Abstract
A shock-absorbing golf club head includes a front recess in the striking face of a golf club head, having a plurality of through holes communicating with a rear recess in order to form a shock-absorbing layer when the front recess and the rear recess are formed into shape. A metal face plate affixed to the striking face is mounted in the front recess. When shock-absorbing material is put into the front and rear recesses, a double layer for shock-absorbing is formed, thereby adding shock-absorbing, shock-lessening, and stability to the golf club head to give better ball control.
