Abstract:
In one embodiment the golf club head includes three main components, a frame component, a rear cap component, and a striking plate. In another embodiment the club head may also comprise a front component, which is manufactured as a single unitary piece, and a rear cap component. The front component may also be overmolded by a thermoplastic polymeric outer portion which may or may not cover the striking face and which provides additional reinforcement at the load bearing sections of the club head and allows a more facile connection to the rear cap component. In another embodiment, a club head having a main body, crown insert, sole insert and metal face plate frame is formed by forming the sole insert and crown insert from a polymeric material using a thermoforming or thermosetting process and then injection molding the main body over the sole insert, crown insert and metal face plate frame.

Claim (Index 14):
A golf club head having a face, sole, crown, heel and toe, the club head comprising:\n a face component having surfaces defining the face, a sole return portion, a crown return portion, a toe return portion, and a heel return portion; and a rear shell joined to the face component at the sole return portion, crown return portion, toe return portion and heel return portion, the rear shell comprising at least in part a polymeric material, at least one of the sole return portion, crown return portion, toe return portion and heel return portion being connected to the face component by a reinforcing insert, the face component and rear shell having a discontinuity proximate to the insert to form a channel between the face component and rear shell, the channel extending generally parallel to the face.
