Golf club head
View Patent ↗A head 2 includes a head body h 1 and a neck part n 1 . The head body h 1 and the neck part n 1 are joined. The head body h 1 has a body side joint surface s 1 and a first recessed part opened in the body side joint surface s 1 . A space v 1 is formed by the first recessed part r 1 . The neck part n 1 has a neck side joint surface brought into surface contact with the body side joint surface s 1 and a shaft hole 14 . An abutted boundary surface Pt passes through a vicinity ad 1 of a head height lowest point. When a plane perpendicular to an axis line z of the shaft hole 14 is defined as PL, and an angle between the plane PL and the abutted boundary surface Pt is θ degree, the angle θ is a plus value.
1. A golf club head comprising:
a head body; and
a neck part,
wherein the neck part is welded to the head body;
the head body has a body side joint surface and a first recessed part opened in the body side joint surface;
a space is formed by the first recessed part, wherein the whole space is located on an upper side of a center of gravity of the head;
the neck part has a neck side joint surface brought into surface contact with the body side joint surface and a shaft hole;
an abutted boundary surface determined by the surface contact passes through a vicinity of a head height lowest point; and
when a plane perpendicular to an axis line of the shaft hole is defined as PL, and an angle between the plane PL and the abutted boundary surface is defined as θ degree; the angle θ when being viewed from a back side of the head is defined as plus in the case where a direction toward the abutted boundary surface from the plane PL is a counterclockwise rotation; and
the angle θ when being viewed from the back side of the head is defined as minus in the case where the direction toward the abutted boundary surface from the plane PL is a clockwise rotation, whereby the above defined angle θ is a plus value, and the opening of the first recessed part is closed by the neck part.
2. The golf club head according to claim 1 , wherein the angle θ is plus 10 degrees or greater and plus 90 degrees or less.
3. The golf club head according to claim 2 , wherein the angle θ is plus 20 degrees or greater and plus 70 degrees or less.
4. The golf club head according to claim 3 , wherein the angle θ is plus 30 degrees or greater and plus 50 degrees or less.
5. The golf club head according to claim 1 , wherein a projection part X is provided on any one of the body side joint surface and the neck side joint surface, and a second recessed part into which the projection part X is fitted is provided on the other.
6. The golf club head according to claim 5 , wherein the projection part X has a non-circular cross-sectional shape.
7. The golf club head according to claim 6 , wherein the projection part X has a polygon cross-sectional shape.
8. The golf club head according to claim 6 , wherein the cross-sectional shape of the second recessed part corresponds to the cross-sectional shape of the projection part X.
9. The golf club head according to claim 5 , wherein the projection part X and/or the second recessed part have/has a circular cross-sectional shape.
10. The golf club head according to claim 5 , wherein the projection part X is force-fitted into the second recessed part.
11. The golf club head according to claim 1 , wherein a projection part Y is provided on the neck side joint surface;
the projection part Y is fitted into the first recessed part; and
the space is provided between a tip of the projection part Y and a bottom part of the first recessed part.
12. The golf club head according to claim 1 , wherein a center line of the space extends upward toward a toe side.
13. The golf club head according to claim 1 , wherein;
a welding bead exists between the head body and the neck part; and
the welding bead is provided around the body side joint surface and the neck side joint surface.
14. The golf club head according to claim 1 , wherein a specific gravity of the neck part is greater than an average specific gravity of the head body.
15. The golf club head according to claim 1 , further comprising a weight member, and
a center of gravity of the weight member is located on a toe side of a center of gravity of the head.
16. The golf club head according to claim 1 , further comprising a weight member, and
a center of gravity of the weight member is located on a lower side of a center of gravity of the head.
17. The golf club head according to claim 1 , further comprising a top blade, and the space extends along the top blade.
18. The golf club head according to claim 1 , wherein the golf club head satisfies the following item (a) and/or the following item (b):
(a) the head body further comprises a body side gap forming surface; and
(b) the neck part further comprises a neck side gap forming surface;
a gap caused by the body side gap forming surface and/or the neck side gap forming surface exists in an abutted state where the body side joint surface and the neck side joint surface are brought into surface contact with each other; and
the gap is filled with a welding bead.
