<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a golf club head having enhanced forgiveness on mishit shots and improved dynamic-excitation response. <P>SOLUTION: The golf club head includes a strike face 106, a top portion 110, a bottom portion 112, a heel portion 105, a toe portion 103, and a hosel 101 having a central axis located in a first imaginary vertical plane. A discrete, at least partially curvilinear stiffening element, having generally vertical side surfaces, may be coupled to at least one of the top portion and the bottom portion to improve the dynamic-excitation response of the club head. Preferably, the stiffening element is oriented such that an imaginary horizontal line intersects at least one of the vertical surfaces of the stiffening element at at least two points. Additionally, the stiffening element may have at least two inflection points located along a non-linear path characterized by vertical projection of one of the side wall surfaces onto at least one of the bottom portion and the top portion of the club head. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
