Abstract
A golf club head includes a face plate including a plate front surface constituting a club face, a plate rear surface opposite the plate front surface and having an outer peripheral portion, and a plate side surface, and a head main body being provided with an opening to receive the face plate and a receiving surface formed around a periphery of the opening to support the outer peripheral portion of the plate rear surface. The receiving surface is formed with a partially interrupted discontinuity so that the outer peripheral portion has a non-supported region that is not directly supported by the head main body. A portion of the plate side surface corresponding to the non-supported region is not directly supported by the head main body. The face plate is fixed to the head main body by a plastic deformation portion of the head main body.
