Abstract

A golf club head includes a hollow body with a side hole, a striking face securely connected to the hollow body to cover the side hole, a baffle formed inside the hollow body to be near to a peripheral edge defining the side hole so as to define between the striking face and the baffle a receiving space and a shock absorbing material inserted into the receiving space and securely attached to side walls defining the receiving space.

Claims (26)

1. A method for making a golf club head comprising the steps of:

preparing a hollow body with an opening to mate with a top cover, a neck extending from a portion of the hollow body and a side hole to mate with a striking face;

forming a baffle inside the hollow body to be near a peripheral edge defining the side hole; wherein the baffle has a recess along the peripheral edge of the side hole;

defining a receiving space sandwiched between the striking face and the baffle;

defining a threaded hole in the neck, a through hole extending through the hollow body to communicate with an interior of the hollow body;

defining at least one air escape hole in the baffle to allow air inside the receiving space to escape to the interior of the hollow body; and

filling the receiving space with a shock absorbing material via the through hole.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a step of defining a slit in the hollow body to communicate with the air escape holes after the air escape holes defining step to allow the air inside the hollow body to escape out of the hollow body.

3. A golf club head made by the method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the golf club head comprises:

a hollow body with a side hole;

a striking face securely connected to the hollow body to cover the side hole;

a baffle formed inside the hollow body to be near a peripheral edge defining the side hole so as to define between the striking face and the baffle a receiving space; wherein the baffle has a recess defined along a peripheral edge of the baffle to avoid damage to the baffle when the striking face is secured to the hollow body;

at least one air escape hole defined in the baffle to allow air in the receiving space to escape to an interior of the hollow body; and

a shock absorbing material inserted into the receiving space and securely attached to side walls defining the receiving space.

4. The golf club head as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a through hole is defined through the hollow body to enable the shock absorbing material to be inserted into the receiving space.

5. The golf club head as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the baffle has ribs formed on a side face opposed to the striking face.

6. The golf club head as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the baffle has ribs formed on a side face opposed to the striking face so that strength of the baffle is reinforced.

7. The golf club head as claimed in claim 3 further comprising a slit defined through the hollow body to communicate with the air escape holes to allow air in the hollow body to escape out of the hollow body.

8. The golf club head comprising:

a hollow body with a side hole;

a striking face securely connected to the hollow body to cover the side hole;

a baffle formed inside the hollow body to be near a peripheral edge defining the side hole so as to define between the striking face and the baffle a receiving space and at least one air escape hole defined in the baffle to allow air in the receiving space to escape to an interior of the hollow body; and

shock absorbing material inserted into the receiving space and securely attached to side walls defining the receiving space, wherein a slit is defined through the hollow body to communicate with the at least one air escape hole to allow air in the hollow body to escape out of the hollow body.

9. The golf club head as claimed in claim 8 , wherein a through hole is defined through the hollow body to enable the shock absorbing material to be inserted into the receiving space.

10. The golf club head as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the baffle has ribs formed on a side face opposed to the striking face so that a strength of the baffle is reinforced.

11. The golf club head as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the baffle has a recess defined along a peripheral edge of the baffle to avoid damage to the baffle when the striking face is secured to the hollow body.
