forming the crown component, the crown component substantially matching the CAD net size;
forming the sole component, the sole component substantially matching the CAD net size;
tacking the crown component to the sole component to create tacked aft-body;
tacking the tacked aft-body to the reamed face component to create a tacked golf club head;
welding the tacked golf club head to create a welded golf club head;
grinding the welded golf club head to create a ground golf club head; and
