ABSTRACT:
A golf club head includes a body (formed of cast titanium, steel, bronze, or the like) with a cavity formed therein behind a front face. An insert (e.g., an elastomeric insert) is provided through an opening exposed on a surface of the body (e.g., the sole of the club head) such that the insert is substantially encapsulated within the body. The opening or openings may be configured to provide a distinct visual appearance through the use of, for example, one or more rectangular and/or circular shapes. One or more supports and/or baffles may be provided within the cavity for altering the sound and feel of the club head during impact. Furthermore, the elastomeric insert may include a plurality of bubbles configured to alter the mechanical properties of the insert. The club head may be fabricated, for example, through the use machining techniques and/or a powdered metal or investment casting process.
