Abstract

Set 2 according to the present invention includes m or more wood type golf clubs (wherein, m is an integer of no less than 2) having a loft angle of greater than 20 degrees. Provided that the face progression b 2 of these m clubs is defined as from b 2 (1) to b 2 (m) following the ascending order of the loft angle of the club from the smallest value, this set 2 satisfies the relationships of: b 2 (1) ≧ b 2 (2) ≧ . . . ≧ b 2 ( m ); and b 2 (1) > b 2 (m). Preferably, in all clubs having a loft angle of greater than 20 degrees, the ratio (a 2 /b 2 ) of the loft angle a 2 (degree) to the face progression (mm) is 0.7 or greater and 2.0 or less in this set 2 . This set 2 is superior in ease to address. According to this set 2 , the trajectory suited for each numerical designation can be achieved.

Claims (18)

1. A golf club set comprising m or more wood type golf clubs (wherein, m is an integer of no less than 2) having a loft angle of greater than 20 degrees, wherein

provided that the face progression b 2 of these m clubs is defined as from b 2 (1) to b 2 (m) following the ascending order of the loft angle a 2 of the club from the smallest value of a 2 , the set satisfies the relationships of:

b 2(1)≧ b 2(2)≧ . . . ≧ b 2( m ); and b 2(1)> b 2( m ), and

wherein in all clubs having a loft angle of greater than 20 degrees, the ratio (a 2 /b 2 ) of the loft angle a 2 (degree) to the face progression b 2 (mm) is 0.7 or greater and 2.0 or less.

2. A golf club set comprising m or more wood type golf clubs (wherein, m is an integer of no less than 2) having a loft angle of greater than 20 degrees, wherein

provided that the face progression b 2 of these m clubs is defined as from b 2 (1) to b 2 (m) following the ascending order of the loft angle a 2 of the club from the smallest value of a 2 , the set satisfies the relationships of:

b 2(1)≧ b 2(2)≧ . . . ≧ b 2( m ); and b 2(1)> b 2( m );

n or more wood type golf clubs (wherein, n is an integer of no less than 2) having a loft angle of no greater than 20 degrees, wherein

provided that the face progression b 1 of these n clubs is defined as from b 1 (1) to b 1 (n) following the ascending order of the loft angle a 1 of the club from the smallest value of a 1 , the set satisfies the relationships of:

b 1(1)≦ b 1(2)≦ . . . ≦ b 1( n ); and b 1(1)< b 1( n ), and

wherein in all clubs having a loft angle of greater than 20 degrees, the ratio (a 2 /b 2 ) of the loft angle a 2 (degree) to the face progression b 2 (mm) is 0.7 or greater and 2.0 or less.

3. A golf club set comprising m or more wood type golf clubs (wherein, m is an integer of no less than 2) having a loft angle of greater than 20 degrees, wherein

provided that the face progression b 2 of these m clubs is defined as from b 2 (1) to b 2 (m) following the ascending order of the loft angle a 2 of the club from the smallest value of a 2 , the set satisfies the relationships of:

b 2(1)≧ b 2(2)≧ . . . ≧ b 2( m ); and b 2(1)> b 2( m );

n or more wood type golf clubs (wherein, n is an integer of no less than 2) having a loft angle of no greater than 20 degrees, wherein

provided that the face progression b 1 of these n clubs is defined as from b 1 (1) to b 1 (n) following the ascending order of the loft angle a 1 of the club from the smallest value of a 1 , the set satisfies the relationships of:

b 1(1)≦ b 1(2)≦ . . . ≦ b 1( n ); and b 1(1)> b 1( n ), and

wherein in all clubs having a loft angle of no greater than 20 degrees, the ratio (a 1 /b 1 ) of the loft angle a 1 (degree) to the face progression b 1 (mm) is 0.5 or greater and 1.5 or less.
