Abstract
The present invention entails a golf club head having a face, back sole and a leading edge extending between the sole and the face. The sole is shaped such that there are three distinct and separate Surfaces defined thereon. There is an intermediate surface formed on the sole that forms a plateau. On each side of the intermediate plateau there is defined on the sole an outer surface area. One outer surface area breaks away from the plateau and extends generally upwardly towards both the leading edge and the heel of the club. The other outer surface breaks away from the plateau and extends generally upwardly towards the leading edge and the toe area of the club.
Claims23
A golf club head including a face, back, sole, and a leading edge formed adjacent the sole and face;
- the sole including a rear edge portion, an intermediate surface and a pair of outer surfaces disposed on opposite sides of the intermediate surface with the outer surfaces being generally elevated relative to the intermediate surface;
- and wherein in an address position the intermediate surface lies substantially horizontal while the outer surfaces project and extend upwardly, relative to the intermediate surface, from the rear edge portion of the sole to the leading edge of the club.
A golf club head having a face, back, sole and a leading edge that extends adjacent the sole and the face;
- the sole including a rear edge portion, an intermediate surface and two outer surfaces with the two outer surfaces being elevated with respect to the intermediate surface;
- and wherein in an address position, the intermediate surface lies substantially horizontal while at least one of the outer surfaces projects and extends upwardly, relative to the intermediate surface, from the rear edge portion of the sole to the leading edge of the golf club head;
- and wherein the face angle formed between the at least one outer surface and the face is greater than the face angle formed between the intermediate surface and the face.
A golf club head having a face, back, sole and a leading edge that forms an intersection between the sole and the face;
- the sole including a rear edge portion, an intermediate surface that forms a plateau and at least one outer surface;
- in an addressed position, the intermediate surface being substantially horizontal while the at least one outer surface breaks away from the intermediate plateau and extends upwardly relative to the intermediate surface and upwardly from the rear edge portion of the sole towards the leading edge of the golf club so as to for at least two distinct angled surfaces on the sole;
- and wherein the face angle formed between the outer surface and the face of the golf club head is greater than the face angle formed between the intermediate surface and the face of the golf club head.
