GOLF CLUB AND METHOD FOR MAKING SAME

摘要

A golf club head includes a flat metallic stiffener plate 36, 18 welded or otherwise affixed to one side of a metallic member 30, 16. These portions are placed in a suitable mold into which polyurethane is admitted, and heat is differentially applied to or removed from the various surfaces of the mold in order that the polyurethane solidifies to form a substantially flat striking layer 22 of dense integral-skin polyurethane juxtaposed against the stiffener plate remote from the metallic member, and a back cushion 24 enclosing the stiffener plate and all of the metallic member. The back cushion is thicker than the striking layer, and is of polyurethane less dense than that of the striking layer. Preferably, the stiffener plate has marginal portions extending beyond the metallic member, and these marginal portions have apertures through which the polyurethane of the striking layer can integrally bond with the polyurethane of the back cushion.
