Abstract:
A golf club head having a sole configuration extending from the heel of the club head to the toe of the club head, said sole configuration including angularly inclined planar surfaces arranged with respect to each other to define a generally V-shaped ridge formed along the interfaces between adjacent planar surfaces on the sole of the club, when viewing the sole of the club, for providing increased clearance between the toe and the heel portions of the sole and the ground during a golf swing, wherein at least one of the planar surfaces is a first surface extending from the heel of the club head, at least another of the planar surfaces is a third surface extending from the toe of the club head, and another of the planar surfaces is a second planar surface located intermediate the first and third planar surfaces, so that the second planar surface has an interface with the first planar surface and with the third planar surface to form the generally V-shaped ridge along the interfaces and wherein the V-shaped ridge is provided with a peak located at a position corresponding to the junction of the first, second and third planar surfaces when viewing the sole of the club, said peak of the V-shaped ridge being formed at the apex of the V-shaped ridge.
