Abstract

Disclosed therein is a golf club for preventing a hook and a slice, which can allow a golfer to easily control the golf club while swinging the golf club since a sole progression having a side width extending backwardly from a club head face and a sole plate having a bottom area are formed small by cutting a part of the rear side of a club head, thereby preventing the hook and slice due to a light weight of the club head and minimization of a frictional area between the ground and the club head.

Claims

1. A golf club for preventing a hook and a slice, which includes a club head face for hitting a golf ball, a sole plate having the bottom face contacting with the ground, a toe outwardly formed at a side of the club head face, and a heel formed curvedly at the other side of the club head face, the golf club comprising:

a cut part formed at a part of the rear side of the club head to reduce an area of the sole plate having the bottom area contacting with the ground;

coupling holes respectively formed on the toe and the heel of the club head face of the club head, each coupling hole having a stepped jaw;

a ring-shaped swing bar having female screws formed at both ends thereof, the swing bar being mounted at the cut part of the rear side of the club head to keep a balance and compensate for a weight of the club head, and being fittingly combined to the club head from the rear side of the club head toward the club head face in such a manner as to be caught by the stepped jaws of the coupling holes; and

coupling bolts respectively fittingly combined to the coupling holes from the club head face toward the rear side of the club head to fix the swing bar to the club head, and screw-coupled to the female screws formed at both ends of the swing bar.

2. The golf club according to claim 1, wherein the size of the club head having the cut part does not exceed a half of the size of the club head of prior arts.

3. The golf club according to claim 1, wherein the swing bar has male screws formed on the outer peripheries of both ends thereof, the ends of the swing bar are respectively fittingly combined to the coupling holes formed on the toe and the heel of the club head, and cap bolts respectively having female screws are coupled to the male screws of the swing bar to fix the swing bar to the club head.
