Golf club head
First Claim
1. A golf club head comprising:
- a head body; and
a carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) member,wherein the CFRP member constitutes at least a part of a crown or at least a part of a sole,wherein the CFRP member has a uni-direction (UD) lamination part having laminated UD layers,wherein an orientation of a fiber is substantially set to three different angles in the UD lamination part,wherein the UD lamination part has a neutral plane with at least one upper layer above the neutral plane and at least one lower layer below the neutral plane, andwherein an orientation of fiber in an upper layer is substantially equal to an orientation of a lower layer a same number of layers from the neutral plane.

Abstract
A golf club head 2 is provided with a head body h1 and a CFRP member 16. The CFRP member 16 constitutes at least a part of a crown 6 or at least a part of a sole 8. The CFRP member 16 has a UD lamination part 18 having laminated UD layers. Orientation of a fiber is substantially set to three directions in the UD lamination part 18. When the three directions are a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction, preferably, an angle of the second direction to the first direction is substantially +60 degrees, and an angle of the third direction to the first direction is substantially −60 degrees. Preferably, the UD lamination part 18 has a lamination symmetrical property in a fiber orientation angle. Preferably, the number of layers of the UD lamination part 18 is 5 or greater and 12 or less.
