Multi-stage forging process

A forged golf club head comprising:

• a top rail, a sole opposite the top rail, a hosel, a toe region, a heel region opposite the toe region, a rear, a strike face, and a forged cavity formed in a lower rear region, an applique applied to an applique recess in an upper rear region;
• wherein:
• the forged cavity comprises a front wall proximate the strike face, a rear wall space rearwardly of the front wall, a bottom wall, a toe wall, and a heel wall;
• the forged cavity comprises a depth which ranges from 10 mm to 12 mm measured from the bottom wall to a topmost portion of the rear wall, parallel to a loft plane;
• the forged cavity comprises a width which ranges from 3.8 mm to 11 mm, measured from the front wall to the rear wall, perpendicular to the loft plane;
• the forged cavity comprises a top surface plane which intersects a topmost point of the front wall and intersects the topmost point of the rear wall;
• the forged cavity comprises a top surface angle which is the angle between the top surface plane the loft plane;
• the top surface angle ranges between 110 degrees and 130 degrees;
• the forged cavity comprise a cavity height measured parallel to the loft plane, from a sole plane to the bottom wall, the cavity height is between 5 mm and 8 mm;
• the forged cavity comprises a cavity length, measured from the heel wall to the toe wall, between 55 and 65 mm;
• the applique recess is formed in a middle region having a second thickness measured perpendicular to the strike face, the second thickness is between 1 and 3 mm;
• and
• the forged golf club head is forged from a single solid billet.
