Golf Club Head Bending Section for Enhanced Resilience
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional golf club heads lack sufficient bounce resilience during ball-hitting due to the limitations of plate-shaped and cup-shaped panels, which fail to effectively deform and enhance ball-hitting performance.
Innovation Solution
A club head design featuring a body with a panel that includes a bending section on its ball-hitting surface, where the panel's bottom edge forms a wall portion that partially sinks to create a deformable section, generating bounce resilience upon impact, and this section is strategically positioned and dimensioned to optimize ball-hitting force and distance.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Strength
If a plate-shaped panel or cup-shaped panel is used in the club head, then the panel can be structurally supported, but the panel cannot effectively deform to generate bounce resilience during ball-hitting
Solution Approach 1:
The panel is segmented into a fixed portion and a movable portion, allowing different regions to serve different functions. The fixed portion provides structural support while the movable portion deforms to generate bounce resilience, resolving the contradiction between strength and reliability.
Solution Approach 2:
The panel transitions from a static rigid structure to a dynamic structure with movable portions that can deform during ball-hitting. This dynamic characteristic enables the panel to generate bounce resilience while maintaining overall structural integrity through the fixed portion.
2Stability of the object's composition
If the panel is made rigid to maintain structural integrity, then the panel stability is improved, but the ball-hitting force and distance are reduced due to lack of deformation
Solution Approach 1:
Dividing the panel into fixed and movable portions allows the fixed portion to maintain panel stability while the movable portion provides deformation capability for generating ball-hitting force, thus resolving the contradiction between stability and force.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the panel have different mechanical properties - the fixed portion is rigid for stability while the movable portion is flexible for force generation. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction between overall stability and local deformation capability.

Function Achieved in This Case
The deformable bending section enhances ball-hitting resilience, increasing the ball-hitting force and distance by allowing the panel to deform and absorb impact, thereby improving the overall performance of the club head.

AI summary
A club head conducive to enhancement of resilience includes a body and a panel. The body has a first front side and a first rear side. The panel is disposed on the first front side of the body. The panel has a second top edge, a second bottom edge, a second front side and a second rear side. The second front side is a ball-hitting surface. The second bottom edge extends toward the second rear side to form a wall portion. The wall portion partially sinks to a depth for defining a bending section facing the upper edge. As soon as the panel hits a ball, the bending section deforms and thereby generates bounce resilience.
