A set of at least two golf clubs, each golf club being comprised of a head having a toe and a heel, said heel being connected to a shaft, said head having a striking face between said toe and heel with a rounded lower corner at said toe, and a sole extending from said heel to said toe around said rounded corner at said toe, said striking face extending upwardly from said sole between said toe and heel at a unique and acute loft angle, and said head having a backside between said toe and heel extending upwardly from said sole, a portion of said backside having first and second surfaces sloping away from said striking face and toward each other to form a ridge about said rounded corner from a point near the bottom of said rounded corner and adjacent said sole to a point near the top of said rounded corner and adjacent said toe, said ridge extending further away from said striking face at the center of said rounded corner than any other portion of said backside, said first surface being of such sloping configuration and of such rearward extent, and with the club head being so configured, that said first surface may be seen by a person holding said club at the end thereof remote from said head and viewing said golf club head along a line substantially parallel to said shaft, said second surface being connected to said sole and being of such sloping configuration relative to the configurations of said first surface, said sole, and said club head that said second surface may be viewed by a person facing said club head from a direction generally opposite to the direction said shaft extends from said head, and indicia on at least said one of said first and second surfaces indicative of the magnitude of said unique loft angle.
