Abstract
A golf club head, and a process of manufacturing a golf club head, in which the golf club head includes a body having an interior space, a cover plate for attachment to the body, the cover plate having a surface forming a golf ball striking surface, and a quantity of material within at least a portion of the interior space, for assisting in securing the cover plate to the body. The quantity of material can be a filler material which is injected or poured, prior to installing the shaft on the club head, through sleeve which communicates with the interior space of the body of the head. Further, the golf club head may also include an internal transverse surface which can be defined, for example, by a separate partition which divides the interior space of the hollow body, so as to reduce the quantity of the filler material, and a member to hold the cover plate in place prior to the introduction of the filler material into the hollow body, for example, a member which is compressed between the internal transverse surface and the cover plate.
