In order to increase the useful life of a golf club, at least part of the golf club in a region of the striking face is coated with a coating that is neutral in terms of stress or has compressive stresses. The coating is applied by a thermal spraying method with average spray-particle velocities of over 500 m/s. The coating preferably has compressive stresses of between 0 and 600 MPa.
