How are golf clubs made of wax?
The mold is inserted into a wax injection molding machine (Figure 2) and boiling hot wax is squirted into the mold. The outcome is a golf club head that is made of wax. A wax mold is made for every piece that is manufactured. For example a set of 9 irons will require 9 wax molds, each representing a different loft.
Who invented the Golf Club?
Ironically, the first manufactured golf club was made by a Scottish bow maker named William Mayne, who was appointed Clubmaker to the court of King James in 1603. Early golf clubs were made entirely of wood.
What materials are used to make golf clubs?
Golf clubs are manufactured from a wide variety of materials, including metals, plastics, ceramics, composites, wood, and others. Different materials are chosen for different parts of the club based on their mechanical properties, such as strength, elasticity, formability, impact resistance, friction, damping, density, and others.
How are golf club heads made?
Once a mold has been produced it is used in the production of each and every club head. As you can see in (Figure 1), the mold is a mirror image of the club head. The mold has two parts to it and has a small opening on the side. The mold is inserted into a wax injection molding machine (Figure 2) and boiling hot wax is squirted into the mold.
