Technical Field
The present invention relates to a golf club head and a golf club.
Background
For a wood type golf club head having a hollow head body, it is desirable that the rebound performance be large so as to be able to increase the flying distance of a hit ball. In order to increase the flight distance of a conventional shot, it is effective to increase the deflection of the club face portion.
From such a viewpoint, it has been proposed to provide a reinforcing rib which is plate-shaped in the heel-toe (toe) direction behind the shaft connecting portion on the inner surface of the hollow head (see japanese patent application laid-open No. 2000-176056).
Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
The wood club described in the above publication has the reinforcing rib, so that deformation of the club head rearward of the reinforcing rib is suppressed at the time of impact of the ball, and the energy of the impact is consumed by the deformation of the face portion. Thus, the wood club can effectively flex the club face, and the initial speed of a shot can be increased by utilizing the deformation of the club face, thereby increasing the flight distance of the shot.
However, in this publication, the face portion is only required to be deflected at the time of impact, and no study has been made on the relationship between the deformed shape of the face portion and the increase in the flight distance.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a golf club head and a golf club that can control the deformation operation of a face portion at the time of ball impact and increase the flight distance of a hit ball.
Means for solving the problems
In order to solve the above problem, a golf club head according to an aspect of the present invention includes a hollow head body having a face portion, the head body having a rib on an inner surface thereof, the rib being separated from the face portion and extending in a direction along an outer edge of the face portion, and an average distance between the rib and the face portion being 2mm or more and 20mm or less.
The rib may be formed at a position where a radius of curvature of the inner surface is smallest at least in a direction along an outer edge of the face portion.
The rib may be formed on the entire circumference of the inner surface.
Preferably, a side surface of the rib facing the face portion has an inclination of 20 ° or less with respect to a tangential plane to a face center of the face portion.
The head body may have a shaft mounting portion on an inner surface thereof, and the rib may be connected to the shaft mounting portion.
The shaft mounting portion may also serve as a part of the rib.
The head main body may have a sole portion extending rearward from a lower edge of the face portion, and a weight provided on an inner surface of the sole portion, and the weight may also serve as a part of the rib.
A golf club according to another aspect of the present invention includes the golf club head.
In the present invention, "front" of the head body means a side of the head body which is impacted, and "rear" means a side opposite thereto. The term "face surface" means a range in which the radius of curvature of the front surface of the head body is 100mm or more. The "radius of curvature" is a radius of curvature of a cut edge (excluding irregularities due to a face groove or the like) in a vertical section (a section including a normal line at a measurement point) parallel to a direction in which the curvature is maximum. In addition, the "face portion" refers to a portion having the face surface at the front. The "face center" refers to a vertical center position of the face surface at a center position between both ends of the face surface in the horizontal direction (heel-and-toe direction). The "average interval of the rib from the face portion" refers to an average of the minimum interval and the maximum interval of the rib from the face portion. In addition, the "maximum interval of the rib from the face portion" refers to an interval in which the minimum distance between the rib and the face portion is the largest.
Effects of the invention
The present inventors have made extensive studies and found that the flight distance of a hit ball can be increased by suppressing the spread of the face portion toward the outer peripheral edge side at the time of impact of the ball. In the golf club head according to the aspect of the present invention, since the rib extending in the direction along the outer edge of the face portion is provided on the inner surface of the head main body and the average interval between the rib and the face portion is within the above range, the spread of the face portion toward the outer edge side at the time of ball impact can be suppressed, and the flight distance of the hit ball can be increased.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings as appropriate.
[ first embodiment ]
< Golf club >
The golf club 1 of fig. 1 includes a golf club head 2 and a shaft 3 connected to the golf club head 2. The golf club head 2 itself constitutes an embodiment of the invention.
< Golf club head >
The golf club head 2 is a wood type golf club head. As shown in fig. 2 to 4, the golf club head 2 includes a hollow head main body 11 having a face portion 12. The head body 11 is, for example, a metal wood head, and contains metal such as titanium as a main component. The face portion 12 constitutes the front wall of the head main body 11. The face portion 12 has a face surface 12a on the front thereof. The face surface 12a constitutes an impact surface against which a golf ball collides.
The head main body 11 has, on its inner surface, a rib 13 that is apart from the face portion 12 and extends in a direction along the outer edge of the face portion 12. The rib 13 is disposed behind the face portion 12 apart from the face portion 12. The head body 11 includes a
(Rib)
The rib 13 is connected to the
The rib 13 has the first portion 13a and a second portion connecting both ends of the first portion 13 a. The second portion is constituted by the
The first portion 13a extends across the sole 14,
The height H of the first portion 13a may be uniform or may be locally different. As the lower limit of the average height of the first portion 13a, 3mm is preferable, and 5mm is more preferable. On the other hand, as the upper limit of the average height, 20mm is preferable, and 10mm is more preferable. If the average height does not satisfy the lower limit, there is a fear that deformation of the head main body 11 at the time of ball impact cannot be sufficiently suppressed. On the contrary, if the average height exceeds the upper limit, there is a fear that the weight of the head main body 11 becomes unnecessarily large. The "average height" refers to a value obtained by averaging the maximum value and the minimum value of the height H.
As the upper limit of the maximum height of the first portion 13a, 20mm is preferable, and 15mm is more preferable. If the maximum height exceeds the upper limit, the weight of the head main body 11 may become unnecessarily large.
From the viewpoint of suppressing deformation of the head main body 11 at the time of ball impact, a greater effect is expected to be obtained by increasing the height H of the first portion 13a than by increasing the thickness T of the first portion 13 a. Therefore, it is preferable that the thickness T of the first portion 13a is smaller than the height H of the first portion 13 a.
The thickness T of the first portion 13a may be uniform or may be locally different. As the lower limit of the average thickness of the first portion 13a, it is preferably 0.5mm, more preferably 0.7 mm. On the other hand, as the upper limit of the average thickness, 3.0mm is preferable, and 1.0mm is more preferable. If the average thickness does not satisfy the lower limit, there is a fear that deformation of the head main body 11 at the time of ball impact cannot be sufficiently suppressed. On the contrary, if the average thickness exceeds the upper limit, there is a fear that the weight of the head main body 11 becomes unnecessarily large. The "average thickness" refers to a value obtained by averaging the maximum value and the minimum value of the thickness T.
The face 12 side surface 13b of the first portion 13a is preferably flat. By making the side surface 13b flat in this manner, the first portion 13a can be easily brought close to the face portion 12 over the entire region in the longitudinal direction thereof.
As described above, the rib 13 extends in a direction along the outer edge of the face portion 12. In other words, the ribs 13 extend in a direction across the sole 14,
The lower limit of the average distance D between the rib 13 and the face portion 12 is 2mm, preferably 3 mm. On the other hand, the upper limit of the average distance D is 20mm, preferably 10mm, and more preferably 5 mm. If the average distance D does not satisfy the lower limit, a part of the rib 13 may be connected to the face portion 12 or the like, and the rib 13 may not be easily formed. On the other hand, if the average distance D exceeds the upper limit, there is a fear that the expansion of the face portion 12 toward the outer peripheral edge side at the time of ball impact cannot be sufficiently suppressed.
The rib 13 is preferably formed at a position where the radius of curvature of the inner surface of the head main body 11 is smallest at least in the direction along the outer edge of the face portion 12. Specifically, for example, the rib 13 is preferably formed at a position where the radius of curvature of the inner surface of the head main body 11 is smallest on a plane cut by a virtual plane parallel to the tangent plane X of the face center 12 b. The position where the radius of curvature is smallest is provided, for example, on the inner surface of the
The rib 13 is formed on the entire circumference of the inner surface of the head main body 11. In the golf club head 2, the rib 13 is formed on the entire circumference of the inner surface of the head main body 11, so that the position of the outer edge of the face portion 12 is easily fixed at the time of ball impact, and the spread of the face portion 12 to the outer edge side can be more reliably suppressed.
As shown in fig. 4, the upper limit of the inclination (inclination in the height direction) α of the side surface of the rib 13 facing the face portion 12 (more specifically, the side surface 13b of the first portion 13a facing the face portion 12) with respect to the tangential plane X of the face center 12b of the face portion 12 is preferably 20 °, more preferably 15 °, and still more preferably 10 °. On the other hand, the lower limit of the inclination α can be set to 0 °. When the inclination α is 0 °, the side surface 13b of the first portion 13a facing the face portion 12 can be parallel to the tangential plane X. If the inclination α exceeds the upper limit, it may be difficult to suppress the spread of the face portion 12 toward the outer peripheral edge.
The rib 13 has rigidity such that deformation of the head body 11 at the time of ball impact can be suppressed. The rib 13 is made of metal, for example, as a main component. The ribs 13 are of the same material as the sole 14,
On the other hand, the ribs 13 may be attached to the sole 14, the
< advantage >
As a result of extensive studies, the present inventors have found that it is effective to suppress the extension of the face portion 12 toward the outer peripheral edge side at the time of impact of a ball and to suppress the spread of force applied in the impact direction in order to increase the flight distance of a hit ball. In the golf club head 2, the rib 13 extending in the direction along the outer edge of the face portion 12 is provided on the inner surface of the head body 11, and the average distance D between the rib 13 and the face portion 12 is within the above range, so that the face portion 12 can be prevented from spreading toward the outer peripheral edge side at the time of ball impact. This increases the rebound performance, increases the initial velocity of the shot, reduces the spin amount, and increases the flight distance of the shot.
Since the golf club 1 includes the golf club head 2, the flight distance of a shot can be increased.

The golf club head 30 of fig. 6 may be used in place of the golf club head 2 of fig. 1. The golf club head 30 includes a hollow head main body 31 having a face portion 12. The head main body 31 of the golf club head 30 has, on its inner surface, a rib 33 that is away from the face portion 12 and extends in a direction along the outer edge of the face portion 12. The average distance between the rib 33 and the face portion 12 is 2mm to 20 mm.
The head main body 31 has a sole 14 extending rearward from the lower edge of the face portion 12, and a weight 34 provided on the inner surface of the sole 14. The golf club head 30 can have the same configuration as the golf club head 2 of fig. 1 except that the head main body 31 includes the weight 34. Therefore, only the weight 34 will be described below.
The weight 34 adjusts the weight balance of the golf club head 30 by being disposed on the inner surface of the sole 14. The weight 34 is made of, for example, metal, and is preferably formed integrally with the bottom 14 from the same material as the bottom 14. The specific shape of the weight 34 is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape.
The weight 34 doubles as a part of the rib 33. Specifically, the weight 34 is provided continuously rearward from the rear side surface of the first portion 33a of the rib 33 disposed on the inner surface of the
< advantage >
In the golf club head 30, the weight 34 doubles as a part of the rib 33 (that is, the rib 33 includes the weight 34), and thus the rib 33 has a function of suppressing expansion of the face portion 12 toward the outer peripheral side at the time of ball impact in addition to the weight balance adjustment function of the golf club head 30. Therefore, the golf club head 30 can increase the flight distance of the shot.

The embodiment does not limit the configuration of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments may omit, replace, or add components of the respective portions of the embodiments based on the description of the present specification and the common technical knowledge, and it should be construed that all of them belong to the scope of the present invention.
The golf club head may not necessarily have the rib formed on the entire circumference of the inner surface of the head main body. In the
The rib may not necessarily be connected to the shaft mounting portion in the golf club head. The
In this golf club head, even when the rib is connected to the shaft mounting portion, the shaft mounting portion may not double as a part of the rib. For example, the first portion may be formed on the inner surface of the shaft mounting portion.
The arrangement of the ribs can be set in accordance with the shape of the golf club head. The rib may be configured not to be formed at a position where the radius of curvature of the inner surface of the head main body is smallest in a direction along the outer edge of the face portion.
The height, thickness, etc. of the ribs may also be shaped locally to adjust the weight balance of the golf club head. In the second embodiment, the structure in which the rib height is locally increased to locally increase the rib strength has been described, but the golf club head may locally increase the rib thickness to locally increase the rib strength. However, from the viewpoint of enhancing the effect of suppressing the deformation of the head main body per unit mass, it is preferable to increase the height of the rib rather than the thickness of the rib.
The golf club head may be provided with projections and depressions on an outer surface of the head main body. The unevenness affects the ease of deformation of the head body at the time of ball impact. Therefore, in the case where the golf club head has the unevenness formed on the outer surface of the head body, it is preferable to adjust the strength of the rib in consideration of the influence of the unevenness on the deformation of the head body.
Industrial applicability of the invention
As described above, the golf club head according to one embodiment of the present invention is suitable for increasing the ball flight distance.
