Claims17
An iron type golf club head comprising:
- a striking face portion located at a frontal portion of said iron type golf club head, adapted to strike a golf ball;
- wherein said striking face portion has an external frontal surface that is substantially planar,
- wherein said striking face portion has an internal rear surface that is uneven,
- wherein said external frontal surface and said internal rear surface combine to define a thickness of said striking face portion, and
- wherein said striking face portion further comprises;
- a first region of increased thickness, located near a centroid of said striking face portion, and
- a second region of increased thickness, located away from said centroid of said striking face portion,
- a body portion attached to a rear of said iron type golf club head, wherein said second region of increased thickness is located at a distance of between about 8.0 mm to about 9.0 mm heelward from said first region of increased thickness, and wherein said second region of increased thickness is located at a distance of between about 7.0 mm to about 10.0 mm lower on said striking face portion from said first region of increased thickness.
