Golf club head, and method for manufacturing the golf club head
To provide a golf club head which is easy-to-hit and which restrains the reduction of flight distance at the time of off-center shot to the minimum without making a sacrifice of the flight distance at the time of sweet spot shot, and a method for manufacturing the golf club head, a golf club head ( 1 ) has a hollow structure including a face portion ( 2 ) and a body portion ( 6 ), the body portion ( 6 ) includes a ring-shaped body barrel portion ( 26 ) as a front portion, and a tail portion ( 27 ) as a rear portion, and the average thickness of the body barrel portion ( 26 ) is 0.1 to 0.6 mm, and the mass of the tail portion ( 27 ) including a weight portion ( 8 ) is 20 to 70 g. The relations k b /k f ≦3 and 2 kN/mm≦1/(1/k b +1/k f )≦5 kN/mm are satisfied where k f (kN/mm) is the rigidity of the face portion ( 2 ) and k b (kN/mm) is the rigidity of the body barrel portion ( 26 ).
1. A golf club head having a hollow structure;
wherein assuming that a vertically projected shape VP is a shape of a projected image obtained by projecting the golf club head on a horizontal plane in a state in which the golf club head is fixed to a posture of 60 degrees in lie angle, and
assuming that a virtual plane P 0 is a plane in contact with the center of the face plane,
when the golf club head is divided into three portions; a front portion, a middle portion and a rear portion by two dividing planes which are parallel to the virtual plane P 0 , the two dividing planes dividing a line connecting a front end and a rear end of the vertically projected shape VP equally into three portions,
the weight relation among the front portion, the middle portion and the rear portion is:
front portion>rear portion>middle portion.
2. A golf club head having a hollow structure;
wherein assuming that a virtual plane P 0 is a plane in contact with the center of a face plane, and
assuming that a virtual plane P 1 is a plane parallel to the virtual plane P 0 and in contact with a rearmost portion of the golf club head,
when the golf club head is divided into three portion; a front portion, a middle portion and a rear portion by two dividing planes which are parallel to the virtual plane P 0 , the two dividing planes dividing a space between the virtual plane P 0 and the virtual plane P 1 equally into three portions,
the weight relation among the front portion, the middle portion and the rear portion is:
front portion>rear portion>middle portion.
