The present disclosure relates to golf clubs and golf club heads. Particular example aspects of this disclosure relate to golf clubs and golf club heads having indicators for indicating particular regions of the golf club head.
Golf is enjoyed by a wide variety of players—players of different genders and dramatically different ages and/or skill levels. Golf is somewhat unique in the sporting world in that such diverse collections of players can play together in golf events, even in direct competition with one another (e.g., using handicapped scoring, different tee boxes, in team formats, etc.), and still enjoy the golf outing or competition. These factors, together with the increased availability of golf programming on television (e.g., golf tournaments, golf news, golf history, and/or other golf programming) and the rise of well known golf superstars, at least in part, have increased golf's popularity in recent years, both in the United States and across the world.
Golfers at all skill levels seek to improve their performance, lower their golf scores, and reach that next performance “level.” Manufacturers of all types of golf equipment have responded to these demands, and in recent years, the industry has witnessed dramatic changes and improvements in golf equipment. For example, a wide range of different golf ball models now are available, with balls designed to complement specific swing speeds and/or other player characteristics or preferences, e.g., with some balls designed to fly farther and/or straighter; some designed to provide higher or flatter trajectories; some designed to provide more spin, control, and/or feel (particularly around the greens); some designed for faster or slower swing speeds; etc. A host of swing and/or teaching aids also are available on the market that promise to help lower one's golf scores.
The present disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not limited in the accompanying figures, in which like reference numerals indicate similar elements throughout, and in which:
FIG. 1 generally illustrates features of a golf club structure according to at least some examples of this disclosure;
FIGS. 2A-C illustrates a golf club head structure according to at least some examples of this disclosure;
The reader is advised that the various parts shown in these drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale.
The following description and the accompanying figures disclose features of golf club heads and golf clubs in accordance with examples of the present disclosure.
As described above, aspects of this disclosure relate to iron-type golf club heads and golf clubs. Iron-type golf club heads according to at least some example aspects of this disclosure may include: (a) an iron-type golf club head body; (b) a ball striking face; (c) a rear surface opposite the ball striking face, optionally including a perimeter weighting member extending rearward from the ball striking face and along at least a portion of a circumferential area of the golf club head body; and (d) an indicator.
