Abstract
A metal wood-type golf club head has an improved weight distribution and configuration through the inclusion of a ledge interfacing with the ball striking face and upper surface and a peripheral mass positioned along at least the majority of the ball striking face and the crown of the club head and vertical masses behind the ball striking face thereby providing added strength and stability to the club head and minimizing pinging of the club head when the ball contact is made. The club head also has an extended hosel integrally connected to the club head body, and the hosel is preferably connected to the peripheral mass.
