1. A golf club head comprising:
a body comprising:
a heel end, a toe end, a crown, a sole, a front end, and a rear end;
wherein the heel end, the toe end, the crown, the sole, the front end, and the rear end define an interior cavity;
wherein the interior cavity comprises an internal surface that extends along the heel end, the toe end, the crown, the sole, the front end, and the rear end;
a first rib protruding from the internal surface;
wherein the first rib comprises:
a first, first-rib end;
a second, first-rib end opposite the first, first-rib end; and
a first rib height;
wherein the first rib height is substantially orthogonal to the internal surface;
wherein the first rib height varies from the first, first-rib end to the second, first-rib end;
a second rib protruding from the internal surface;
wherein the second rib comprises
a first, second-rib end;
a second, second-rib end;
a second rib height;
wherein the second rib height is substantially orthogonal to the internal surface;
wherein the second rib height varies from the first, second-rib end to the second, second-rib end;
a connecting rib extending between the first rib and the second rib to connect the first rib and the second rib together;
wherein the connecting rib comprises a first end integrally formed with the first rib, and a second end integrally formed with the second rib;
wherein the connecting rib comprises a height measured substantially orthogonal to the internal surface;
wherein the height of the connecting rib varies from the first end to the second end;
a first side rib located on the internal surface at the heel end;
a second side rib located on the internal surface at the toe end; and
wherein the second side rib is located closer to the crown than the first side rib;
wherein:
the golf club head further defines a ground plane that is tangent to the sole when the golf club head is at an address position;
wherein the first side rib and the second side rib are oriented at an angle between 20 degrees and 160 degrees from the ground plane.
