Metal Wood Club with Improved Moment of Inertia
First Claim
1. A golf club head comprising a face, crown, skirt, hosel and sole,wherein the sole comprises at least a first and a second weight member,wherein a first weight member is located toward and substantially parallel to the face edge of the sole and is substantially centered between the toe edge and heel edge of the sole, andwherein a second weight member is located toward the back edge of the sole and is substantially centered between the toe edge and heel edge of the sole, andwherein the weight members have a higher density than the sole or have a higher thickness than the sole to increase the moment of inertia of the golf club head.

Abstract
A golf club head having at least two discrete weight members positioned on the sole to optimize moment of inertia is disclosed. A first weight member is located toward and substantially parallel with the face edge of the sole. A second member is located toward the back of the sole and substantially centered between the heel and toe edges of the sole. In one embodiment, a golf club head includes a sole comprising four sections and wherein a rib of material connects two of said sections. In another embodiment, a golf club head includes a cavity formed between the crown and sole and having an opening at the back of the club head. In yet another embodiment, a golf club head is tapered to form a waist and has a back that has a bowed-shape.
