Striking face for a golf club head

A golf club head with an improved sole profile is disclosed herein. More specifically, the present invention discloses various types of irons, including wedges, having a toe portion, a heel portion, and a center portion therebetween, in which a camber radius of a sole as measured from a front to a back of the golf club head changes moving from the toe portion through the center portion to the heel portion. In addition, a bounce angle of the golf club head also changes moving from the toe portion through the center portion to the heel portion. The resulting golf club head improves performance, as this new sole profile allows specific portions of the sole to have a profile that meets the needs at that location.

Variable bounce and heel relief for irons

A device and method for identifying a center of a striking face of a golf club head are disclosed. The center determining device includes a device body having a central opening defined through a first surface of said device body and a second surface opposite said first surface. A first dimension indicator including a pair of first indicator jaws and a second dimension indicator including a pair of second indicator jaws may be disposed on said device body. A first adjuster and a second adjuster are operable to adjust said first separation distance said pair of first indicator jaws and a second separation distance between said second indicator jaws. When the pair of first indicator jaws and the pair of second indicator jaws are equally spaced around the heel, toe, topline, and sole edges of the striking face, the central opening is aligned with the center of the striking face.
