Abstract

A process of manufacturing a golf club head includes the steps of generating, via an additive manufacturing process, a golf club head. Generating, via an additive manufacturing process, the golf club head includes the steps of printing a first material, layer by layer, along a first plane, and creating a first blow through aperture that allows air to pass from a front portion of the golf club head to a head cavity disposed within a rear portion of the golf club head. The process further includes blowing excess material out from within the head cavity using the first blow through aperture, and removing excess material formed at one or more material deposits disposed along the golf club head.
