Abstract

A metal golf club head includes a main body and a sole plate. The main body has a front wall arranged for impacting a golf ball, a top wall, a bottom wall with an opening formed therein, and a rear wall. The sole plate closes the opening in the bottom wall of the main body. A circular ridge circumscribes the main body opening and projects downwardly from the main body. The sole plate has a circular ridge extending around its periphery and projecting downwardly. When the sole plate is inserted in the main body opening, the circular ridges on the main body and the sole plate are juxtaposed. Then, these circular ridges are fused together in order to affix the sole plate to the main body.
