Abstract
A golf club head, specifically a wood for use on the fairway or in trouble spots, such as sand traps, hard pan, or in the rough. The wood incorporates a metal sole plate which comprises a major portion of the lower face of the head and at least half of the total weight of the head. The sole plate has a pair of spaced parallel runners extending well below the plate and being of substantial cross section, the runners having inclined leading faces to ride or skid on the ground surface with minimum penetration. The weight and shape of the sole plate provides a low center of mass in the head, with the weight distributed over the lower face.
