Abstract
A lofted golfing iron has the head or blade thereof provided with an integral rearwardly extending top flange or ledge increasing in width from the toe to the heel of the blade or head and defining a sighting rear edge line parallel with the bottom edge of the striking face of the blade or head so that the golfer can easily align the club normal to the intended direction of flight of the ball. The blade or head is connected to the shaft by a hosel projecting rearwardly from the back face of the blade or head at the heel thereof and then inclined away from the blade or head and extending forwardly and upwardly to position the shaft ahead of the top of the striking face of the blade or head thereby exerting a pushing force which decreases the lever arm tending to twist the club upon impacting the ball.
