Abstract
The invention relates to a metal head for a golf club of the 'wood' type, which is provided with a body, and optionally a hosel, the body including one part that is sandblasted or covered with paint, and one part that is polished. The polished part corresponds at least to the surface subjected principally to friction with the ground, and the other part corresponds at least to the surface of the body visible to the golfer when he or she addresses the ball, except for a lower polished zone of the front face, which extends from the striking edge and whose boundary with the upper sandblasted or paint-covered zone forms a substantially horizontal line of demarcation separating the face, when the head rests on the ground for the address of the ball.
