a front part extending rearwardly from the face to a step surface, a back part having a point on a front end on a surface defining a virtual extension surface, and a recess part, wherein said recess part divides the crown into said front part and said back part between the step surface and the point on the back part,
wherein the recess part comprises a bottom surface, a first side surface extending from the step surface to the bottom surface, a second side surface extending from said point to the bottom surface, and at least a part of the recess part extends in a toe-heel direction;
wherein the step surface is positioned above the virtual extension surface of the back part,
wherein at least a part of the step surface extends in the toe-heel direction; and
wherein the step surface is continuous with the first side surface.
