必要である。2. Description of the Related Art In order to increase the initial velocity of a golf ball at the time of hitting and increase the flight distance of the ball, it is important to make the coefficient of restitution between the ball and the club head as close to 1 as possible. It is desirable to synchronize the deformation cycle of the head with the deformation cycle of the ball. When the mass of the golf ball is m b , the mass of the club head is m c , the rigidity of the ball is K b, and the effective rigidity of the head is K c , the head synchronizes with the deformation cycle of the ball at the time of hitting the ball. In order to deform, it is necessary to satisfy the tuning condition of the following mathematical formula 1.
【0003】[0003]
【数1】Kc=(mc/mb)Kb ## EQU1 ## K c = (m c / m b ) K b
【0004】今、ボールの質量mb を約46gとし、ヘツ

条件を満たすためのボールとヘツドの剛性の関係は、Assuming that the mass m b of the ball is about 46 g and the mass m c of the head is about 200 g, the relationship between the rigidity of the ball and the head for satisfying the tuning condition can be calculated from the above formula 1.
【0005】[0005]
【数2】Kc=4.3 Kb [Formula 2] K c = 4.3 K b

は次の数3から約2610N/mmであることがわかる。[0006] Further, when the head speed at the time of hitting the ball (that is, the initial velocity of the ball) is about 40 m / sec, the maximum load P applied to the ball at the time of hitting is about 14500 N, and the effective value is about 10,000 N. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, the compression deformation amount δ b of the ball at this time is about 3.83.
mm, and the ball rigidity (secant rigidity) K b at this time
It can be seen from the following equation 3 that it is about 2610 N / mm.

It turns out that it must be kg / mm. In addition, the head must be able to deform due to collision with the ball within its elastic range.

For example, a flexible face body is attached to the opening formed in the face portion of the club head body, and the flexible deformation of the face body is used to deform in synchronization with the ball, or the face portion of the club head body is attached. It has been considered that a spring means is interposed between the back surface of the face body and the support surface of the head body, and the spring means is deformed in synchronization with the ball when the face body collides with the ball. On the other hand, a composite face body consisting of a rubber-like elastic layer and a fiber reinforced resin layer covering the surface is fixed in a recess formed in the face portion of the head body, and this composite face body is deformed in synchronization with the ball when hitting. Have been proposed by the present inventors.

あった。However, in the case of the above-mentioned conventional head structure, since a separate member is incorporated into the head main body, the head structure becomes complicated and the manufacture thereof becomes difficult, and the weight of the head is heavy. There is a problem that the distribution is closer to the face surface, the depth of the center of gravity of the head from the face surface becomes shallow, and the directionality of the ball flight deteriorates. Further, since the face body, the spring means, and the like are fixed or engaged with each other, there is a drawback that impact resistance strength and durability are poor.

It is characterized in that a plurality of slits extending along each other are formed in a plurality of rows and arranged in a staggered pattern toward the rear of the head body.

よび耐久性に優れたクラブヘッドとなる。According to the golf club head of the present invention, a plurality of slits are formed in a row near the face surface of the hollow head body and extend at intervals along the periphery of the face surface. Since the slits are arranged in a staggered pattern toward the rear, a plurality of both-end fixed beam portions formed of the head main body wall portion are arranged in a zigzag pattern between adjacent slit rows. Therefore, at the time of hitting the ball, the fixed beam portions at both ends of each row bend under the load distributed by the number of slits in the row at approximately the center of the row, and the beam portions at both ends fixed at the center of the beam portions at both ends of the next row from the ends. A bending load will be applied to. In this way, bending deformations in the elastic regions occur in the fixed beam portions at both ends between the slits arranged in a staggered manner. Therefore, since the head main body has the spring supporting structure in the slit row forming region by utilizing the bending of the both end fixed beam portions, the deformation cycle of the entire head main body at the time of hitting the ball can be almost synchronized with the deformation cycle of the ball. Moreover, since it is sufficient to form a plurality of slits in the head main body and it is not necessary to incorporate a separate member for the spring action, the head structure is simple and the manufacture is easy. Further, since no separate member needs to be engaged or fixed, the club head has excellent impact resistance and durability.

Further, since the head body has slits continuously extending from the vicinity of the neck portion of the face surface to the vicinity of the end portion of the rearmost slit row, it is possible to compress and recover the slit row forming region substantially evenly when hitting a ball. The face surface can be moved in parallel. Therefore, the club head is capable of increasing the flight distance of the ball and stabilizing the directionality of the flight of the ball.

ことができる。FIG. 5 is a schematic enlarged view showing the staggered arrangement of the slits 19. As can be seen from the figure, a plurality of both-end fixed beam portions 21 formed of the wall portion of the head body 11 are formed in a staggered manner between the adjacent slit rows. Therefore, at the time of hitting the ball, the fixed beam portions 21 at both ends of each row have a concentrated load (actually, a distributed load over the width b between the slit end portions, which is distributed by the number of the slits 19 in the row, approximately at the center thereof. For the sake of simplification, it will be described as a concentrated load for the sake of convenience.) While being bent by receiving P, a bending load is applied from both ends thereof to substantially the center of both ends fixed beam portions 21 of the next row. In this way, bending deformations in the elastic regions occur in the fixed beam portions 21 at both ends between the slits 19 arranged in a staggered manner. Therefore, since the head main body 11 has the spring supporting structure in the slit row forming region by utilizing the bending of the both end fixing beam portions 21, the deformation cycle of the entire head main body at the time of hitting the ball can be substantially synchronized with the deformation cycle of the ball. .

ルの飛距離を伸ばすことができる。FIG. 8 shows still another embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the same components as those in the above embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals. In this embodiment, the face surface 12 is provided near the face surface 12 of the head body 11.
A plurality of slits 19 are formed in a plurality of rows (five rows) extending along the periphery of the head body 11 in a zigzag pattern toward the rear of the head body 11. The plurality of slits 19 in each row are arranged along the periphery of the face surface 12 from the vicinity of the neck portion 18 of the top surface 13 of the head body 11 to the vicinity of the neck portion of the sole surface 14. However, unlike the above embodiment, the slit 20 of the above embodiment is omitted in this embodiment. Also in this embodiment, since it is possible to perform elastic deformation substantially in synchronization with the deformation cycle of the ball at the time of hitting in the slit row forming region, it is possible to extend the flight distance of the ball.

ッドを提供することができる。As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the face body behaves elastically within the range of compressive deformation that can be caused by the collision with the ball, and is substantially synchronized with the deformation of the ball. Since it has rigidity, it can extend the flight distance of the ball by effectively utilizing the collision energy with the ball, and does not require a separate member for obtaining the tuning condition, only forming the slit in the head body. As a result, tuning deformation can be generated, so that it is possible to provide a golf club head that has a simple structure, can be manufactured at low cost, and has excellent durability.
