Abstract

A head (10) for a golf club is provided. The head (10) has the shape of an inverted isosceles triangle. The vertex (18) of the triangle provides a natural aiming point for the golfer. The head includes a thin plate (924) forming the striking face (21) which is plain and has no upper flange as in conventional cavity back irons. A thin rear flange (25) extends from the bottom of the striking face to a large bulbous flange (28) which assists the follow through movement. Heel and toe supporting side flanges are provided but stop short of the upper rim so that it remains plain. The apex or vertex (18) of the isosceles triangle occurs approximately one third in from the toe which moves the centre of gravity towards the heel.
