Abstract

A plurality of golf club heads wherein the difference in spin is minimized is disclosed herein. More specifically, the present invention discloses a plurality of fairway wood type golf club head with a volume of between about 110 cubic centimeters (cc) and about 250 cc, wherein the change in backspin between any two clubs within the plurality of metal wood type golf club heads is less than about 600 revolutions per minute (rpm). A plurality of golf clubs in accordance with the present invention may generally have all of its clubs maintain a center of gravity (CG) location that is less than about 8.0 mm away from a neutral axis of the golf club head regardless of the difference in loft of the specific golf club head within the plurality of golf club heads.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A plurality of golf club heads comprising:
a first hollow golf club head comprising;
a first striking face located at a front portion of the first golf club head, the first striking face having a first face center defining a first neutral axis normal to the first striking face and passing through the first face center, the first striking face having a first loft angle of greater than about 14 degrees and less than about 24 degrees and
a first center of gravity located at a first CG location distance away from the first neutral axis, and

a second hollow golf club head comprising;
a second striking face located at a front portion of the second golf club head, the second striking face having a second face center defining a second neutral axis normal to the second striking face and passing through the second face center, the second striking face having a second loft angle of greater than about 14 degrees and less than about 24 degrees, wherein the first loft angle is greater than the second loft angle, and
a second center of gravity located at a second CG location distance away from the second neutral axis, wherein a difference between said first CG location distance and said second CG location distance is less than about 1.00 mm,

wherein a first spin to loft ratio of the first golf club head is less than a second spin to loft ratio of the second golf club head,
wherein the spin to loft ratio is defined as a backspin of a golf ball after being impacted by the golf club head divided by the loft angle of the golf club head, the backspin is generated by swinging the golf club head at a velocity of between about 80 mph to about 85 mph with an attack angle of between about −2 degrees to about 2 degrees.

2. The plurality of golf club heads of claim 1 , wherein the first CG location distance and the second CG location distance are less than about 8.0 mm and greater than about 5.0 mm.

3. The plurality of golf club heads of claim 1 , wherein the difference between the first CG location distance and the second CG location distance is less than about 0.75 mm.

4. The plurality of golf club heads of claim 1 , wherein the first golf club head has a volume of greater than about 110 cc and less than about 250 cc.

5. The plurality of golf club heads of claim 1 , wherein the second golf club head has a volume of greater than about 110 cc and less than about 250 cc.
