You can prevent it from coming out. In this case, if the head 3 housed in the housing space 9 is brought into contact with the closed end surface and the club shaft 4 is pulled, the head 3 moves together with the head cover 1 without coming out of the housing space 9. The head 3 can also be slid laterally from the opening end face of the head cover 1 and can be taken in and out of the accommodating space 9. In this case, it is desirable to make the head 3 easy to put in and out by widening the opening end face. In any case, it is preferable that the size of the accommodating space 9 is such that the head 3 accommodated in the accommodating space 9 does not rattle in the accommodating space 9 and the head 3 can be easily taken in and out.
