ABSTRACT:
A shield is provided for covering the face of a golf club of the type known as a wood wherein the shield comprises a metallic plate, having the general shape and size to substantially cover a given golf club face; the shield may further comprise a bonding layer sandwiched between the metallic plate and the golf club face for filling voids therebetween and for imparting a cushioning and resilience effect. The shield may be attached to the face of the golf club either by the epoxy bonding layer itself, with adequate adhesive strength to retain the metallic shield, or by pinning devices such as screws, nails, or tacks penetrating through the metallic plate and into the club face. The shield can be of uniform thickness or it can have thickness gradient from one edge to the other for altering the directivity of the club. Specifically, it can have a top-to-sole gradient for changing loft characteristics or it can have a heel-to-toe gradient to counteract horizontal spin and thereby offset a slice or a hook tendency of the club.
