from above.
b. Dimensions, Volume and Moment of Inertia
(i) Woods
When the club is in a 60 degree lie angle, the dimensions of the clubhead
must be such that:
• the distance from the heel to the toe of the clubhead is greater than the
distance from the face to the back;
• the distance from the heel to the toe of the clubhead is not greater than
5 inches (127 mm); and
• the distance from the sole to the crown of the clubhead, including any
permitted features, is not greater than 2.8 inches (71.12 mm).
These dimensions are measured on horizontal lines between vertical
projections of the outermost points of:
• the heel and the toe; and
• the face and the back (see Fig. VIII, dimension A);
and on vertical lines between the horizontal projections of the outermost
points of the sole and the crown (see Fig. VIII, dimension B). If the
outermost point of the heel is not clearly defined, it is deemed to be 0.875
inches (22.23 mm) above the horizontal plane on which the club is lying
(see Fig. VIII, dimension C).
