  • Iron golf club head and iron golf club
    Patent number: 8834292
    Abstract: An iron golf club head includes: a head portion; and a badge portion adhered to the head portion. The head portion includes: a face surface; and a back surface located behind the face surface. The badge portion is adhered to at least one of a first largest amplitude region where an amplitude in a fourth-order vibration mode of the back surface is the largest and a second largest amplitude region where an amplitude in a fifth-order vibration mode of the back surface is the largest. As a result, there can be obtained an iron golf club head and an iron golf club, in which by suppressing decrease in resonant time of the hitting sound and reducing the sound pressure of the hitting sound, the hitting sound and the hitting feeling can be improved.
    Type: Grant

  • Golf club
    Patent number: 6899638
    Abstract: The inventive golf club comprises a head of a metal having a face and a flexural range, defined in the face, where the quantity of flexure in a direction perpendicular to the face is at least 45% of the maximum quantity of vertical flexure of the face. The flexural range is arranged in coincidence with a hitting spot distribution range of a player in the face. Alternatively, a flexural range having a spring constant of at least 2 kN/mm and not more than 4 kN/mm is present in the face of the inventive golf club.
