Abstract:
The head of a golf iron having an improved profile that enables a golfer to accurately align the club head with a golf ball so that the club head will strike the ball at the sweet spot located on the club face. The club head has a top edge which runs above the club face and includes first and second portions that extend in first and second directions. The boundary line between the first and second portions at the top edge of the club head lies in a vertical sweet spot reference plane with the center of the sweet spot. The boundary line at the top edge of the club head is visible to the golfer looking down at his club head so as to provide the golfer with an indication of the location of the sweet spot on the club face at which to strike the golf ball during his swing.

Claim (Index 8):
A golf club head attached to a hosel and comprising a face at which a golf ball is to be struck, a sweet spot located on the face at which to apply an impact force to the golf ball when the golf club head is swung towards the golf ball, an inside end at which the hosel is attached, an outside end located opposite the inside end, and a top edge which runs above the face of the club head between the inside and outside ends thereof, said top edge having a first portion that extends in a straight line in a first direction and a second portion that extends in a straight line in a second direction and lies adjacent said first portion, such that the first and second straight line portions of said top edge are aligned with one another to form an angle, and wherein a perceptively visible boundary line is located at the intersection of said first and second straight line portions.
