The golf club head of the present invention will be described using some specific embodiments.
(First embodiment)

  FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a golf club according to a first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the golf club 100 has a shaft 110, a head body 120, and a feedback system 130. The shaft 110 is assembled to the head body 120 and the feedback system 130 is disposed on the head body 120 as required. Specifically, the head body 120 has a striking face 122 and a neck 124. The hitting face 122 is for hitting a golf ball. The shaft 110 is assembled to the head main body 120 via the neck 124.

  The feedback system 130 includes a sensing device 132, a feedback device 134 and a power supply device 136. FIG. 2 is a front view of the hitting face of the golf club according to the first embodiment. In FIG. 2, the detection device 132 is disposed in the central region C on the back of the striking face 122 and is electrically connected to the feedback device 134. Feedback device 134 is electrically connected to power supply 136 so that power supply 136 provides the power required by feedback device 134.

  The detection device 132 is a contact detection device or a piezoelectric detection device. The feedback device 134 of this embodiment is a buzzer having a feedback signal H of an audio signal. Of course, this embodiment is not limited to the buzzer as the feedback device 134. The feedback device 134 may be an LED (light emitting diode) and an optical signal having a feedback signal H which is a vibrator or a vibration signal, respectively. In other words, as long as the feedback signal H can be identified and the player can be evoked, the feedback device 134 is acceptable.

  More specifically, the power supply device 136 includes a carrier 138 and a battery 140. The battery 140 is placed on a carrier 138, which is a nut, striking slice or insert. The carrier 138 and the battery 140 are incorporated in the assembly cavity 10 of the head body 120.

  Actually, when the player hits the golf ball at the center area C of the hitting face 122, the hitting face 122 receives a momentary heavy pressure, so that the contact force activates the detecting device 132, and the feedback device 134 outputs the feedback signal H. Output. The feedback signal H alerts the player that the ball has been hit in the center area C of the hitting face 122. Therefore, the player can confirm whether or not the golf ball has been hit accurately to help increase the player's swing.

Of course, the detection device 132 may be disposed in a region other than the central region C of the hitting face 122.
Therefore, when the player hits the golf ball outside the center area C of the hitting face 122, the detection device 132 is activated and the feedback device 134 outputs the feedback signal H. The feedback signal H alerts the player that he did not hit the ball in the center area C of the hitting face 122, so that the player can change its stance and swing.

  If the sensing device 132 is a piezoelectric sensing device, the piezoelectric sensing device transfers the pressure exerted by the ball on the striking face 122 to a current that is transmitted to the feedback device 134 and outputs a feedback signal H. Therefore, the power supply device 136 is not essential.

  FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of another golf club according to the first embodiment. In FIG. 3, the feedback device 134 is disposed on the back surface of the head body 120. When the hitting face 122 hits the ball, the detection device 132 is activated by the contact force, and the feedback signal H is output from the feedback device 134. The feedback signal H is an audio signal, vibration signal or optical signal from different types of feedback device 134.

  Further, the transparent back cover 150 is arranged to protect the feedback device 134, and the manufacturer's trademark or character can be printed on the transparent back cover 150. The material of the transparent back cover 150 is preferably plastic or other material that transmits light. The shape of the transparent back cover 150 is not limited to one shown in FIG. In practice, the transparent back cover 150 has at least one insertion hole 10 a corresponding to the assembly cavity 10. FIG. 3 shows two insertion holes 10a. The number of insertion holes 10 a corresponds to the number of assembly cavities 10.

A transparent back cover 150 is attached to the head body 120, thereby covering the feedback system 130 within the back surface of the head body 120. The transparent back cover 150 is attached by a carrier 138, and the carrier 138 is incorporated at the same time as the insertion hole 10a and the assembly cavity 10. Therefore, the transparent back cover 150 not only displays the manufacturer's trademark, but also has a function of protecting the feedback system 130. The carrier 138 is a nut or an insert. The carrier 138 holds the battery and is suitable for incorporating the battery 140 into the assembly cavity 10 of the head body 120.
(Second Embodiment)

FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional view of a golf club according to the second embodiment. Referring to FIG. 4, the feedback device 234 is located at the end of the shaft 210 and indicates a buzzer, vibrator or LED. Thus, the feedback device 234 can be located closer to the player's eyes, hands, and ears, facilitating the player to sense the feedback signal H from the feedback device 234. The position of the feedback device 234 is not limited to the present invention. As long as the player can receive the feedback signal H, the feedback device 234 may be arranged at any position.
(Third embodiment)

  FIG. 5 shows a cross-sectional view of a golf club according to the third embodiment. Referring to FIG. 5, the golf club head of this third embodiment combines an aperture, a transparent cover, a carrier and a shock absorber as described in detail below.

The opening 30 is disposed at least on the top of the head body 320 and is suitable for combining the transparent cover 340.

  The head body 320 includes an assembly cavity 40, a head body 322, and a neck 324. The assembly cavity 40 is suitable for the assembly of the assembly carrier 350 and the shock absorber 360 (described below). Neck 324 is coupled to shaft 310. The feedback system 330 may be located on the head body 320 according to actual requirements.

  More specifically, the feedback system 330 has a head body 320 and a neck 334. The head body 320 is a piezoelectric detection device, and the neck 334 is an LED. Actually, when the striking face hits the ball, this piezoelectric sensing device is activated, and then the piezoelectric sensing device generates a current in the LED and outputs an optical signal (feedback signal H) that feeds back to the player. The light signal from this LED is transmitted through the transparent cover 340, producing a clear visual effect.

  In FIG. 5, the assembly carrier 350 of the embodiment is a nut, a hit slice or an insert. The shock absorber 360 is, for example, a shock absorbing material made of foam rubber, epoxy, polyethylene, or a combination of these materials. The shock absorber 360 is disposed on the assembly carrier 350 and is incorporated in the assembly cavity 40 together with the assembly carrier 350. Actually, when the ball is hit with the golf club 300, the shock absorber 360 absorbs the impact of the head body 320 in order to reduce the noise generated by hitting the ball, thereby extending the service life of the golf club 300.
