Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a golf club head used in a golf game.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Golf clubs have almost the same form in terms of their functions, but as a player,
I want a morphological characterization to identify myself and my clubs at a glance. Also, since each player has a favorite head weight for each count, it is convenient if the head weight can be finely adjusted.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide a golf club head capable of morphologically characterizing a golf club, and to morphologically characterize a golf club. It is another object of the present invention to provide a golf club head capable of finely adjusting a head weight.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, a golf club head according to claim 1 of the present invention comprises:
The present invention is characterized in that a plate depicting a pattern not directly related to the golf competition is attached to the entire surface or a part of the back face.

A golf club head according to a second aspect of the present invention is provided with a rib for partitioning a back face into a plurality of sections, and a plate on which a pattern not directly related to a golf game is drawn in all or some of the sections. Is attached.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a golf club head according to the first or second aspect, wherein the thickness of the plate is changed for each design.
The plate is used as a weight for adjusting a head weight.

[0007] In a golf club, the back face of the head is one of the most noticeable places and the place where the degree of freedom of morphological creation is relatively large,
Conventionally, a number number, a product logo, and the like are attached here at best. Therefore, if a plate depicting a pattern that is not directly related to the golf game is attached here, it is possible to characterize the head or club in terms of its form. The reason why the design is limited to those that are not directly related to the golf competition is to make the characteristics stand out from its unexpectedness, and also to thoroughly prevent confusion.

In a head having a rib provided on a back face, a rib is provided so as to partition the back face into a plurality of sections, and all or some of the sections partitioned by the rib are directly connected to a golf game. When a plate with an unrelated pattern is pasted, the head or club will have a different shape depending on which section the plate is pasted on, or on which section the pattern plate is pasted. Above.

When the plate is relatively large in specific gravity, such as metal, the head weight can be finely adjusted depending on the thickness of the plate, and if the thickness of the plate is changed for each design, The head weight can be adjusted to an arbitrary size only by attaching plates having different designs. As is well known, fine adjustment of the head weight greatly affects the score.
