Wooden club head

Abstract

A wooden club head includes a thin body component and a thin faceplate component. The thin body component has a front engaging opening, a crown, a sidewall, and a sole. The thin faceplate component is coupled with the front engaging opening of the thin body component to form the wooden club head. The thin body component and the thin faceplate component are made of steel alloy having a specific gravity between 6.0 g/cm 3 and 10.0 g/cm 3 . The thin body component has a thickness between 0.25 mm and 0.8 mm, and the thin faceplate component has a thickness between 1.5 mm and 3.0 mm. The wooden club head has an overall volume between 380 cc and 500 cc and an overall weight between 180 g and 220 g.

       3 . The wooden club head as claimed in  claim 1 , with the thin faceplate component being formed by punching or casing. 
   
   
       4 . The wooden club head as claimed in  claim 1 , with the thin faceplate component being formed in a bowl shape. 
   
   
       5 . The wooden club head as claimed in  claim 1 , with the thin faceplate component being made of steel alloy, wherein the steel alloy is stainless steel, martensite steel, carbon steel, low-carbon steel, alloy steel, low-alloy steel, structural steel, super alloy steel or a combination thereof. 
   
   
       6 . The wooden club head as claimed in  claim 5 , with the stainless steel being 17-4PH stainless steel. 
   
   
       7 . The wooden club head as claimed in  claim 1 , with the thin body component being formed by punching or casing. 
   
   
       8 . The wooden club head as claimed in  claim 1 , with the thin body component being made of steel alloy, wherein the steel alloy is stainless steel, martensite steel, carbon steel, low-carbon steel, alloy steel, low-alloy steel, structural steel, super alloy steel or a combination thereof. 
   
   
       9 . The wooden club head as claimed in  claim 8 , with the stainless steel being 17-4PH stainless steel. 
   
   
       10 . The wooden club head as claimed in  claim 1 , with the thin body component being comprised of a thin crown component and a thin sole component, with the thin crown component being coupled on a top side of the thin sole component, with the thin crown component forming the crown of the thin body component, and with the thin sole component forming the sidewall and the sole of the thin body component. 
   
   
       11 . The wooden club head as claimed in  claim 10 , with the thin crown component being coupled with the thin sole component by one of mini pulse plasma welding, brazing, forcible insertion, and bonding. 
   
   
       12 . The wooden club head as claimed in  claim 10 , with the thin crown component being formed by punching or casing. 
   
   
       13 . The wooden club head as claimed in  claim 10 , with the thin crown component being made of steel alloy, wherein the steel alloy is stainless steel, martensite steel, carbon steel, low-carbon steel, alloy steel, low-alloy steel, structural steel, super alloy steel or a combination thereof. 
   
   
       14 . The wooden club head as claimed in  claim 13 , with the stainless steel being 17-4PH stainless steel. 
   
   
       15 . The wooden club head as claimed in  claim 10 , with the thin sole component being formed by punching or casing.
