Patent ID: 7846033

Claim:
An iron type golf club head comprising a face surface including a toe inclination visually recognizing part and a heel inclination visually recognizing part, the toe inclination visually recognizing part provided on a toe side of the face surface, formed by a visible boundary between a toe side region of the face surface and a center region of the face surface, the heel inclination visually recognizing part provided on the heel side of the face surface, formed by a visible boundary between a heel side region of the face surface and the center region of the face surface, wherein, with the club head supported on a level surface and disposed at its designed lie angle and real loft angle; the toe inclination visually recognizing part is inclined to the heel side from the toe side in a direction toward a sole side from a top side; the heel inclination visually recognizing part is inclined to the heel side from the toe side in a direction toward the sole side from the top side; the inclination of the toe inclination visually recognizing part to the heel side from the toe side in a direction toward the sole side from the top side is discernible when viewed vertically downwardly along a vertical plane that includes the axis of a shaft hole of the club head from a vantage point directly above the center region of the face surface; the inclination of the heel inclination visually recognizing part to the heel side from the toe side in a direction toward the sole side from the top side is discernible when viewed vertically downwardly along a vertical plane that includes the axis of the shaft hole from a vantage point directly above the center region of the face surface; an inclination angle α 1 of the toe inclination visually recognizing part with respect to a vertical direction reference line is no less than 5 degrees and no more than 15 degrees, wherein the vertical reference line is parallel to a line formed by the intersection of the club face with a vertical plane that includes a line perpendicular to the club face and extending through the centroid of the club head; an inclination angle α 2 of the heel inclination visually recognizing part with respect to the vertical direction reference line is no less than 5 degrees and no more than 15 degrees; and the real loft angle B is no less than 50 degrees and no more than 70 degrees.
