Abstract
A metal wood golf club head including a sole plate and a weight body which is fastened to this sole plate via a spacer. A recess which accommodates the spacer and weight body is formed in a portion of the sole plate, an undercut part is formed in the inside circumferential portion of the recess, and a circumferential groove is formed in the outer circumferential portion of the weight body. When the weight body is press-fitted in the recess with the spacer in between, the spacer is forcibly engaged with the undercut part and circumferential groove, thus allowing the weight body to be firmly fastened to the recess of the sole plate of the club head.
