Title: Hollow golf club head having crown stress reducing feature
Assignee: Taylor Made Golf Company, Inc.
Abstract: A hollow golf club incorporating a stress reducing feature including a crown located stress reducing feature located on the crown of the club head. The location and size of the crown stress reducing feature, and their relationship to one another and other club head engineering variables, play a significant role in reducing the peak stress seen on the golf club’s face during an impact with a golf ball, as well as selectively increasing deflection of the face.
