Abstract
A process of manufacturing a golf club component includes spreading a thin layer of metal powder over a build plane defined over a build platform and bonding, using a laser, portions of the thin layer of metal powder. The spreading and bonding are repeated until the golf club component is formed. The golf club component comprises a lattice structure positioned within an internal cavity of the golf club component and the lattice structure is interrupted by a solid portion that extends along a bottom side of the golf club component from a toe region of the golf club component to a location between the toe region and a heel region of the golf club component.
