Abstract:
1. A golf club head comprising a face, crown, skirt, hosel and sole, wherein the sole comprises at least a first weight member, a second weight member, and a non-weighted section; wherein the first weight member is located toward and substantially parallel to the face edge of the sole and is substantially centered between a toe edge and a heel edge of the sole, and wherein the second weight member is located toward a back edge of the sole and is substantially centered between the toe edge and heel edge of the sole, wherein the first and second weight members are two distinct weight members, wherein the non-weighted section completes the remainder of the sole, wherein the first and second weight members have a higher density than the non-weighted section of the sole or have a higher thickness than the non-weighted section of the sole to increase the moment of inertia of the golf club head, further comprising a cavity formed between the crown and the sole, and wherein the cavity forms a protrusion extending out from the skirt of the golf club head, wherein the sole further comprises four sections, wherein a first section has an edge coinciding with the entire face edge of the sole and which tapers as it extends back toward the back edge of the sole forming a waist and which then flutes slightly at its terminating edge, and wherein a second section has a bow-shape and a first edge coinciding and connecting with the terminating edge of the first section and a second edge that extends off of the sole to form the back edge of the sole such that a plurality of extremities of the bow-shaped second section extend beyond the terminal end of the crown of the golf club head to form the cavity between the crown and the sole, and wherein a third section comprises the area between the toe edge of the sole and the first section and which has a terminating edge that comprises a portion of the edge of said cavity, wherein a fourth section comprises the area between the heel edge of the sole and the first section and which has a terminating edge that comprises a portion of the edge of said cavity wherein the third and fourth sections are depressed with respect to the first and second sections such that the sole has a varied elevation, and wherein the first weight member is located only within the first section, while the second weight member is located only within and comprises the entirety of the second section.
