The rib on the inner side of the face is provided to protect the face from the impact at the time of hitting the ball. Therefore, it is sufficient that the face surface is provided with the minimum reinforcement for maintaining the strength, and the reinforcement beyond necessity simply increases the head weight. However,
Joint between the face and the sole portion, the rib of this portion since the thickness of the sole portion is thicker than the crown part is superfluous, in which only increase the head weight. Then, the inventor examined the relationship between the face surface strength and the rib reinforcement, and found that only between the inside of the face surface of the head and the face surface side end inside the upper crown portion,
The width of the joints is 2mm or more and 15mm or less, and the thickness of the ribs is 0.5mm or more and 5mm or less. The ribs on the side of the face side are eliminated to maintain the strength of the face side. It has been found that a golf club head which does not increase the head weight even when the face area is increased while increasing the face area can be obtained. If the width of the joint is less than 2 mm or the thickness is less than 0.5 mm, the strength is insufficient and the role of the rib cannot be fulfilled, and the width of the joint is longer than 15 mm. Thickness 5
If the thickness is larger than mm, the weight of the rib increases and the center of gravity cannot be lowered.

The golf club head shown in FIG. 1 is a golf club head having a sole width equal to or greater than the face height and the entire head having a shell structure of a magnesium alloy. The face 1 of the head has a thickness of 3.5 mm, and the sole 2 has a thickness of 5 mm, which is a low center of gravity. In addition, the crown 3 which does not require strength has a thickness of 1 mm.
mm for weight reduction. A triangular rib 4 having 10 mm long sides and a thickness of 1 mm, two sides each serving as a joint portion, is provided only between the upper portion inside the face surface 1 and the end portion on the face surface 1 side inside the crown portion 3. Were inserted at a pitch of 10 mm centering on the face center. The shape, pitch, and number of the ribs 4 are not limited to these, and may be selected so that there is no problem in the face strength in relation to the size of the ribs 4.
