Design and Manufacture

The Dog Face Golf Woodheads and Foe-Woods are of a Hollow Design. Design is manufactured with an enlarged striking face to intentionally alter Center of Gravity, Moment of Inertia and Quality of impact.

In the design and manufacture of golf clubheads, it has been a popular trend to create clubheads, particularly woodheads, which are significantly larger in size and volume than what was popular prior to the 1990's. This trend toward much larger woodheads has become popular because the golfers perceive the bigger heads to be easier to use to make solid contact with the golf ball. The DogFace design creates confidence at address of the shot.

One of the most important shotmaking properties in the design of a golf clubhead is the trajectory that will be achieved when striking a shot with that head. Shot trajectory has a direct effect on shot distance. For the majority of golfers, the higher the shot trajectory, the shorter the distance of the shot will be. For all golfers, increasing distance is one of the most important qualities of playing golf. Dog Face Drivers are designed for lower shot trajectory to tee it higher and let it fly.

The taller the face height, the higher will be the CG, which creates the opportunity for a lower trajectory and greater distance. The CG location, which is ordained by the shape and size of the head, can be somewhat offset by locating substantial amounts of the head's mass in specific areas of the clubhead so as to move the CG toward that accumulation of the mass.

From experience in playing with other clubheads, when a golfer selects a clubhead with a particular loft angle, they expect that clubhead to produce a shot of a known trajectory and distance.

It is also well known within the golf clubmaking industry that the greater the symmetrical accumulation of clubhead mass around the CG, the greater will be the moment of inertia (MOI) of the golf clubhead. A greater MOI is desirable in a clubhead because it allows the to remain more stable when it contacts the golf ball in an area of the clubface that is not in a vertical plane with the CG. Increased stability of the clubhead in a response to an off-center impact with the ball will result in a greater shot distance and accuracy than the result will be from the clubhead which has a lower MOI that makes contact with the ball by the same distance off-center.
