Claims
- 1. A method for designing a wood golf club head, the method comprising:
varying the thickness of a striking plate according to the loft angle wherein a higher loft angle has a thinner striking plate.
- 2. The method according to claim 1 wherein the striking plate has a central region and the thickness of the central region is 0.093 inch to 0.105 inch for a ten, eleven or twelve degree loft angle, and the thickness of the central region is 0.099 to 0.111 inch for a seven, eight or nine degree loft angle.
- 3. The method according to claim 1 wherein the striking plate comprises a central circular region having a base thickness, a first concentric region having a first thickness wherein the base thickness is greater than the first thickness, a second concentric region having a second thickness wherein the first thickness is greater than the second thickness, a third concentric region having a third thickness wherein the second thickness is greater than the third thickness, and a periphery region having a fourth thickness wherein the fourth thickness is less than the third thickness.
- 4. A method for designing a set of drivers with loft angles of seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven and twelve, the drivers having the same or substantially the same club head volume, striking plate surface area, shape and appearance, the method comprising:
varying the thickness of a central region of a striking plate according to the loft angle wherein the central region of the striking plate of each of the seven, eight and nine loft angle drivers is thicker than the central region of the striking plate of the ten, eleven and twelve loft angle drivers.
- 5. The method according to claim 4 wherein the thickness of the central region is 0.093 inch to 0.105 inch for a ten, eleven or twelve degree loft angle, and the thickness of the central region is 0.099 to 0.111 inch for a seven, eight or nine degree loft angle.
- 6. The method according to claim 4 wherein the striking plate of each of the drivers comprises a central circular region having a base thickness, a first concentric region having a first thickness wherein the base thickness is greater than the first thickness, a second concentric region having a second thickness wherein the first thickness is greater than the second thickness, a third concentric region having a third thickness wherein the second thickness is greater than the third thickness, and a periphery region having a fourth thickness wherein the fourth thickness is less than the third thickness.
