Abstract

Apparatus for molding hollow metalwood golf club heads of wax or other material with variations in the lie angle of the neck or hosel relative to the body of the club head, in which two molds with communicating mold cavities are supported for turning of one mold about a pivotal axis to change the angular relationship of the two cavities. The molds have arcuate abutting surfaces coaxial with the pivot for effective meeting relationships in the different positions, the hosel base being slightly oversize to accommodate the displacement, and two core pieces in the molds have part-spherical abutting surfaces, also coaxial with the pivot for effective "kissing off" of the parts. The movable mold is detented in one of eight different positions, in one-degree increments. Another embodiment produces solid-headed irons with selected different lie angles of the hosel, but with only one core piece, which is in the hosel mold.
