ABSTRACT:
Melted thermoplastic is injected into a port in a hollow golf club head at high velocity so that the melted thermoplastic impinges on the club head interior opposite the port. The temperature of the thermoplastic can be such that it adheres and hardens almost immediately upon impact, thereby attaching to and weighting any area which it strikes, or it can be fluid so that the club head can be oriented after injection to have the thermoplastic flow to and weight a desired area. During this process, a weight sensor can monitor the weight of the club head and/or the weight loss in the injection apparatus so as to determine the change of weight in the golf club head. When the desired weight change is achieved, the injection apparatus can halt injection. Preferably, the injection apparatus is a hot-melt adhesive injector of the type commonly used to glue paperboard packaging materials, and the thermoplastic is standard hot-melt adhesive.
