AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a golf club head with an elastic strike plate. The strike plate has multiple annular grooves and flanges on its rear face, which creates elasticity as a spring. This elasticity allows the strike plate to effectively enlarge the sweet spot on the hitting zone, improving the accuracy of the golfer's swing.

Problems solved by technology

Only by using metal material with high strength and high elasticity without modifying the structures, the reacting elastic force resulted from striking the golf ball by the strike plates is limited.
Therefore, the user cannot easily strike the golf ball on the sweet spot of the conventional strike plate.
However, the edge of the aforementioned conventional strike plate with the central protrusion on the rear face still has a certain thickness such that the enhanced elastic effect is still insufficient.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]A preferred embodiment of a strike plate 1A of a golf club head in accordance with the present invention is shown in FIGS. 1 to 3. The strike plate 1A shown in FIG. 1 is applied to, but is not limited to, a wood golf club head. Another preferred embodiment of a strike plate 1B of a golf club head in accordance with the present invention is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. The strike plate 1B is also applied to other types of golf club heads besides the iron golf club head.

[0019]With reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, 5 and 5, the strike plate 1A, 1B has a striking face 12 and a rear face 13. The striking face 12 and the rear face 13 are formed on opposite sides of the strike plate 1A, 1B. A striking zone 10 is defined on the strike plate 1A, 1B. An elastic annular part 11 is defined around the striking zone 10 and is adjacent to the edge of the strike plate 1A, 1B. The shape of the elastic annular part 11 substantially corresponds to the shape of the strike plate 1A, 1B. The elastic annular pa...

Abstract

A strike plate of a golf club head has a striking zone and an elastic annular part defined around the striking zone and adjacent to the edge of the strike plate. Multiple annular grooves are formed in the elastic annular part on the rear face of the strike plate and are arranged at intervals. Multiple annular flanges are formed on the rear face. Each annular flange is formed between two adjacent annular grooves. The elastic annular part with multiple thicker and thinner parts alternately arranged provides elasticity as a spring. Therefore, when any part of the striking zone of the strike plate is stricken on the golf ball, the elastic annular part generates a sufficient elastic effect to effectively enlarge the sweet spot on the strike plate.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a golf club head, especially to a strike plate of the golf club head.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Arts[0004]A conventional golf club head comprises a head body and a strike plate attached securely to a front face of the head body. The head body has a hosel formed on an end thereof and opposite to the strike plate for receiving a shaft to form a golf club.[0005]When the user hits the golf ball with the conventional golf club, the strike plate on the front face of the head body strikes the golf ball. Thus, the strike plate plays important roles in the striking performance of the golf club.[0006]The strike plate of the conventional golf club heads is mostly made of a plate of uniform thickness. Only by using metal material with high strength and high elasticity without modifying the structures, the reacting elastic force resulted from striking the golf ball by the strike plates is limi...
