Abstract

A golf club head. The golf club head includes a recession on a rear surface of a striking plate. A weight is embedded into the recession. The striking plate is punched or welded on the golf club head to thereby form a gap between a sole plate of the golf club head and the weight combined with the rear surface of the striking plate. The golf club head includes a finishing surface of the striking plate and a surface of the golf club head.

Claims (21)

1. A golf club head, comprising:

a striking plate including a rear surface and recession formed thereon;

a weight engaged with the recession proximate to a bottom edge of the striking plate, said weight including a top portion and a bottom portion;

a main body including a ring frame adapted to connect with the striking plate; and

an elongated gap formed between the sole plate of the main body and the bottom portion of the weight located on the rear surface of the striking plate.

2. The golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein the elongated gap and the weight are commonly extended along the sole plate from a toe end to a heel end.

3. The golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein the elongated gap has a width in a range of 0.5 to 8.0 mm.

4. The golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein the weight has a maximum thickness substantially equal to or greater than 2.5 times of a thickness of the striking plate.

5. The golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein the main body has a center of gravity and a distance thereof; the distance spaced apart from the sole plate is substantially equal to or less than 20 mm.

6. The golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein the striking plate is provided with at least one protrusion formed in the recession; and the weight is also provided with at least one corresponding groove engaged therewith.

7. The golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein the striking plate is provided with a stepped portion.

8. The golf club head as defined in claim 7 , wherein the golf club head is provided with a complementary stepped portion adapted to engage with the stepped portion of the striking plate.

9. The golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein the striking plate is provided with a compartment.

10. The golf club head as defined in claim 9 , wherein the compartment is filled with a damping material selected from the group consisting of epoxy, rubber, latex, foaming material, fluid, colloid, and other vibration-absorbable material.

11. The golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein the bottom portion of the weight has a weight greater than that of the top portion to lower a center of gravity.

12. The golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein said elongated gap has uniform thickness.

13. A golf club head comprising:

a striking plate including a rear surface and a recession formed thereon;

a weight engaged with the recession proximate to a bottom edge of the striking plate, said weight including a top portion and a bottom portion;

a main body including a ring frame adapted to connect with the striking plate, said main body including a sole plate, said weight is adapted to lower a center of gravity of said main body; and

an elongated gap formed between the sole plate of the main body and the bottom portion of the weight located on the rear surface of the striking plate; and a neck portion.
