Abstract
Some embodiments of the golf club head described herein comprise a club body, the club body having a crown opposite a sole, a toe end opposite a heel end, a club face opposite a back end, and a hosel. A hosel axis is defined by the hosel, wherein the hosel axis is oriented relative to a plane perpendicular to a surface upon which the sole rests at address to define a hosel tilt. The hosel tilt is greater than zero degrees. The club body defines a resting face angle that is open relative to an intended target line.
