Abstract
A head of a golf club that comprises a ball striking face. The ball striking face has a top ridge, a leading edge, a heel edge, and a toe edge. The top ridge has a first base length and the leading edge has a second base length that is less than the first base length. The heel edge extends from the top ridge to the leading edge and slants at a first angle, relative to the top ridge, towards the toe edge. The toe edge extends from the top ridge to the leading edge and slants at a second angle, relative to the top ridge, towards the heel edge. The leading edge is arcuate and defines a leading edge radius of curvature.

A head of a golf club, the head comprising:
- a ball striking face having;
- a top ridge, a leading edge, a heel edge, and a toe edge;
- the top ridge having a first base length and the leading edge having a second base length that is less than the first base length;
- the heel edge extending from the top ridge to the leading edge and slanting at a first angle, relative to the top ridge, towards the toe edge;
- the toe edge extending from the top ridge to the leading edge and slanting at a second angle, relative to the top ridge, towards the heel edge;
- the leading edge being arcuate and defined by a leading edge radius of curvature;
- a sole and a trailing edge where the sole extends from the leading edge towards a rear of the head to the trailing edge, and the head has a toe side and a heel side wherein the toe side comprises the toe edge and the heel side comprises the heel edge;
- and
- the trailing edge extends generally linearly between the heel and toe sides.
A head of a golf club, the head comprising:
- a ball striking face;
- a top ridge, a leading edge, a heel edge, and a toe edge;
- the top ridge extending acutely between the toe and heel edges and being spaced from the leading edge and having a first base length and the leading edge having a second base length that is less than the first base length;
- the heel edge extending from the top ridge to the leading edge and slanting at a first angle, relative to the top ridge, towards the toe edge;
- the toe edge extending from the top ridge to the leading edge and slanting at a second angle, relative to the top ridge, towards the heel edge;
- and
- the leading edge extending acutely between the toe and heel edges and being spaced from the leading edge;
- the arc of the leading edge is arcuate and defined by a leading edge radius of curvature of 50 mm or less;
- a sole and a rear and a trailing edge at an intersection of the sole and the rear, and a toe side and a heel side wherein the toe side comprises the toe edge and the heel side comprises the heel edge;
- and
- the trailing edge extends generally linearly between the heel and toe sides.
A head of a golf club, the head comprising:
- a ball striking face;

- the top ridge extending acutely between the toe and heel edges and being spaced from the leading edge and having a first base length and the leading edge having a second base length that is less than the first base length;
- the heel edge extending from the top ridge to the leading edge and slanting at a first angle, relative to the top ridge, towards the toe edge;
- the toe edge extending from the top ridge to the leading edge and slanting at a second angle, relative to the top ridge, towards the heel edge;
- the leading edge extending acutely between the toe and heel edges and being spaced from the leading edge;
- and
- the arc of the leading edge is arcuate and defined by a leading edge radius of curvature of 50 mm or less, wherein the top ridge has a top ridge radius curvature of at least 110 mm.
