The cast resin 53 has a formed surface formed by the metal part 51 . The cast resin 53 further may have a formed surface formed by the vibration absorber 55 . A base material of the cast resin 53 is an epoxy resin, for example. The cast resin 53 may have a cutting surface PL 1 . The cutting surface PL 1 may be a joint surface of the adherend to the head body h 1 . Preferably, a loss tangent tan δ of the vibration absorber 55 is 0.07 or greater and 0.25 or less.
