Abstract

A golf club head and method of manufacture in which the golf club head comprises a body having a striking face, side walls, a neck portion and a heel and toe portion formed as an integral unit, said golf club body being attached to a top plate by screwing, gluing or welding wherein the top plate can be constructed of a material different than said body. When the top plate is attached to the body via a screw then a support wedge is formed behind said striking face extending down to the sole plate for structural support of said striking face. The method of the invention involves removal of the inner core forming the interior chamber of said body through the top of said golf club head, said inner core being removable in a single piece from the top portion of the wax impression that is used to manufacture a metal golf club head.
