Abstract

A golf club set 2 includes a plurality of golf clubs 41 to 45 having different club lengths. Each of the golf clubs 41 to 45 includes a head 6 , a shaft 8 , and a grip 10 . The club length of each of the clubs 41 to 45 is 38.5 inches or greater and 42 inches or less. Face progression of the head 6 is substantially constant. If a moment of inertia of the head about an axis line of the shaft is defined as MI, an MI difference ratio between the adjacent clubs is equal to or less than 3%. Preferably, a loft angle is equal to or greater than 17 degrees in each of all the clubs 41 to 45.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A golf club set comprising a plurality of golf clubs having different club lengths,
wherein each of the golf clubs includes a head, a shaft, and a grip,
the club length of each of the clubs is 38.5 inches or greater and 42 inches or less;
face progression is substantially constant,
if a moment of inertia of the head about an axis line of the shaft is defined as MI, an MI difference ratio between the adjacent clubs is equal to or less than 3%,
the number of the golf clubs in the golf club set is equal to or greater than 3,
a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of a face progression FP is equal to or less than 1 mm,
in all heads of the plurality of golf clubs, a loft angle is equal to or greater than 20 degrees, wherein each of the heads includes a face, the face includes a thick part, the thick part includes thick part middle point, wherein if a height of the thick part middle point is defined as H 2 the H 2 is increased as the club length is decreased, and
all heads of the plurality of golf clubs are hollow.

2. The golf club set according to claim 1 , wherein the MI difference ratio is equal to or less than 2%.

3. The golf club set according to claim 1 , wherein a volume of each of the heads is 70 cm 3 or greater and 150 cm 3 or less.

4. The golf club set according to claim 1 , wherein a depth of a center of gravity based on the axis line of the shaft is substantially constant.

5. The golf club set according to claim 1 , wherein the adjacent clubs mean two clubs having clubs lengths closest to each other in the plurality of golf clubs.

6. A golf club set comprising a plurality of golf clubs having different club lengths,
wherein each of the golf clubs includes a head, a shaft, a face and a grip,
the club length of each of the clubs is 38.5 inches or greater and 42 inches or less;
face progression is substantially constant,
if a moment of inertia of the head about an axis line of the shaft is defined as MI, an MI difference ratio between the adjacent clubs is equal to or less than 3%, and
in all heads of the plurality of golf clubs, a ratio of H 3 /H 4 is greater than 1.0,
wherein:
the face of each golf club includes an inclination thick part extends toward a toe lower side from a heel upper side, a heel thin part, a toe thin part, the inclination thick part being positioned between the heel thin part and the toe thin part, and a transitional part positioned between the inclination thick part and the heel and toe thin parts,
the transitional part includes a first transitional part positioned between the inclination thick part and the heel thin part, and a second transitional part position between the inclination thick part and the toe thin part,
H 3 is defined as a height of the first transitional part measured from a point where a line extending in an up-down direction, orthogonal to a toe-heel direction, passing through a middle point of the inclination thick part intersects the first transitional part, to a point of a lower edge of the face along the up-down direction,
H 4 is defined as a height of the second transitional part measured from a point where the line extending in the up-down direction, orthogonal to a toe-heel direction, passing through the middle point of the inclination thick part intersects the second transitional part, to a point of an upper edge of the face along the up-down direction, and wherein a height of the thick part middle point, measured from the thick part middle point to the point of the lower edge of the face along the up-down direction, is increased as the club length is decreased.
