ABSTRACT:
A golf club head has a strike surface and an opposite back face. An insert of a material different than the club head is located on and is flush with the strike surface. A plurality of apertures extend from the back face of the club head towards the insert. Fastening means, such as threaded fasteners, extend through four of the apertures at the back face and attach the insert to the club head. The apertures are filled with an elastomeric material, which provides a vibration dampening feature upon impact of the club head with the golf ball. The vibration dampening feature of the club improves the feedback or the overall feel of the club given to the golfer at impact. The size of the apertures and the amount of the elastomeric material in the apertures combine to vary the amount of vibration dampening and to vary the feel of the club.
