Abstract:
Golf club heads are described herein, and in one embodiment including a body with an exterior surface defining a first body volume of at least about 400 cm 3 . The body has a bottom portion, a top portion, a front portion, and a back portion. A face positioned at the front portion of the body and is configured to receive an impact. A top portion silhouette profile located along a perimeter of the top portion is further described. The top portion silhouette profile defines the outer bounds of the top portion in an X-direction and Y-direction. At least one indentation can be located on the bottom portion below the crown silhouette profile. The removal of the at least one indentation from the bottom portion can create a second body volume that is at least 12 cm 3  larger than the first body volume.

Claim (Index 15):
A golf club head comprising:\n a body having a bottom portion, a top portion having at least a portion formed of a composite material, a front portion, and a back portion, defining a volume of at least about 400 cm 3 , and a front-rear dimension of at least about 111 mm a sole located on the bottom portion of the golf club head; a face positioned at the front portion of the body, the face being configured to receive an impact; a top portion silhouette profile located along a perimeter of the top portion, the top portion silhouette profile defining the outer bounds of the top portion in an X-direction and Y-direction; two or more indentations located on the sole below the top portion silhouette profile, the two or more indentations being defined in part by a wall that extends inwardly from a surface of the sole and into the body; and a plateau located on the sole, wherein a portion of the plateau has a plateau width of at least about 22 mm; wherein the two or more indentations comprising at least one toe-side indentation located at least partially toe-ward of the plateau and at least one heel-side indentation located at least partially heel-ward of the plateau, wherein the at least one toe-side indentation includes a toe-side curved edge having a portion that follows the top portion silhouette profile; wherein the golf club head has a head origin defined as a position on a face plane at a geometric center of the face, the head origin including an x-axis tangential to the face and generally parallel to the ground when the head is in an address position where a positive x-axis extends towards a heel portion, a y-axis extending perpendicular to the x-axis and generally parallel to the ground when the head is in the address position where a positive y-axis extends from the face and through a rearward portion of the body, and a z-axis extending perpendicular to the ground, to the x-axis and to the y-axis when the head is in the address position where a positive z-axis extends from the head origin and generally upward, wherein the golf club head has a center of gravity with an x-axis coordinate, a y-axis coordinate less than about 50 mm, and a z-axis coordinate less than about 2 mm; and wherein the golf club head has a moment of inertia about the center of gravity z-axis, I CGz , of at least about 450 kg\u00b7mm 2 ; and wherein the golf club head has a coefficient of restitution greater than about 0.810.
