Abstract

The invention provides a head for a golf club which is able to achieve an increase of a moment of inertia, an expansion of a sweet spot and the like without making higher a technique for producing the head, and does not deteriorate a batting feeling during a golf play. A plated layer is provided on a surface of a metal head, or a plated layer made of a material having a specific gravity larger than that of material a metal head is provided on a surface of the metal head. The metal head is one selected from titanium, aluminum, stainless steel and soft iron, the surface of the metal head is applied with a plated layer whose material property is provided to the surface of the metal head, and a chrome, a nickel, a copper and their alloy is suitable for the plated material. The plated layer is made in a multiple layer structure having two or more layers. The nickel is excellent in an adhesion property and a bonding property against the material to be plated therewith and the chrome is great in both of a specific gravity and a hardness, and a combination of the nickel and the chrome is preferable.
