ABSTRACT:
A golf club iron has a metallic club head including a solid metallic club head body with a bottom surface including a sole that contacts a flat surface when the bottom surface of the club head is placed onto a flat surface, a top surface, a hosel extending from the club head body, and a front face on the club head body. The heel and toe of the club are angled upwardly from a trailing edge central sole region, so that a central sole region has a length of from about 1/4 inch to about 3/4 inch to reduce the potential contact area of the club head with the ground. There is a recess in the rear face of the club head body, with a rim around the recess having a thickness of from about 5/16 inch to about 1 inch measured in the central portion of the rear face of the club head body, to lower the center of gravity of the club head. The angle between a tangent plane to the bottom surface and a ground plane lying perpendicular to the axis of the hosel is about equal in degrees to the club head designation number, producing an increased bounce angle of the club head.
