Abstract: A self-aligning, low or no self-torque club that is both statically- and dynamically-balanced is provided which is less prone to deleterious effects during its approach to and while striking the ball Static balance is achieved by ensuing the shaft axis intersects the line between the geometric center of the club face and the center of gravity of the club head. The club is self-aligning because the center of gravity naturally follows the shaft and since the shaft and center of gravity are in-line with the face center, the possibility of striking the ball with the club face square increases. By providing a symmetrical and, preferably elliptical face, forces due to air resistance act equally on both sides of the face with respect to the shaft further aligning the club face with the swing path. To further alignment, the club head may also be provided with a series of convergent channels in the direction of air flow over the club.

Abstract: In an investment casting method, a wax coating is provided to the exterior and interior surfaces of a thin-walled hollow metallic form. The wax coating on the exterior and interior surfaces is coated with a mold forming material. When the metallic form is heated, the wax will melt permitting removal of the form.
