A method for manufacturing a golf club head includes aging heat treat a sheet material made of a titanium alloy at 650-750 C. for 10-12 hours to obtain an aging heat treated sheet material. The aging heat treated sheet material is hot rolled to form a striking plate. The striking plate is annealed at 700-800 C. for 30-60 minutes to obtain an annealed striking plate. The annealed striking plate is welded to a club head body made of the titanium alloy to form a semi product. The semi product of the golf head is annealed at 500-700 C. for 30-240 minutes to obtain the golf club head. Thus, the golf club head with a Young's modulus higher than 119 GPa can be manufactured.

In an endless rolling line, a speed of a material to be rolled changes with a flying thickness change. A temperature control device executes predictive calculation of a speed change amount of the material to be rolled associated with the flying thickness change and updates a speed pattern. The temperature control device executes feedforward control of an amount of a coolant to cool the material to be rolled based on a latest speed pattern and a measured temperature value of the material to be rolled in an entry side of the heat exchanger. In parallel with the feedforward control, the temperature control device executes feedback control of coolant volume based on an error between the measured temperature value of the material to be rolled in the delivery side of the heat exchanger and a target value.
