Patent Images
1. A golf club head comprising:
- a sole;
a crown;
a toe;
a heel opposite the toe;
a strike face generally bounded by a face perimeter edge, the strike face comprising a geometric center that is associated with a first coefficient of restitution value;
a rear portion;
a substantially enclosed interior cavity at least partially delimited by the sole, the crown, the strike face, and the rear portion; and
at least one rib having a first portion secured to the strike face and a second portion secured to the crown, the at least one rib being structured and positioned such that a location on the strike face laterally spaced toe-ward from the geometric center by no less than 0.4 in is associated with a second coefficient of restitution value that is no less than 0.825 and greater than the first coefficient of restitution value.

8. A golf club head comprising:
-
a sole; a crown; a toe; a heel opposite the toe; a strike face generally bounded by a face perimeter edge, the strike face comprising a geometric center associated with a first coefficient of restitution value and a strike face location spaced from the geometric center that is associated with a maximum coefficient of restitution that is no less than 0.825 and greater than the first coefficient of restitution value; a rear portion; a substantially enclosed interior cavity at least partially delimited by the sole, the crown, the strike face, and the rear portion; and at least one rib having a first portion secured to the strike face, and a second portion secured to the crown, and being structured and positioned such that the strike face location is toe-ward of the geometric center. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
