24). The ratio of either lower of a first equivalent rigidity of a crown member (18) and a second equivalent rigidity of a sole member (22) to the higher is equal to or less than 0.75. The present invention provides a golf club (10) provided with the hollow golf club head (14) capable of increasing the carry of a golf ball based on a technique for increasing the carry of a golf ball other than conventional ones such as adjustment of the loft angle and reduction in the thickness of the striking surface, and provides a method of designing such a hollow golf club head as well.

  • Patent number: 7402113
    Abstract: A golf club head and a golf club provided with the golf club head. The head has outer shell structure portions including a hosel portion, a face portion, a sole portion, a crown portion, and a side portion and a joining portion where a crown member used in the crown portion is bonded to a member used in another outer shell structure portion. The member to be used as the crown member has an equivalent rigidity not more than 0.8 times as high as that of a sole member used in the sole portion where the equivalent rigidity of a member used in any one of the outer shell structure portions is defined as the product of the thickness of the relevant member and the elastic modulus of the member in a direction in which a golf ball-striking surface of the face portion is oriented.
