Description

Golf wood club head

The present invention relates to a golf club head, especially a wood club head.

The existing golf wood club head is a hollow body with a special shape. Based on manufacturing requirements, it is tied to the front side of the hollow club head body to form a panel opening, and then the hitting panel is fixed to the panel opening on the front side of the club head body Place to make a hollow wood club head. Alternatively, a ball striking panel is integrally formed on the front side of the hollow club head body. In order to form a hollow inside of the club head body, an upper cover opening is formed on the top of the club head body, and then an upper cover is used to fix the top of the club head body. The opening of the upper cover is made into a hollow wood club head.

Due to the single-layered ball striking panel structure of the aforementioned wood club head structure, the striking elasticity of the ball striking panel is limited, making it difficult to achieve long-distance ball striking performance, and due to poor shock absorption performance, the user may use the wood , Does not have a soft touch to the ball, and is prone to produce unpleasant metallic sounds.

In order to overcome the aforementioned shortcomings of the elasticity and shock absorption of the wooden club head single-layer hitting panel, a thin plate with grooves is further provided on the back of the hitting panel, and shock-absorbing materials are filled in the grooves to make The shock-absorbing material can be located on the back of the hitting panel to provide shock-absorbing function when hitting the ball.

The multilayer structure in which the inner panel with grooves are fixed on the back of the hitting panel and the shock-absorbing material is filled in the grooves can provide shock absorption performance, but the structure of the multilayer hitting part of the aforementioned wood club head is poorly designed , It is difficult to exert good hitting elasticity, and the shock absorption performance is limited. In addition, there are inconveniences in the manufacturing process of the wood club head, and further improvement is necessary.

The object of the present invention is to provide a golf wood club head, which solves the problems of the existing wood club heads that are difficult to provide better hitting elasticity, shock absorption performance, and inconvenient manufacturing.

In order to achieve the foregoing objective, the golf wood club head proposed in the present invention includes: a metal club head body, which includes a body base and a rod connecting portion formed on one side of the body base, and the front side of the body base is formed A panel opening with a fixed ring wall at the inner periphery of the panel opening, a top cover opening is formed on the top of the body base; a metal batting panel, welded and fixed to the panel opening on the front side of the club head body; A backrest plate, which is fixed on the fixed ring wall of the club head body and is located behind the hitting panel. There is a filling space between the backrest plate and the hitting panel; an elastic colloid, which is formed and filled In the filling space between the backrest plate and the hitting panel; and an upper cover, the cover being fixed to the upper cover opening at the top of the base of the main body.

With the aforementioned structural invention of the golf wood club head, it mainly utilizes the combination structure of the front side of the wood club head with a metal ball striking panel, an elastic gel and a back plate. Among them, the strike plate and the backrest The plates are respectively fixed to the club head body to expand the range of the elastic gel, so that it can use the elastic gel between the ball striking panel and the back plate to increase the elasticity of the whole hitting part and increase the hitting distance. On the other hand, It can improve the shock absorption performance of absorbing impact after hitting the ball, achieving a soft touch when hitting the ball, and reducing the unpleasant metal sound when hitting the ball.
