Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a golf club head comprising a plurality of structural connectors, and particularly solid rods proximate the face, is disclosed herein. The method comprises the steps of preparing a wax of a golf club head body, the body comprising first and second through-holes, a hollow interior, and first and second receiving pockets, preparing waxes of first and second solid rods, inserting the first solid rod wax into the first through-hole and seating its lower end in the first receiving pocket, inserting the second solid rod wax into the second through-hole and seating its lower end in the second receiving pocket, bonding each of the first and second solid rods to the body with an adhesive material to form a combined wax mold, and casting a golf club head from the combined wax mold.

Claim (Index 11):
A method comprising:\n preparing a wax of a golf club head body, the wax of the golf club head body comprising a striking face section, a sole section extending from a lower edge of the striking face section, and a return section extending from an upper edge of the striking face section, the striking face section, sole section, and return section defining a hollow body interior, the return section comprising a receiving pocket, and the sole section comprising a through-hole; preparing a wax of a solid rod comprising an upper end and a lower end; inserting the solid rod into the through-hole and seating the upper end in the receiving pocket so that the solid rod is located within 1 inch of a rear surface of the striking face section measured along a vertical plane extending through a face center perpendicular to the striking face section; bonding the solid rod to the body with an adhesive material to form a combined wax mold; and casting a golf club head from the combined wax mold, wherein the through-hole is aligned with the receiving pocket, wherein the solid rod has a variable diameter, and wherein no portion of the solid rod makes contact with the striking face section.
