Abstract
A wood golf club head has a sole plate, a crown, a strike face and a hosel that are all made of metal and are welded together. The sole plate is formed by forging to have different thicknesses at different parts and has a weight formed as a thicker part of the sole plate. Therefore, when the wood golf club head is manufactured, the shape, the size and the position of the weight is precisely set based on the design of the wood golf club head. Then the gravity center of the wood golf club head is accurately determined. Moreover, since the weight is directly formed on the sole plate without any gaps and the shape of the weight is simple and smooth, the wood golf club head performs a clear and pleasing striking sound while it strikes.
