Abstract
A hybrid-type club head golf club head having dual-purpose mass pads which simultaneously increase perimeter weighting and discretionary mass by forming at least a portion of a lap joint. A crown insert is coupled to the lap joint and thereby coupled to a portion of the dual-purpose mass pad. The dual-purpose mass pads improve an Iyy/CGy ratio to achieve a higher launch and spin, thereby improving stopping power on approach shots into the green.
