ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an improved wood-type golf club. More particularly, it relates to a golf club which is designed to give the golfer maximum margin of error in making contact with the club head and the ball to obtain a straight trajectory on the ball. The shaft and the club head are so aligned that if the center line of the shaft is extended it will intercept a plane positioned perpendicular to the base of the club head and pass through the center of gravity of the club head. The striking face of the club head has a number of horizontal corrugations, ranging from 1/64 to 1/8 inch in depth, which act as knuckle to strike the ball. The striking face of the club tapers inward from the bottom to top at an angle between about 10.degree. to 15.degree.. The area of the face nearest the toe of the club head is tapered inward toward the rear of the club head to compensate for side spin that would otherwise be imparted to a ball hit in the toe area. The club head is equipped with corrugations or runners 1/64 to 1/8 inch in depth on the base thereof to aid in keeping the club straight if the bottom of the club comes in contact with the ground prior to hitting the ball.
