Abstract
Description
field of invention
[0001] The present invention relates to golf club heads, golf clubs including such golf club heads, and methods of making such golf club heads.

[0002] Golf clubs and their associated golf club heads require long flight distances and excellent directional stability. In order to meet these demands, a high degree of design freedom for the center of gravity and the moment of inertia is sought in the golf club head structure. In recent years, in order to increase the design freedom of the center of gravity and moment of inertia, a composite material type golf club head has been proposed in which a metal member is placed low and a fiber-reinforced plastic member is placed high (See, eg, Japanese Patent No. 2773009 and Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication Nos. 5...
