1. A golf club head comprising:
- a club head body, having;
a plurality of outer walls including a striking face wall with an outer surface to address a ball during a golf club stroke and a bottom wall adapted to pass adjacent the ground during the golf club stroke, andat least one generally planar cavity disposed within the interior of said club head body and extending generally rearwardly in a plane outside the plane containing the outer surface of said striking face wall; and
a shock-absorptive vibration damping member, disposed within said cavity;
wherein said vibration damping member substantially fills said cavity.

Abstract
A golf club head which has a club head body, a means to attach the club head body to a shaft, a striking face wall to address a ball during a golf club stroke and a bottom surface adapted to pass adjacent the ground during the golf club stroke, includes a vibration damping member of shock-absorptive material disposed within said club head body and extending in a plane outside the plane containing said striking face wall. The vibration damping member is preferably disposed either substantially perpendicular to said striking face wall or substantially parallel to said bottom surface. The damping member preferably abuts the striking face wall without penetrating therethrough.
