Abstract
A golf club head for use in a golf club. The club head has a moulded main body with weighted inserts to improve striking characteristics. The club head includes a shaft anchoring element to attach the club head to a golf club shaft. In one embodiment the club head includes a hardened insert to form a striking face on the golf club. In a further embodiment, the golf club head is formed during a two-step process, first the moulding of a main body, then, the moulding of a insert to form a front face.
