Abstract
A golf club head includes a loft no less than 40 degrees; a striking face; a virtual center plane that is vertical and perpendicular to a virtual striking face plane and includes a face center; a rear face; and a recess. The recess extends in a heel-to-toe direction along an upper sole surface and has a depth that varies in the heel-to-toe direction such that a first depth corresponds with a first location heel-ward of the face center and a second depth corresponds with a second location toe-ward of the face center, the first depth being no less than 10 mm and greater than the second depth by at least 5 mm. An insert is received in the recess. And a center of gravity of the golf club head is spaced no greater than 5.0 mm from the virtual center plane measured in the heel-to-toe direction.
