Iron type golf club head and iron type golf club provided with the same

摘要

A configuration of an iron golf-club head is defined as follows in order to offer ease of addressing a ball with face open. In a projected figure of the head focused on a projection plane including a sweet spot and normal to a perpendicular from a center of gravity of the head to a face thereof, a maximum transversal is defined by a straight line cutting across a face contour over the greatest length as passing through an intersection of a leading edge and a straight line drawn from a heel-side end point of a face line in a predetermined direction of the projected figure, and forms an angle of 39° to 50° (inclusive) relative to a horizontal line. The face contour has a radius of curvature of 10 mm to 22 mm (inclusive) in the vicinity of a toe-side intersection of the face contour and the maximum transversal.
