Extruded golf club head and method of manufacture

摘要

A golf club head is machined from an extruded bar having an irregular cross-section that is near-net-shape to the vertical profile of the club. To form the club head, the extruded bar is sliced into a club head blank. The blank is secured to a machining fixture and machined into the final configuration. Because the club head blanks are formed from an extrusion that is already near-net-shape to the profile of the club, less metal is removed during the machining operations, which results in faster process times, less wasted material and therefore substantial cost savings over the prior art methods of manufacturing golf club heads.
