ABSTRACT:
A hollow wood-type golf club is fabricated with a thin layer of elastomeric dampening material coating the inner surface region opposite the ball impacting face and within the hollow cavity of the head shell. The layer provides vibration dampening, improving the play of the club. A low cost, simple method to fabricate the head with the layer includes dispensing a quantity of uncured elastomer in liquid form into the cavity, maintaining the head with the inner surface opposite the ball impacting face at a horizontal attitude to cause the liquid to pool over this inner surface region, and curing the elastomer with the head in this attitude until the elastomer has cured and hardened. Golf iron and putter clubs are described with a vibration dampener consisting of a thin layer of elastomer material adhered to a base cavity surface of a cavity backing the ball impacting surface. Methods for fabricating the iron and putter clubs are described.
