Golf club head that reduces a contact resistance with the ground

USPTO Application #: 20090029794
Title: Golf club head that reduces a contact resistance with the ground
Abstract: A golf club head includes a head body having a grounding face. The grounding face has a front portion and a rear portion. The rear portion of the grounding face is formed with a recessed portion. The recessed portion is provided with at least one protruding boss. Thus, the contact area between the grounding face of the head body and the ground is reduced largely by provision of the recessed portion to reduce the friction and resistance of the grounding face of the head body and to increase the striking force of the head body so as to increase the travel distance of the golf ball and to increase the striking effect of the head body.

  monitor keywords BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a golf club head and, more particularly, to a golf club head that reduces a contact resistance with the ground.

2. Description of the Related Art

A conventional golf club head in accordance with the prior art shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 comprises a head body 1 having a side provided with a striking face 12 and a bottom provided with a grounding face 11. In operation, when the striking face 12 of the head body 1 is driven by the user to hit a golf ball 2, the grounding face 11 of the head body 1 contacts the ground 3. However, the grounding face 11 of the head body 1 has a whole surface contacting the ground 3 so that the contact area between the grounding face 11 of the head body 1 and the ground 3 is increased largely to increase the friction and resistance of the grounding face 11 of the head body 1 applied by the ground 3 and to decrease the force of the head body 1 applying on the golf ball 2, thereby decreasing the travel distance of the golf ball 2, and thereby decreasing the striking effect of the head body 1.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a golf club head, comprising a head body having a bottom provided with a grounding face. The grounding face of the head body has a front portion and a rear portion located beside the front portion. The rear portion of the grounding face of the head body is formed with a recessed portion. The recessed portion of the grounding face of the head body is provided with at least one protruding boss.

The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a golf club head that efficiently reduces a contact resistance with the ground.

Another objective of the present invention is to provide a golf club head, wherein the contact area between the grounding face of the head body and the ground is reduced largely by provision of the recessed portion of the grounding face of the head body to reduce the friction and resistance of the grounding face of the head body and to increase the striking force of the head body so as to increase the travel distance of the golf ball and to increase the striking effect of the head body.

A further objective of the present invention is to provide a golf club head, wherein the protruding bosses provide a support between the grounding face of the head body and the ground so that the head body is driven to strike the golf ball exactly and stably, thereby enhancing stability of operation of the head body.

A further objective of the present invention is to provide a golf club head, wherein each of the protruding bosses has a specific gravity different from that of the head body to change a center of gravity of the head body so that the head body has different ball striking effects by changing the specific gravity of each of the protruding bosses, thereby facilitating the user operating the head body.

Further benefits and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after a careful reading of the detailed description with appropriate reference to the accompanying drawings.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE SEVERAL VIEWS OF THE DRAWING(S)

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a golf club head in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is a side operational view of the golf club head as shown in FIG. 1 in use.

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a golf club head in accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a conventional golf club head in accordance with the prior art.

FIG. 5 is a side operational view of the conventional golf club head as shown in FIG. 4 in use.
