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;
- a trailing edge;
- a sole extending from the leading edge towards a rear of the head to the trailing edge;
- a toe side comprising the toe edge;
- a heel side comprising the heel edge, wherein the sole arcs between the heel side and the toe side;
- and
- the trailing edge extending generally linearly between the heel side and the toe side.
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 extending arcuately between the toe edge and the heel edge, the top ridge 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 leading edge extending arcuately between the toe edge and the heel edge;
- a trailing edge;
- a sole extending from the leading edge towards a rear of the head to the trailing edge;
- a toe side comprising the toe edge;
- a heel side comprising the heel edge;
- and
- the trailing edge extending generally linearly between the heel side and the toe side.
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 extending arcuately between the toe edge and the heel edge, the top ridge 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 arcuately between the toe edge and the heel edge;
- the arc of the leading edge being defined by a leading edge radius of curvature of 50 mm or less;
- and
- the top ridge having a top ridge radius curvature of at least 110 mm.
