BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The invention relates to a golf club head, more particularly to a golf club head with a lightweight property, superior weight distribution, and improved striking stability.

2. Description of the Related Art

Referring to FIG. 1, a conventional golf club head 1 includes a striking portion 11 made of a metal having a high coefficient of restitution, and a shock-absorbing layer 12 connected to a rear face of the striking portion 11 and having a size substantially equal to that of the striking portion 11 so as to raise the rebound and shock-absorbing capabilities of the golf club head. However, since the size of the shock-absorbing layer 12 is substantially equal to that of the striking portion 11, the overall weight of the golf club head 1 is relatively heavy, which in turn increases the striking load of the player and reduces the striking controllability. Moreover, since the striking portion 11 is provided with the shock-absorbing layer 12 having the size substantially equal to that of the striking portion 11, the center of gravity of the golf club head 1 is located at a distance relatively proximate to the striking portion 11, which in turn reduces the striking stability.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a golf club head which possesses a lightweight property, superior weight distribution, and improved striking stability.

Accordingly, the golf club head of this invention includes a hollow head body, a striking plate, and a shock absorber. The hollow head body has a front opening. The striking plate covers the front opening, and has a front face, a rear face, and a sweet spot. The shock absorber is connected to the rear face of the striking plate, corresponds in position to the sweet spot, and has a size smaller than that of the front opening and substantially equal to an area of the sweet spot.
