Abstract
A golf club head includes a body, a solid portion, and a lattice structure. The body includes a topline, a sole, and an internal cavity arranged between the topline and the sole. The solid portion is arranged within the internal cavity and is fabricated from a solid material. The lattice structure is arranged within the internal cavity and is formed layer by layer via an additive manufacturing process. The lattice structure defines a lattice volume and the solid portion defines a solid volume. An orientation of the lattice structure between the topline and the sole and a volume ratio between the lattice volume and the solid volume define a location of a center of gravity defined by the body.
