ABSTRACT:
A hollow wood-type golf club is fabricated with a thin layer of elastomeric dampening material coating the inner hollow cavity of the head shell. The layer provides vibration dampening, improving the play of the club. The vibration dampening material can also be applied in a thickened region at a desired location within the cavity to achieve a desired weighting to affect the balance of the head. A low cost, simple method to fabricate the head with the layer includes dispensing a quantity of uncured elastomer in liquid form into the cavity, coating the inner surface, pouring off the excess material, optionally weighing the head and adding an amount of the liquid elastomer to bring the head up to a desired nominal weight, maintaining the head at an attitude to cause the excess liquid to pool at a location at which additional weight is desired, and oven curing the elastomer with the head in this attitude until the elastomer has cured and hardened.
