Wood-type golf club head with internal support structure

Abstract

A wood-style golf club head includes a main body having a face, a crown, a sole, a toe, a heel and a back surface that define an interior space. A support structure including a pair of proximal support frames, a pair of distal support frames and a plurality of struts are positioned radially within the main body. The support structure and the face are constructed from an identical material and flex when the face impacts a golf ball. The support structure functioning to direct the inward flexing motion of the face and the returning flexing motion of the face in a direction that is along the center of axis of the main body to reduce or eliminate lateral flexion of the face relative to the center axis of the main body when striking a golf ball.
