Definitions
- the invention relates to a head for golf clubs, which is to be connected to the shaft of a golf club via a club neck and which has a striking surface.
- Heads for golf clubs are known in various designs, including the basic embodiments "Woods” (wood), “Irons” (iron), “Wedges” or “Putter”.
- Such heads for golf clubs can consist of wood, plastic, metal or a combination of at least two of these materials.
- Heads for golf clubs of the type mentioned at the outset have proven themselves in principle.
- heads for golf clubs in particular those with a large underside (in particular golf clubs of the "Woods" type), metal is currently used almost exclusively as the material.
- the highest possible club head speed at the moment of contact between the ball and the golf club is required. Because the (small) golf ball, with its relatively high weight, is mostly embedded in the grass, the golf club is swung so deep that the head of the golf club brushes the ground just before and / or when the ball is touched. This contact between the head of the golf club and the ground is disadvantageous, in particular in the case of tall grass, since the head of the golf club is braked and the golf club head is shortened due to the reduced club head speed. Experience has shown that the greatest braking effect occurs when the grass is wet, which is often the case.
- the invention is based on the object of presenting a head for golf clubs in which the braking action is reduced when the swinging head of the golf club contacts the ground, so that a high club head speed is maintained when the head of the golf club touches the golf ball. This object is achieved with the features of independent claim 1.
- Preferred materials can be plastics, such as polyethylene, polyacetral plastic (Delrin, TM) or Teflon. It is also advantageous with these materials that they can be produced in the desired shape in a simple manner by hot stamping or injection molding.
- the head 1 of the "Woods" type shown in the exemplary embodiment preferably consists of metal, such as steel or a titanium alloy, and has a horizontally grooved face 2, a club neck 3, by means of which the head 1 is connected to a shaft (not shown) of a golf club becomes.
- the sole 4 of the head 1 opposite the bat neck 3, that is to say the side of the head 1 which lies opposite the bat neck 3, is provided with a three-dimensional len, fish scale-like profile provided.
- This fish scale-like profile is, for example, an insert in the sole 4 of the head 1 made of low-friction plastic (for example polyethylene, Delrin (TM) or Teflon).
- the drawing also shows that the scales, which form the profile on the sole 4 of the head 1, have convexly curved edges away from the face 2 of the head 1. This improves the friction-reducing effect sought according to the invention.
- the arrangement of the scales forming the profile on the sole 4 of the head 1 is selected such that they are arranged in rows which run obliquely to the face 2 of the head 1.
- the scales are arranged in such a way that the scales are arranged offset from one another in successive rows which run essentially parallel to the striking surface 2.
- the sole 4 of the head according to the invention for golf clubs which carries the fish scale-like profiling, is preferably attached to the head 1 in an exchangeable manner. This can be achieved, for example, by screwing or gluing.
- An advantage of the inventive design of the sole 4 of the head 1 for golf clubs with the fish scale-like profile, in particular the embodiment as described above, has, in contrast to so-called fairway club heads of the "Woods" type, attached to the sole in the direction of impact Ribs or channels, which are intended to reduce the frictional resistance, have the advantage that, in the fish scale-like profiling of the sole 4 according to the invention, there is no increased frictional resistance even if the club head is not swung exactly at right angles above the ground:
