Abstract

A golf club head ( 42 ) having a substantially square or rectangular body is disclosed herein. The golf club head ( 42 ) preferably has a volume ranging from 420 cubic centimeters to 470 cubic centimeters. The golf club head ( 42 ) preferably has a moment of inertia about the Izz axis through the center of gravity of the golf club head greater than 4000 grams-centimeters squared, and a moment of inertia about the Ixx axis through the center of gravity of the golf club head greater than 3000 grams-centimeters squared.

Claims (12)

1. A wood-type golf club head comprising:

a body comprising a sole, a toe wall, a heel wall, an aft-wall, and a front wall having a perimeter, wherein the aft-wall is substantially perpendicular to the heel wall and the toe wall, the body composed of a titanium alloy material;

a crown composed of a non-metal material;

wherein the golf club head has a distance, D hw , ranging from 3.5 inches to 4.0 inches, a distance, D tw , ranging from 3.5 inches to 4.0 inches, and a distance, D aw , ranging from 4.0 inches to 4.50 inches;

wherein the heel wall extends rearward from a perimeter of the front wall a distance of least 66% of the length of the heel wall at an angle of 80 degrees to 90 degrees relative to relative to a plane parallel to the farthest extent of the front wall;

wherein the golf club head has a volume ranging from 300 cubic centimeters to 500 cubic centimeters, a coefficient of restitution ranging from 0.81 to 0.94, a mass ranging from 180 grams to 215 grams, and a moment of inertia, Izz, about the center of gravity of the golf club head greater than 4000 grams-centimeters squared.

2. The wood-type golf club head according to claim 1 wherein the golf club head has a moment of inertia, Iyy, about the center of gravity of the golf club head ranging from 2000 grams-centimeters squared to 4000 grams-centimeters squared.

3. The wood-type golf club head according to claim 1 wherein the body has a geometric center point, an aft-heel edge point and an aft-toe edge point, wherein the distance from the geometric center point to the aft-heel edge point is equal to the distance from the geometric center point to the aft-toe edge point.

4. The wood-type golf club head according to claim 3 wherein the distance from the geometric center point to the aft-heel edge point and the distance from the geometric center point to the aft-toe edge point are the greatest length of the geometric center point to a location on the golf club head.

5. The wood-type golf club head according to claim 1 wherein the heel wall extends rearward from a perimeter of the front wall a distance of least 75% of the length of the heel wall at an angle of 80 degrees to 90 degrees relative to a plane parallel to the farthest extent of the front wall.

6. The wood-type golf club head according to claim 1 wherein the heel wall extends rearward from a perimeter of the front wall a distance of least 90% of the length of the heel wall at an angle of 80 degrees to 90 degrees relative to a plane parallel to the farthest extent of the front wall.

7. The wood-type golf club head according to claim 1 wherein the front wall has a face area ranging from 5.00 square inches to 10.0 square inches.
