ABSTRACT:
A golf club head and associated method for minimizing flex of a golf club striking face upon impact with a golf ball. The golf club head comprises a shell having front and rear portions. The front portion includes an impact segment with a striking face for impacting a golf ball. The golf club head advantageously includes a laterally positioned, light weight, hollow support member within the shell for reinforcing the striking face. The method for minimizing flex and thereby maximizing force transferred from a golf club head to a golf ball includes supporting the striking face with a shell and a laterally positioned, hollow support member within the shell.
