DUAL PROCESS GOLF CLUB COMPONENT

摘要

The invention provides methods of making a component for a golf club by shaping a workpiece by a first process and also shaping the workpiece by a second process that includes electrical discharge machining. A first process such as forging or casting can shape the gross morphology of the workpiece and material can be removed by the second process to form desired features or textures. In certain aspects, the invention provides a golf club head with a club head body having a face, a sole, a toe, a heel, and a hosel extending upwards from a heel-side of the club head body when the club head is at address. A part of the club head body is formed by the first process, with material having been removed from the part by the second process.
