Golf-club provided with a club-head having surfaces configured to be covered by air vortex flows
First Claim
1. A golf-club comprising:
- a club-head including a face at which the club-head is arranged to collide in a first direction with a golf ball, a sole, and a ridge structure being on a surface of the sole,the ridge structure including a plurality of first ridges and a plurality of second ridges arranged at an interval, and a U shaped ridge from which the plurality of first ridges and the plurality of second ridges extend outwardly,the plurality of first ridges extending parallel to the first direction and the plurality of second ridges extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction,the interval being larger than a width of each of the plurality of the first ridges.

Abstract
This invention provides a golf club with a club-head configured so as to decrease air resistance of the head by avoiding the air flows from retouching on the head surface. The club-head is provided with a ridge structure which contains a first ridge and a second ridge arranged at intervals in a downward direction of the air flows on at least the sole part of the head, wherein each of the ridges has the height of 0.2 mm to 3 mm and the breadth of 1 mm to 5 mm, the ridge structure being configured by plural ridges so as to displace the inclined angle of the ridges in a clockwise direction, resulting in generation of air vortex or whirls between the head surface and the surrounding air flows as shown in FIG. 2.
