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 15):
A golf club head comprising:\n a cast metal body comprising;\n a striking face section having an exterior surface, an interior surface, an upper perimeter and a lower perimeter; \n a crown return portion extending rearward from the upper perimeter of the striking face section; \n a sole section portion extending rearward from the lower perimeter of the striking face section; \n a first solid rod comprising a first upper end, a first midpoint, and a first lower end; and \n a second solid rod comprising second upper end, a second midpoint, and a second lower end, \n wherein each of the first upper end and the second upper end is connected to the crown return portion, \n wherein each of the first lower end and the second lower end is connected to the sole section, \n wherein each of the first solid rod and the second solid rod is positioned approximately parallel with the interior surface of the striking face section, \n wherein the first solid rod and the second solid rod extend parallel to one other, \n wherein each of the first solid rod and the second solid rod is spaced from 0.136 inch to 0.210 inch from the interior surface of the striking face section, \n wherein no portion of the first solid rod and the second solid rod makes contact with the striking face section, and \n wherein each of the first solid rod and the second solid rod has a variable diameter.
