The cup face includes a face portion and a rising portion extending from a peripheral edge of the face portion on a rear surface side of the face portion. The peripheral edge of the face portion includes a top line on a top side and a sole line on a sole side. The face portion includes a central region and peripheral regions. The central region includes a face center, extends from the sole line to the top line while being inclined from the sole side to the top side along a direction from the heel side toward the toe side, and does not reach the toe-side edge point. The peripheral regions are thinner than the central region and surround the central region on the toe side and the heel side. | 12-31-2015 |

20160038798 | GOLF CLUB HEAD WITH VARIABLE THICKNESS FACE TO BODY TRANSITION - A golf club having variable face to body transition is disclosed herein. More specifically, the present invention relates to a golf club head having an indented transition region that helps facilitate the transition of thickness variation from the striking face to a rear aft body. The indented transition region may be located on the crown, the skirt, or the sole, and achieves improved performance by achieving an increased thickness reduction slope. | 02-11-2016 |
20160096081 | GOLF CLUB HEAD OR OTHER BALL STRIKING DEVICE HAVING IMPACT-INFLUENCING BODY FEATURES - A ball striking device, such as a golf club head, has a face with a striking surface configured for striking a ball and a channel extending across a portion of the sole. The channel may be recessed from adjacent surfaces of the sole and have a depth of recession from the adjacent surfaces of the sole. The channel may have a cross-sectional profile that is asymmetric with a front wall and a rear wall where the front wall is longer than the rear wall. The channel may also have a center thickness that is different than a thickness at the heel and toe sides. | 04-07-2016 |
20160096082 | GOLF CLUB HEAD OR OTHER BALL STRIKING DEVICE HAVING IMPACT-INFLUENCING BODY FEATURES - A ball striking device, such as a golf club head, has a face with a striking surface configured for striking a ball where the face has multiple thickness regions. The face has a center region, an upper region, a lower region, a toe region, and a heel region. The upper and lower regions have a ramped thickness extending from a center region to an upper and lower edge of the face. The heel and toe regions have a constant face thickness and have a thickness less than the other regions. Additionally, the club head body has a flange where the face is welded to the club head body. The flange has a thickness that is greater than the thickness of the heel and toe regions of the face. | 04-07-2016 |
