Set of golf clubs
View Patent ↗At least three clubs of a set of golf clubs may have an average volume between about 75 cm 3 and about 90 cm 3 . The transverse dimensions of the at least three clubs may progressively decrease from a highest volume club to a lowest volume club. At least one club of a set may include a constraining member in a cavity. A linear distance between a sweet spot and a center of gravity may progressively decrease from a lower lofted club to a higher lofted club within a set. At least one golf club of a set may include a face plate portion, and at least two golf clubs of the set may include a cup face portion. At least two clubs of a set may include a progressively increasing hosel length from a lowest lofted club to a highest lofted club. The strike face of at least one club of a set may include a bulge and a roll. A first club of a set may have a face thickness that is less than a face thickness of a second club of the set.
1. A set of golf clubs,
each club of the set including a club head comprising:
a shell;
a face member comprising a striking surface;
a loft of at least 20°; and
a transverse dimension at a vertical height between about 2 mm and about 10 mm above a ground plane;
at least two club heads of the set comprising a cavity having a stiffening rib that is disposed in the cavity and dissociated from the face member, the cavity at least in part bounded by the shell and the face member; and
at least three club heads of the set having different lofts, the transverse dimensions of the at least three club heads progressively decreasing from the lowest-lofted club head to the highest-lofted club head, at least one club head of the set comprising at least two articulation points.
2. The set of claim 1 , wherein:
the shell of each of at least three club heads comprises a concavity, and
the striking surface of each of at least two club heads comprises a bulge and a roll.
3. The set of claim 1 , wherein:
the face member of at least one club head comprises a strike plate coupled to the shell at a first peripheral edge, and
the face member of each of at least two club heads comprises a cup face coupled to the shell at a second peripheral edge.
4. The set of claim 1 , wherein:
each of the at least three club heads further comprises a hosel having a hosel length, the hosel lengths of the at least three club heads progressively increasing from the lowest-lofted club head to the highest-lofted club head, and
the striking surface of at least one club head comprises a bulge and a roll.
5. The set of claim 1 , wherein:
the face member of at least one first club head has a loft between 20° and 47° and comprises a first face thickness, and
the face member of at least one second club head has a loft between 20° and 47° and comprises a second face thickness, the second face thickness being greater than the first face thickness.
