Method of making a golf club

摘要

A golf club, such as a driver, includes a body portion formed of natural uncompressed hard wood having an angled face on one side thereof. A wedge component formed of laminated highly compressed densified wood is bonded to the angled face of the body portion and forms a striking face and partial bottom face for the club head. Weight is concentrated near the striking face and bottom face to improve club controllability, balance and striking efficiency. Pre-weighing of wood veneers prior to compressing enables control and location of club head center of gravity. Final shaping of the club head is accomplished on a copying lathe.
