Abstract

This paper describes an analytical method for the design of iron golf club heads. The method divides the club head into the basic shape and the back-weighting. The basic shape, which consists of the club face profile, hosel and club face-hosel blend section, is configured directly from geometric specifications. An adaptive random search optimization algorithm is employed to design the back-weighting to obtain desired mass properties for the club head. The designer has control of the general configuration of the back-weighting through the method of geometric influencing. Several dynamically equivalent iron club heads are presented that were designed using this method.
