ABSTRACT:
An innovative golf club head is disclosed that beneficially dampens the transmission of shock and vibration from the front hitting face to the hosel and associated shaft, and is more tolerant of inadvertent mis-hits of the golf ball. The golf club head includes a front hitting face is isolated to some degree from the hosel by a heel-side face aperture located in the front hitting face near the heel between the front hitting face and the hosel. The heel-side face aperture preferably extends through the golf head from the front hitting face to the back face. The invention may reside in blade-type club or in a cavity-back club having a cavity in its back face that defines a perimeter weighted golf club head. In the latter case, the heel-side face aperture may be provided as a slot which connects the front hitting face to the central cavity in the back face. The innovative golf club head may also have a toe slot which connects a toe of the golf club head to the central cavity and "floats" the front hitting face relative to the heel and toe of the club. If desired, the front hitting face may be floated relative to the top rail and sole, as well, such that it forms an "island." In all of the above embodiments, a vibration-dampening material is preferably placed within a fill void consisting of the heel-side face aperture, the central cavity, and the toe slot (as present).
