Golf club head
The present invention provides a golf club head that can hit a ball with a sufficiently large amount of backspin. The golf club head according to the present invention is an iron type golf club head made of a metal and including a flat face. A plurality of traces are formed by milling on the face. The pitch of the traces is between 0.1 mm and 1 mm.
1. An iron type golf club head made of metal and including a flat face, comprising a plurality of traces formed by milling on said face, wherein:
the pitch of said traces is between 0.1 mm and 1 mm;
after subjecting said face to milling to leave said traces, corrugations are formed on said face by milling; and
said traces do not cross each other but extend substantially parallel to each other.
2. The golf club head according to claim 1 , wherein said traces form downwardly convex arcs.
3. The golf club head according to claim 1 , wherein said traces form upwardly convex arcs.
4. The golf club head according to claim 1 , wherein said traces form either one of upward and downward arcs on a toe side of said face and arcs, on a heel side of said face, which are in a direction opposite to that of said arcs on the toe side, and
said traces on the toe side and said traces on the heel side are consecutive to each other to form S-shaped traces.
5. The golf club head according to claim 1 , wherein said face undergoes at least oxidizing treatment.
6. The golf club head according to claim 1 , wherein said golf club head comprises a face plate constituting said face and a head main body constituting a portion other than said face plate, said face plate being fixed to said head main body.
7. The golf club head according to claim 1 , wherein said traces form S-shaped arcs.
8. An iron type golf club head made of metal and including a flat face, comprising a plurality of traces formed by milling on said face, wherein:
the pitch of said traces is between 0.1 mm and 1 mm;
and said face undergoes at least oxidizing treatment; and
said traces do not cross each other but extend substantially parallel to each other.
9. The golf club head according to claim 8 , wherein said traces form downwardly convex arcs.
10. The golf club head according to claim 8 , wherein said traces form upwardly convex arcs.
11. The golf club head according to claim 8 , wherein:
said traces form either one of upward and downward arcs on a toe side of said face, and arcs, on a heel side of said face, which are in a direction opposite to that of said arcs on the toe side; and
said traces on the toe side and said traces on the heel side are consecutive to each other to form S-shaped traces.
12. The golf club head according to claim 8 , wherein said golf club head comprises a face plate constituting said face and a head main body constituting a portion other than said face plate, said face plate being fixed to said head main body.
13. The golf club head according to claim 8 , wherein said traces form S-shaped arcs.
14. An iron type golf club head made of metal and including a flat face, comprising a plurality of traces formed by milling on said face, wherein:
the pitch of said traces is between 0.1 mm and 1 mm;
said traces do not cross each other but extend substantially parallel to each other;
said traces form either one of upward and downward arcs on a toe side of said face, and arcs, on a heel side of said face, which are in a direction opposite to that of said arcs on the toe side; and
said traces on the toe side and said traces on the heel side are consecutive to each other to form S-shaped traces.
15. The golf club head according to claim 14 , wherein said golf club head comprises a face plate constituting said face and a head main body constituting a portion other than said face plate, said face plate being fixed to said head main body.
