Abstract

The head assembly of a golf club includes a sound generator or a vibration generator. The sound generator includes a sound hole formed in a head of a driver, a sound pipe attached to the head, and a sound generator attached to an iron. Using the head assembly, since the golfer slowly swings the golf club, improper rapid swing is prevented and head-up is also minimized.

Claims

1. A head assembly of a golf club comprising a sound generating device including one or a combination of at least two of the group of at least a single sound pipe for communicating a cavity formed in a body of a head of a driver with exterior, a sound slit formed in the sound pipe, and a sound hole formed in the head.

2. The head assembly of a golf club as set forth in claim 1, wherein the cavity of the body of the head of the driver is divided by at least one partition.

3. A head assembly of a golf club comprising a sound generating device including at least one metal resonant wall for dividing a cavity formed in a body of a head of a driver, and regularly or irregularly arranged to divide a part or whole of the cavity.

4. A head assembly of a golf club comprising a sound generating device, the sound generating device comprising:

a connection shaft installed to a center of gravity toward the wall of the cavity in a cavity of a body of a head of a driver; and

a vibration pipe or a vibration ball installed to an end of the connection shaft.

5. A head assembly of a golf club comprising a sound generating device, the sound generating device comprising:

a hollow sound device installed to a rear side of a face of a head of an iron and having various shapes such as a golf ball shape;

at least one sound hole formed in the hollow sound device and having various shapes; and

a sound slit.

6. A head assembly of a golf club comprising a sound generating device comprising:

an sighting plate extending from the upper surface of a head of a putter to the rear side thereof; and

a sound generating device detachable to the lower side of the sighting plate and including a sound unit for accommodating a sound disc or a sound ball guided by a slope and colliding against the wall of the head to generate sound and vibration when the head is positioned at the peak of the backswing stroke.

7. A head assembly of a golf club comprising a sound generating device including a plurality of metal sound fins extending from the rear side of a head of a putter and installed at regular intervals to generate sound due to vibration.

8. A head assembly of a golf club comprising a sound generating device, the sound and vibration generating device comprising:

a hollow sensing pipe fixed to a bottom surface of a head in a cavity of a body of the head of a driver, closed by a cap, and having a closed end; and

at least one sensing ball inserted into the hollow sensing pipe and colliding against the closed end to generate sound or vibration when the head is positioned at peak of the swing stroke.
