Abstract

A golf club head includes a striking plate, a golf club head body and a plurality of annular flexible portions. In assembling, the striking plate mechanically connects to a front side of the golf club head body. The golf club head body forms a crown portion, a sole portion, a toe portion, a heel portion and a side portion to constitute a body member. The annular flexible portions are provided on an inner surface of the golf club head body. Thereby, the annular flexible portions can increase an elastic deformation of the golf club head body.

Claims (19)

1. A wood type golf club head comprising:

a golf club head body including a crown portion, a sole portion, a toe portion, a heel portion and a side portion to constitute a body member;

a striking plate adapted to connect to a front side of the golf club head body; and

a plurality of annular flexible portions provided on an inner surface of one of the crown portion, the sole portion, the toe portion, the heel portion, and the side portion of the golf club head body, said annular flexible portions being selected from a series of ring portions;

wherein said annular flexible portions enhance elastic deformation of the golf club head body while striking golf ball.

2. The wood type golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein the golf club head body further includes a top assembling hole adapted to receive a crown plate, and the crown plate includes an inner surface on which said annular flexible portions are provided.

3. The wood type golf club head as defined in claim 2 , wherein each of said annular flexible portions of the crown plate is coaxially expanded and spread from a center portion of the crown plate.

4. The wood type golf club head as defined in claim 3 , wherein each of said annular flexible portions of the crown plate is provided with same configuration as that of an outer periphery of the crown plate.

5. The wood type golf club head as defined in claim 2 , wherein the inner surface of the crown plate further includes a buffer portion used to constitute a buffer zone for attenuating elastic deformation of the crown plate.

6. The wood type golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein the golf club head body further includes a bottom assembling hole and a sole plate connected thereto, and the sole plate includes an inner surface on which said annular flexible portions are provided.

7. The wood type golf club head as defined in claim 6 , wherein each of said annular flexible portions of the sole plate is coaxially expanded and spread from a center portion of the sole plate.

8. The wood type golf club head as defined in claim 7 , wherein each of said annular flexible portions of the sole plate is provided with the same configuration as that of an outer periphery of the sole plate.

9. The wood type golf club head as defined in claim 6 , wherein the inner surface of the sole plate further includes a buffer portion used to constitute a buffer zone for attenuating elastic deformation of the sole plate.

10. The wood type golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein each of said annular flexible portions is a closed loop of a recessed groove.

11. The wood type golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein each of said annular flexible portions is a closed loop of a protruded rib.

12. The wood type golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein said annular flexible portions consist of recessed grooves and protruded ribs, and said recessed grooves and protruded ribs are alternatively arranged.

13. The wood type golf club head as defined in claim 1 , further comprising an elastic coating layer covering said annular flexible portions provided on the inner surface of the golf club head body.

14. The wood type golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein no annular flexible portion is provided on an inner surface of the striking plate.

15. The wood type golf club head as defined in claim 1 , wherein said ring portions are concentric.
