Claims29
A golf club head comprising:
- a sole;
- a crown;
- a skirt;
- a striking face;
- an interior cavity defined by the sole, the crown, the skirt, and the striking face;
- a junction interconnecting the sole, the crown, and the skirt to the striking face, the junction comprising a height H between about 1 mm and about 20 mm and a length between about 1 mm and about 20 mm;
- and
- at least one stiffening mound at least partially disposed within the junction proximate at least one of the sole and the skirt, no stiffening mound being disposed proximate the crown.
