ABSTRACT:
A method of fabricating a golf club hosel includes the steps of: (1) providing a mold tool having a cavity corresponding to a hosel having a generally cylindrical boss portion coupled to a horizontal leg portion extending radially from the boss portion, wherein the horizontal leg portion has a width that is less than the outside diameter of the boss portion; (2) providing a mold tool insert slideably coupled to the mold tool along a sliding axis generally perpendicular to the horizontal leg portion; (3) sliding the mold tool insert to a first position such that the mold tool insert forms, within said cavity, a surface of the cylindrical portion and a surface of the horizontal leg portion; (4) filling the mold tool cavity with a material (e.g., a wax material); and (5) sliding the mold tool insert to a second position such that the mold tool insert disengages from the material in the mold tool cavity.
