Abstract
A golf club head comprises a face and a golf club head body. The face includes a toe end, a heel end, a crown end, and a sole end. The face defines a thickness from an outer surface to an inner surface of the face. The face defines a leading edge, the leading edge being the forwardmost edge of the face. The golf club head body is defined by a crown, a sole, and a skirt. The crown is coupled to the crown end of the face. The sole is coupled to the sole end of the face. The skirt is coupled to the sole and the crown. The golf club head body defines a trailing edge, the trailing edge being the rearwardmost edge of the golf club head body.

21. A golf club head comprising:
-
a golf club head body defined by a crown, a sole, a skirt, and a face; the face including a toe end, a heel end, a crown end, and a sole end, the face defining a thickness from an outer surface to an inner surface of the face, wherein the thickness of the face is variable; the face including a geometric center that defines an origin of a coordinate system in which an x-axis is tangential to the face portion at a center face and is parallel to a ground plane when the golf club head is in a normal address position, a y-axis extending perpendicular to the x-axis and parallel to the ground plane, and a z-axis extending perpendicular to the ground plane, wherein a positive x-axis extends toward the toe end from the origin, a positive y-axis extends rearwardly from the origin, and a positive z-axis extends upwardly from the origin; the crown coupled to the crown end of the face, the sole coupled to the sole end of the face, and the skirt coupled to the sole and the crown; the golf club head body defining a trailing edge being the rearward most edge of the golf club head body and the golf club head body defining a leading edge being the forwardmost edge of the golf club head body; wherein the crown end of the face having a crown end face thickness defined as a thickness of the face from an outer surface of the face to an inner surface of the face proximate the crown end; wherein the sole end of the face having a sole end face thickness defined as a thickness of the face from an outer surface of the face to an inner surface of the face proximate the sole end; wherein a distance from the leading edge to the trailing edge is at most 97 mm; a weight pad located on the sole within an interior cavity and positioned proximate the face in a forward portion of the sole, wherein the weight pad includes an overhang portion that extends forward from the weight pad toward the face such that the overhang portion of the weight pad overhangs an interior sole surface; wherein a forwardmost portion of the weight pad is offset from the leading edge no more than 10 mm; a weight port formed in the sole of the golf club head and a weight configured to be retained at least partially within the weight port; wherein the golf club head is one of a fairway type golf club head and a hybrid type golf club head; wherein a loft of the golf club head is at least 14.5 degrees. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)

39. A golf club head comprising:
-
a golf club head body defined by a crown, a sole, a skirt, and a face; the face including a toe end, a heel end, a crown end, and a sole end, the face defining a thickness from an outer surface to an inner surface of the face, wherein the thickness of the face is variable; the face including a geometric center that defines an origin of a coordinate system in which an x-axis is tangential to the face portion at a center face and is parallel to a ground plane when the golf club head is in a normal address position, a y-axis extending perpendicular to the x-axis and parallel to the ground plane, and a z-axis extending perpendicular to the ground plane, wherein a positive x-axis extends toward the toe end from the origin, a positive y-axis extends rearwardly from the origin, and a positive z-axis extends upwardly from the origin; the crown coupled to the crown end of the face, the sole coupled to the sole end of the face, and the skirt coupled to the sole and the crown; the golf club head body defining a trailing edge being the rearward most edge of the golf club head body and the golf club head body defining a leading edge being the forwardmost edge of the golf club head body; wherein the crown end of the face having a crown end face thickness defined as a thickness of the face from an outer surface of the face to an inner surface of the face proximate the crown end; wherein the sole end of the face having a sole end face thickness defined as a thickness of the face from an outer surface of the face to an inner surface of the face proximate the sole end; wherein a distance from the leading edge to the trailing edge is at most 97 mm; a weight pad located on the sole within an interior cavity and positioned proximate the face in a forward portion of the sole, wherein the weight pad includes an overhang portion that extends forward from the weight pad toward the face such that the overhang portion of the weight pad overhangs an interior sole surface; wherein a forwardmost portion of the weight pad is offset from the face no more than 12.5 mm; a weight port formed in the sole of the golf club head and a weight configured to be retained at least partially within the weight port; wherein the golf club head is one of a fairway type golf club head and a hybrid type golf club head; wherein a loft of the golf club head is at least 14.5 degrees; wherein a minimum thickness of the overhang portion is no more than 10 mm. - View Dependent Claims (40)
