Transitioning hollow golf clubs
First Claim
1. A set of golf clubs, comprising:
- a plurality of iron-type golf club heads;
each of said club heads having a front face defining a loft angle, and a sole; and
each of said club heads having a sole width that is substantially constant throughout the set;
wherein;
some of said club heads have a hollow space; and
some of said club heads do not have a hollow space.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a set of golf club irons in which some of the club heads have a hollow space, and some of the club heads do not have a hollow space. The hollow space is preferably defined by a lower portion of the front face, a portion of the sole, and a rear wall. The presence of the hollow space moves the club head center of gravity back (away from the face) and down (toward the sole), making it easier to get a golf ball airborne. The volumes of the hollow spaces generally transition or get progressively smaller with an increase in the club loft angle, thus altering the center of gravity location and moments of inertia by different amounts for different clubs. The hollow spaces may be empty or filled, in whole or part.
