Patent ID: 7147572

Claim:
A wood-type club head having (1) a center of gravity (G) defined by the distribution of weight in the club head, (2) a face with a sweet spot (SS) located where the face is intersected by a line perpendicular to the face extending through the center of gravity (G) of the club head, (3) a toe, (4) a heel and (5) a neck with a shaft insertion hole defining a shaft axis, wherein, in a state of the club head for performing measurements on the club head, the shaft axis is inclined at a set lie angle with respect to a horizontal plane and lies in a vertical plane, and a horizontal line tangent to the face at an area center of gravity (FC) of the face is parallel to the vertical plane, and wherein: the volume of the club head is in the range of from 350 cm 3 to 500 cm 3 ; a distance (d) corresponding to a shortest distance between the shaft axis and the center of gravity (G) of the club head is in the range of from 45 mm to 50 mm; a point (T) at which the horizontal line is intersected by a perpendicular line extending from the sweet spot (SS) of the face is located away from the area center of gravity (FC) and within 4 mm from the area center of gravity (FC) in the direction toward the heel.
