Wood golf club
First Claim
1. A wood golf club which comprises:
- a head having a face on a front, said head defining a toe at one end of the face and a heel at the other end thereof, having an outer shell made of metallic shells, defining a hollow interior;
a shaft connected to a heel side of the head; and
one or more reinforcing members provided separately inside said outer shell of the head, each of said reinforcing members being tabular, projecting toward the hollow interior, so formed that it is provided nearly along a cross-sectional area of said hollow interior defined in a toe-to-heel direction, a preset distance away from the face to define a preset space therebetween, wherein each reinforcing member is frame-shaped and makes up 20% or more of the cross-sectional area of the hollow interior in a toe-to-heel direction.

Abstract
A wood golf club called a metal wood which suppresses the deformation of a head body at the time of impact, thereby effectively elastically deforming a face to thereby elongate a travelling distance of a ball. An outer shell of a head 1 is constructed of metallic shell members, thus defining a hollow interior 11 inside the head 1. A tabular reinforcing member 20 is provided nearly along a cross-sectional area of the hollow interior 11 defined in a toe-to-heel direction, a preset distance away from the face 2. Thus, the deformation of a sole 4 and a crown 5 can be suppressed, while permitting the sufficient elastic deformation of the face 2.
