Golf club head

Abstract

A golf club head includes a head body having a front opening, and a single-piece striking plate member covering the front opening and having a striking face with a striking zone, and a back face formed with an annular reinforcing rib behind the striking zone and corresponding in position to the striking zone, a central boss formed concentrically within the annular reinforcing rib, and a plurality of angularly spaced-apart diametral reinforcing ribs extending diametrically through the central boss and the annular reinforcing rib. The annular reinforcing rib and the diametral reinforcing ribs cooperate to define a plurality of receiving grooves. A plurality of vibration-absorbing elements are disposed respectively in the receiving grooves.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The invention relates to a golf club head, more particularly to a golf club head that has a good vibration-absorbing effect.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a conventional golf club head 1 includes a head body 11 having a front opening 111, and a striking plate 12 covering the front opening 111 for striking a golf ball (not shown). Since the conventional golf club head 1 is not provided with a vibration-absorbing element, when a player strikes the ball with a large swinging force, a substantial impact force is absorbed by the striking plate 12, such that an intense vibration is produced. This intense vibration can make it difficult to hit the ball accurately. Further, the intense vibration is transmitted to the player's hands which may bring discomfort to the player. Such transmission of vibration may be especially acute when the player is using a wood.[0005]Referring to FIG. 3, a...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0006]Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a golf club head that can be produced at a minimum cost, and that can absorb vibration during hitting of a golf ball so that a player can control stably a striking direction of the golf ball and so that any feelings of discomfort given to the player as a result of receiving the transmission of vibration can be reduced.

Problems solved by technology

This intense vibration can make it difficult to hit the ball accurately.

Further, the intense vibration is transmitted to the player's hands which may bring discomfort to the player.

Such transmission of vibration may be especially acute when the player is using a wood.

Further, such a configuration of the conventional golf club head 2 is difficult and, therefore, expensive to produce.

Moreover, during swinging of a golf club incorporating the golf club head 2, because of the movement of the fluid 24 in the receiving space 23, a delayed condition is produced, which reduces stability during hitting of the ball.
