Method for making iron golf club set

Abstract

A method for making an iron golf club set includes selecting a plurality of iron golf clubs including a pitching wedge, wherein a difference in carry between each pair of golf clubs, which have consecutive club numbers, is substantially equal to a particular value; further selecting a minimum-carry golf club, which has a loft angle in a range of 55 to 60 degrees and a club length in a range of 34.5 inches to 35.5 inches; measuring carries of at least the pitching wedge and the minimum-carry golf club to obtain a difference in the carry between the pitching wedge and the minimum-carry golf club and; and still further selecting at least one golf club on a basis of the obtained difference in the carry so that a difference in carry between each pair of golf clubs, which have consecutive club numbers, is substantially equal to the particular value.

Description

[0001] This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from the prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2005-214230 on Jul. 25, 2005, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The invention relates to a method for making a an iron golf club set and, more particularly, to a method for making an iron golf club set including at least two iron clubs, each of which has a loft angle larger than that of a pitching wedge and equal to or larger than 45 degrees [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] A golf club set of six irons consisting of clubs numbered from 5 to 9 and a PW (Pitching Wedge) has recently entered the mainstream of iron golf club sets for average golfers. The iron golf clubs are designed so that a difference in carry between each iron golf club and the next-numbered iron golf club is equal to about 10 yards. Hitherto, a iron golf club set of eight irons consis...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0007] There are, however, no countermeasures, which considers a difference in carry between each pair of consecutively numbered iron clubs whose loft angles are larger than that of the PW, that is, a difference in carry between the consecutively numbered clubs whose desired carries are in so-called a small carry region (the opposite of the large carry region). For example, it is more difficult for a golfer, who can hit a distance of 100 yards with a PW on a full shot, to hit a distance of 70 yards with a PW on a control shot than to hit a distance of 100 yards with a PW on a full shot. Golfers should perform control shots with considering an initial speed of a ball and an amount of spin. It is easier to hit a full shot than to hit a control shot in order to obtain a stable carry and make a ball quickly stop after landing.

[0012] According to the above-described structure, in a small carry region, carries can stably be obtained using the golf clubs of such a golf club set. This results in improvement in a score.

Problems solved by technology

For example, it is more difficult for a golfer, who can hit a distance of 100 yards with a PW on a full shot, to hit a distance of 70 yards with a PW on a control shot than to hit a distance of 100 yards with a PW on a full shot.
