Title: Golf club head having surface features that influence golf ball spin
Inventor: MARTIN R JERTSON
IPC: A63B53/04
Filed: 2016-09-12
Abstract: A golf club head face having a loft below 25 degrees in which increasing the coefficient of friction between the face and the ball decreases the spin on the ball after impact. Microgrooves and surface texture on the golf club face increase the coefficient of friction. The golf club face has three areas, a first area in the crown/toe region, a central second area and a third area in the sole/heel region. The coefficient of friction of the central area is greater than the coefficient of friction in the crown/toe region, and the coefficient of friction in the heel/sole region is greater than that of the central area, such that the coefficient of friction increases going from the crown/toe to the sole/heel. Each area has a plurality of roughness levels. The varying coefficient of friction makes the spin imparted on the ball at different impact locations of the face more uniform.
