Varied profile alignment aide golf club head

1. A golf club head comprising:

a body;

a top surface of the body housing an actual top surface visible profile region and a varied top surface visible profile region,

wherein the varied top surface visible profile region is configured to provide a visual impression of a varied profile of the body distinct from an actual profile of the body, and

the varied top surface visible profile region extends along a front edge and a heel end of the top surface of the body housing, and is spaced from a rear end and a toe end of the top surface of the body housing.

2. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein a perimeter of the varied top surface visible profile region is complementary in shape to a perimeter of the top surface of the body.

3. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the varied top surface visible profile region is located at a heel end of the top surface of the body so as to provide a visual impression that a hosel of the body forms the hosel for each of the varied profile of the body and the actual profile of the body.

4. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the varied top surface visible profile region is bounded on two sides by the actual top surface visible profile region.

5. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the varied top surface visible profile region has a smaller surface area than the top surface of the body.

6. The golf club head of claim 5 , wherein the varied top surface visible profile region and the actual top surface visible profile region together form an entire top surface of the body.

7. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the varied top surface visible profile region and the top surface of the body are distinct in one of shape and coloration.

8. The golf club head of claim 7 , wherein the varied top surface visible region is darker in coloration than the actual top surface visible profile region.

9. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the varied top surface visible profile region has a glossy finish and the actual top surface visible profile region has a matte finish.

10. The golf club head of claim 1 , further comprising an alignment aide, wherein the alignment aide is housed on the top surface of the body and aligned with a center of a hitting surface housed on a front surface of the body.

11. The golf club head of claim 1 , further comprising an alignment aide housed on the varied top surface visible profile region.

12. The golf club head of claim 11 , wherein the alignment aide is housed at a midpoint between a varied club head toe end and a varied club head heel end.

13. The golf club head of claim 1 , further comprising first and second alignment aides, wherein the first alignment aide is housed on the top surface of the body at a midpoint between the toe end and the heel end of the body and the second alignment aide is housed on a varied top surface visible profile alignment region at a midpoint between a varied club head toe end and a varied club head heel end.

14. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the actual top surface visible profile region is crescent shaped.

15. The golf club head of claim 1 , wherein the varied top surface visible profile region comprises one of a coating, a film, an adhesive tape, and an appliqué housed on the top surface of the body.

16. The golf club head of claim 1 , further comprising a shaft coupled to the golf club head.

17. The golf club head of claim 16 , wherein the golf club head is a wood-type golf club head.

18. A wood-type golf club comprising:

a body;

a shaft coupled to the body at a hosel; and

a top surface housed on the body and configured to provide a visual impression of the body having a varied profile distinct from an actual profile,

wherein a midpoint between a varied club head toe end and a varied club head heel end is closer to a heel end of the body than a midpoint between the toe end and heel end of the body, and

the varied profile extends along a front edge and a heel end of the top surface of the body, and is spaced from a rear end and a toe end of the top surface of the body.

19. A method of fitting a golf club head with a varied top surface comprising the steps of:

determining an actual region of contact on a hitting surface on a front surface of a body of a golf club head, as a user swings a golf club such that the front surface strikes a golf ball, using a measuring device;

determining a desired region of contact on the hitting surface;

applying a varied top surface profile application to a top surface of the golf club head based upon the determined desired location of contact by applying one of a coating, a film, an adhesive tape and an appliqué to form a varied profile of the body based upon the determined actual region of contact, wherein the varied top surface profile application extends along a front edge and a heel end of the top surface of the golf club head, and is spaced from a rear end and a toe end of the top surface of the golf club head.

20. The method of fitting a golf club head with a varied top surface of claim 19 , further comprising the steps of:

selecting a varied top surface profile application for a top surface of the golf club from a series of top surface profile applications.

21. The method of fitting a golf club head with a varied top surface of claim 20 , wherein the series of top surface profile applications includes a series of top surface profile applications that vary in appearance.

22. The method of fitting a golf club head with a varied top surface of claim 21 , wherein the variation in appearance of the series of top surface profile applications is a variation in one of shape and size of the top surface profile applications.

23. The method of fitting a golf club head with a varied top surface of claim 19 , wherein each of the top surface profile applications in the series of top surface profile applications is distinct in one of color, shape, and finish relative to the top surface of the golf club head.

24. The method of fitting a golf club head with a varied top surface of claim 19 , further comprising the step of:

removing a first varied top surface profile application on the top surface of the golf club head and applying a second varied top surface profile application to the top surface of the golf club head.
