Golf club head having balanced ground and tee performance

The golf club head design addresses the imbalance in traditional designs by combining a larger volume, higher moment of inertia, and strategic weight distribution to enhance both tee and ground hitting performance, achieving improved ball speed and turf interaction.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Traditional wood-type golf club heads struggle to balance the performance of hitting the ball from the tee (seat hitting performance) and hitting the ball from the ground (ground hitting performance) due to design compromises that affect moment of inertia, center of gravity, and clubface height, leading to suboptimal results in both scenarios.

Method used

A golf club head with a volume between 330 cm³ and 400 cm³, a combined moment of inertia greater than 7000 g*cm², and a balanced shape that includes a larger body width and depth with a shorter height, featuring a rearward heavy weight to optimize ground and tee impact performance, and optionally a sole gap for improved ground shot quality.

Benefits of technology

The club head achieves enhanced balance between tee and ground hitting performance by increasing moment of inertia, lowering center of gravity, and optimizing clubface geometry, resulting in improved ball speed and turf interaction without sacrificing durability.

Abstract

g*cm2, and shaping which balances ground and tee performance. The club head has a large body width and a large body depth that increase MOI, and a proportionally short body height that improves the quality of ground strikes. The club head also has a heavy weight member in a rearward and soleward position to improve MOI and create a CG position that balances both ball speed off the ground and ball speed off the tee. Some embodiments have a club head CG position which favors tee performance. In said embodiments, the club head can comprise a sole slit that improves ground performance and / or performance on low strikes.
