SOUND-PRODUCING GOLF CLUB

摘要

A golf club is provided with an elongate shaft portion (12) and a club head (24) coupled to the shaft portion. The club head holds an impact surface (46) designed to strike a ball when the club is swung at the ball. The impact surface, club head and shaft all cooperate to produce a drum-like tone when the ball is struck. The club head includes front face with a platform (50) and a clamp (48) that mate and hold the impact surface therebetween. The platform (50) is provided with a raised ridge or brace that is surrounded by the clamp. When the platform and clamp are assembled together, the impact surface is tensioned by the brace to make the impact surface an audibly vibratory surface member. The club head is hollow within to augment the sound produced by the impact surface and has a plurality of ports (78) to an interior cavity (76) to further augment the sound.
