Crosscut wedge golf club

摘要

A golf club head designed for an open face approach is provided. Several factors encountered when hitting a ball from an open face position are addressed by the disclosed club head. As a result, precision, spin rate, loft, and stopping power are significantly improved from an open face strike. The club head includes a club face having a plurality of parallel, non-intersecting grooves extending across the club face and offset at an angle to optimize backspin and minimize sidespin when a ball is struck in the toe region. The club head also provides a sole and/or trailing edge designed to accommodate an open face position and to avoid “thinned” shots.

主权项

1. A golf club head for use with a shaft and providing improved backspin from an open face position, the club head comprising:
a) a hosel coupling the club head to a shaft; b) a flat club face having:
a toe region;a heel region; andbackspin inducing means for increasing induced backspin from the open face position, the backspin inducing means extending across the club face and across the toe region; c) a sole defining a lower region of the club head, the sole having:
a leading edge intersecting the base of the club face;a trailing edge intersecting a back portion of the club head opposite the club face; andopen face accommodating means for readily facilitating an open address and for reducing the likelihood that the leading edge will interfere with the ball when struck with the club face open.
