ABSTRACT:
A head for a golf club includes a body shell, a face plate held on the body shell for striking the golf ball and an internal element mounted in the body shell for reinforcing the face plate. More specifically, the face plate is deflectable from a static position to a striking position as a result of stress produced when striking the golf ball. Further, a mechanism is provided for maintaining a gap between the reinforcing element and the face plate when the face plate is in a static position so as to provide a cushioning effect immediately upon striking the golf ball. The club head having a face plate mounting assembly in the form of a channel on the body shell, a cooperating lug on the face plate for receipt in the channel and a mounting flange on the body shell for capturing the lug within the channel.
