ABSTRACT:
A method of fabricating a wax casting of a golf club iron head including the steps of providing a wax injection tool having a rear cavity projection; providing a collapsible insert that is shaped to provide a desired undercut peripheral region in the rear cavity of the wax casting; installing the collapsible insert on the periphery of the rear cavity projection of the tool; injecting hot wax into the tool and allowing the wax to harden; then removing the hardened wax and insert from the injection tool; and finally removing the insert as a unitary member from the hardened wax, without requiring any form of breakage of the wax casting or the insert such as by distorting its shape. The aforementioned method is accomplished by providing a unique collapsible insert which is preferably made of a polyurethane, silicone, rubber-like material and which is molded into the peripheral undercut region shape and which material may be cured in a desired shape and configuration which can be temporarily distorted and collapsed for removal from the wax casting, but which remembers its original shape and can therefore be re-used numerous times to make additional wax castings.
