Benefits of technology

[0011]Compared with the prior art, the sand wedge of the present invention includes the hollow portion disposed on the inlay of the club head for facilitating a golfer to strike a golf ball in a sand pit, and the sand struck by the inlay can pass through the hollow portion. When the golfer strikes the rod and digs into the sand to hit the ball, the striking resistance caused by the sand can be reduced to overcome the problem of changing the center of gravity of a conventional sand wedge due to the weight of the sand. As a result, the golfer can hit the ball out from the sand pit and apply an appropriate force to strike the ball to an expected falling point, so as to improve the practicability and convenience of the present invention.

Problems solved by technology

Meanwhile, statistics also indicate many people give up this sport mainly because of the frustration brought by the difficulty of the game or the skill of using the golf clubs.
Striking a golf ball into a sand pit around a green is quite common, but is also troublesome to beginners.
However, the additional resistance is formed by the sand may cause an error of striking the ball due to a change of center or gravity, when the inlay of the club head turns the sand over in the sand pit.

Abstract

A sand wedge and its club head are provided for reducing a striking resistance, and the sand wedge includes a club head coupled to a rod and a weight protrusion of the club head. The club head includes a club head body, an inlay formed on the club head body, and a hollow portion penetrated through the inlay. The weight protrusion is extended to the rear from the bottom of the inlay of the club head body, and provided for adjusting the weight and the center of gravity of the club head, such that when a golfer strikes a golf ball in a sand pit, sands can pass through the inlay to reduce the striking resistance.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a golf club, and more particularly to a golf club for striking a golf ball that is fallen into a sand pit.[0003]2.
