Abstract

Means for assisting orientation of a member as it moves in a linear path, especially a golf club head having a flat striking face and substantially flat top and bottom faces, the top face having internal walls defining an aperture in the top face and opening at the bottom face, said walls tapering towards each other so that the aperture reduces in lateral dimensions away from the top face, said walls including two walls inclined to each other in the plane of the top face and also inclined to relatively perpendicular planes.

Claims

1. A golf club head having a flat striking face and substantially flat top and bottom faces, the top face having internal walls defining an aperture in the top face and opening at the bottom face, said walls tapering towards each other so that the aperture reduces in lateral dimensions away from the top face, said walls including at least two walls inclined to each other in the plane of the top face and also inclined to relatively perpendicular planes.

2. A golf club head according to claim 1, wherein said two walls are provided with horizontally extending bands, parallel to the top face, the bands being differently coloured.

3. A golf club head according to claim 1, wherein the walls defining the aperture outline a rhombus or rectangular shape with two opposite apices lying in a vertical plane perpendicular to the striking face.

4. A golf club head according to claim 1, wherein the walls defining the aperture outline a cruciform.
