Abstract:
A golf club in its position of use for initially impacting a golf ball at ground level, comprising an elongated shaft having a central axis, a proximal end and a distal end, a club head having a main body, a toe bar and a hosel having one end joined to the shaft distal end and an opposite end joined to the main body to mount the club head to extend transversely away from the central axis, the main body having a face, a back side portion, an elongated sole, a heel adjacent to the hosel and a toe transversely horizontally remote from the central axis and having a vertically extending end surface transversely horizontally remote from the central axis, the club head having a horizontal synchronized elevation line adjacent to where the face normally initially impacts a golf ball and a balance point along the synchronized line, the toe bar resulting in the balance point being more remote from the central axis, the toe bar being transversely more remote from the central axis than the balance point and of a weight of about 15 percent to 25 percent of the club head weight, the toe having a top surface portion vertically most remote from the sole, the head face having horizontal grooves and the hosel being joined to the shaft along a horizontal plane that is generally parallel to the ground, is at an elevation that is substantially the same as the toe top surface portion and is at an obtuse angle relative to the shaft central axis.
