Abstract:
An aerodynamic golf club head having a crown section that imparts beneficial aerodynamic properties due in part to the location of a crown apex and the curvature of the crown section.

Claim (Index 1):
A high volume aerodynamic golf club head ( 100 ) comprising:\n A) a hollow body ( 110 ) having a club head volume of at least 400 cc, a face ( 200 ), a sole section ( 300 ), a crown section ( 400 ), a front ( 112 ), a back ( 114 ), a heel ( 116 ), a toe ( 118 ), and a center of gravity (CG), wherein the hollow body ( 110 ) has a front-to-back dimension (FB) of at least 4.4 inches; B) the face ( 200 ) having a top edge ( 210 ) and a lower edge ( 220 ), wherein a top edge height (TEH) is the elevation of the top edge ( 210 ) above the ground plane (GP), and a lower edge height (LEH) is the elevation of the lower edge ( 220 ) above the ground plane (GP), wherein a maximum top edge height (TEH) is at least 2 inches; C) the crown section ( 400 ) having a crown apex ( 410 ) located an apex height (AH) above a ground plane (GP), wherein:\n (i) within a front-to-back vertical section through the crown apex ( 410 ) and perpendicular to a vertical plane created by a shaft axis (SA), a portion of the crown section ( 400 ) between the crown apex ( 410 ) and the face ( 200 ) has an apex-to-front radius of curvature (Ra-f); \n (ii) within a heel-to-toe vertical section through the crown apex ( 410 ) and parallel to the vertical plane created by the shaft axis (SA), a portion of the crown section ( 400 ), above the elevation of the maximum top edge height (TEH), has a heel-to-toe radius of curvature (Rh-t) that is less than 4 inches at the crown apex ( 410 ); and \n (iii) within the front-to-back vertical section a portion of the crown section ( 400 ), above the elevation of the maximum top edge height (TEH), between the crown apex ( 410 ) and the back ( 114 ) has an apex-to-rear radius of curvature (Ra-r) that is less than the heel-to-toe radius of curvature (Rh-t) at the crown apex ( 410 ); \n (iv) a portion of the crown section ( 400 ) has a density less than a portion of the sole section ( 300 ); \n (v) the crown apex ( 410 ) is behind the forwardmost point on the face ( 200 ) a distance that is a crown apex setback dimension ( 412 ), and the crown apex setback dimension ( 412 ) is less than a distance that is parallel to the crown apex setback dimension ( 412 ) and is measured from a vertical projection of the center of gravity (CG) on the ground plane (GP) to a vertical projection of the forwardmost point on the face ( 200 ) on the ground plane (GP); and \n D) the high volume aerodynamic golf club head ( 100 ) has a moment of inertia (MOIx) about a horizontal axis through the center of gravity (CG) that is at least 2000 g*cm 2 .
