Abstract
An iron-type golf club includes an iron-type golf club head formed of metal by an additive manufacturing process. The iron-type golf club head includes a front side, a rear side, a bottom side, a top side, a toe side, and a heel side, and a body that defines a medial region between a toe region and a heel region. The iron-type golf club head also includes a first plane that extends orthogonal to a ground plane and separates the toe region from the medial region, and a second plane that extends orthogonal to the ground plane and separates the heel region from the medial region. A front face extends along the front side from the toe region, through the medial region, and into the heel region, and the front face and the body are formed of sintered metal by the additive manufacturing process.
