1. A method of making a golf club head, comprising:
- preparing a metal body including a front open end which defines an opening;
preparing a striking plate having a rear surface to be bonded to said front open end of the metal body, one of said front open end of the body and said rear surface of the striking plate providing at least one extension lug, said extension lug located on a section of one of said front open end of the body and said rear surface of the striking plate, said extension lug being protruded to be exposed on an outer circumference of the body;
connecting said striking plate with said front open end by contacting said rear surface with said front open end, thereby creating a clearance between said rear surface and said front open end and around said opening, said clearance having at least one clearance section adjacent said extension lug;
positioning a brazing material on said extension lug provided on one of said rear surface and said front open end and immediately adjacent said clearance section; and
causing said brazing material to melt and to flow into said clearance section through a capillary action, thereby forming a layer of said brazing material between said rear surface and said front open end.

Abstract
A method of making a golf club head is disclosed. A striking plate is attached to a front open end of a metal casing to cover an opening. The striking plate is placed over the front open end by contacting a rear surface of the striking plate with the front open end, thereby creating a clearance between the rear surface and the front open end. A brazing material is positioned on one of the rear surface and the front open end externally of and immediately adjacent the clearance. When the brazing material melts, it flows into the clearance through a capillary action, thereby forming a layer of brazing material between the rear surface and the front open end.
