Abstract
A golf club whose ball-striking portion realizes an improved repulsive force against balls and improved durability of as face member against repeated strikes of balls. The face member 16 is made up of a plurality of metallic plates 20, 21 which are superimposed over an entire surface thereof. Each of the metallic plates has an outer peripheral edge extended rearwardly to form an extended portion 22. The extended portion 22 has a rear end portion 23 joined to a body member 17 and a crown member 18 which construct a rear part of the head 1. A repulsive force of the ball-striking portion against balls can be improved by making the metallic plates 20, 21 thinner and more flexible. The durability of the face member 16 can be improved by transmitting the impacts caused by the repeated strikes of balls to the body member 17 and the crown member 18.
