Abstract
An iron type golf club head includes a club head having a first body component defining a striking face, and a second body component releasably secured to the first body component with a fastener. The second body component defines at least a perimeter portion of a rear face of the club head body and may define substantially an entire rear face of the club head body.
Claims34
An iron type golf club head comprising:
- a club head having a first body component defining a striking face and a first abutment face, and a second body component having a second abutment face and releasably secured to the first body component with a fastener such that the first and second abutment faces abut one another to define an abutment plane, wherein the second body component defines substantially an entire rear face of the club head, and the fastener includes a first non-threaded interlocking member and a second non-threaded interlocking member, the first and second interlocking members engaging one another to prevent the first and second body components from being separated from one another in a direction extending substantially perpendicular to the abutment plane;
- wherein one of the first and second non-threaded interlocking members includes a recess formed in one of the first and second abutment faces.
