Abstract:
A head for a ball striking device includes a bracing member connected to an upper sole surface located on the sole of the body opposite the bottom sole surface. The bracing member includes a first end connected to a first point on the upper sole surface, a second end connected to a second point on the upper sole surface spaced from the first point, and a bridge portion extending between the first and second ends. The bridge portion extends upward from the upper sole surface and is spaced from the upper sole surface. The bridge portion may be formed by one or more trusses, and may define a generally triangular shape in one embodiment. The first and second ends may be connected to the upper sole surface using a variety of techniques, e.g., welding or other integral joining technique, integral forming, adhesive or other bonding material, or other technique. The location of the bracing member may be determined using a modal analysis to determine a maximum displacement region.

Claim (Index 17):
A golf club head comprising:\n a face having an outer surface configured for striking a ball; a body joined to the face around peripheral edges of the face and extending rearwardly therefrom, the body including a club head crown portion and a club head sole portion, wherein the body and the face together define an interior cavity surrounded by an interior surface; and a bracing member positioned within the interior cavity and including\n a spine member having a first end, a second end, and a linear body extending therebetween, \n a first leg having a first end contacting the interior surface adjacent the sole portion and a second end connected to the linear body, \n a second leg having a first end contacting the interior surface adjacent the sole portion and a second end connected to the linear body, \n a third leg having a first end contacting the interior surface adjacent the sole portion and a second end connected to the linear body, and \n a fourth leg having a first end contacting the interior surface adjacent the sole portion and a second end connected to the linear body, \n wherein the first ends of the first, second, third, and fourth legs are positioned apart.
