Golf clubs with hosel inserts and methods of manufacturing golf clubs with hosel inserts

A golf club comprising:

• a shaft comprising a shaft tip;
• a golf club head comprising:
• a club head body comprising:
• a first metallic material having a first density;
• a hollow interior;
• a strike face;
• a crown portion comprising a crown hole opening into the hollow interior;
• a sole portion;
• and
• a support structure located between the crown portion and the sole portion, the support structure comprising a structure hole aligned with the crown hole, and the structure hole having a first aperture opening into the hollow interior toward the crown hole and a second aperture opposite the first aperture and opening away from the crown hole;
• a hosel insert comprising:
• a second metallic material having a second density;
• a hollow tubular body;
• a first hosel portion configured to receive the shaft tip;
• a second hosel portion adjacent the first hosel portion, wherein the second hosel portion comprises a hosel flange;
• a first end proximate the crown hole;
• a second end proximate the support structure;
• a sidewall between the first end and the second end;
• a barrier, wherein the barrier separates and isolates the first hosel portion from the second hosel portion such that the shaft tip abuts the barrier when the shaft is inserted into the hosel insert;
• wherein:
• the second density is less than the first density;
• the crown hole is configured to receive the first hosel portion;
• the structure hole is configured to receive the second hosel portion;
• the hosel insert comprises a plurality of voids in non-end portions of the sidewall of a hosel insert surface;
• the hosel insert is fixedly attached to the club head body;
• the structure hole comprises a first part of a two part mechanical fastener;
• the second hosel portion comprises a second part of the two part mechanical fastener;
• the first part is complementary to the second part;
• the hosel flange acts as a stopping mechanism for the two part mechanical fastener;
• and
• the hosel insert is exposed inside the hollow interior of the golf club head.
