Abstract
A method and apparatus providing a golf club head configured to minimize sliced golf shots. The golf club head includes a club head body having an external surface with a toe portion, a heel portion and a sole portion, the heel portion having a hosel extending therefrom. The club head body also includes a ball striking face disposed between the toe portion and the heel portion, which defines a horizontal center line and a vertical center line located symmetrically on the ball striking face. The ball striking face includes a bulge radius and a roll radius merging to an apex defined to be along an apex angle ranging from approximately 54° to 80° from the vertical center line toward the toe portion and below the horizontal center line. With this arrangement, the position of the apex is configured to minimize sliced golf shots.
