    Abstract: An apparatus and method for forming a hollow golf club head is disclosed. The apparatus includes a first mold cavity having depressions formed therein, a second mold cavity having a shape complementary to the exterior of the desired club head, a ceramic core, and wax injecting means. Each depression of the first mold cavity has a depth equal to a desired wall thickness of a corresponding portion of the club head. When the ceramic core is placed in the first mold cavity and wax is injected, wax protuberances, which correspond to the depressions, are formed about the ceramic core. The wax protuberances position the ceramic core in the second mold cavity, where wax is deposited over the majority of the ceramic core.
