As those skilled in the art will certainly appreciate, many designs have been developed and proposed for assisting golfers in learning and mastering the very difficult game of golf. [0006] Much of the focus of the golf club heads is on ways to shift the weight within the golf club head in a manner which improves the striking characteristics of the club. [0007] As such, a need exists for an improved golf club head which provides for greater versatility in shifting mass about a golf club head in a manner improving the striking characteristics of the golf club head. The present invention provides such a club head, which also provides a club head exhibiting improved strength characteristics. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0008] It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a golf club head including a club head body that includes a striking face, a soleplate, a toe, a heel and a hosel. The club head body includes a body shell composed of the striking face, soleplate, toe and heel, wherein at least a portion of the body shell is composed of a flexible material having a density of less than approximately 2.5 g/cm.sup.3 and tensile strength of at least approximately 465 MPa /(g/cm.sup.3). [0009] It is also an object of the present invention to provide a golf club head wherein the flexible material is composed of carbon nanotubes. [0010] It is also another object of the present invention to provide a golf club head wherein the carbon nanotubes are tiny carbon tubes woven into a sheet of a predetermined size. [0011] It is also a further object of the present invention to provide a golf club head wherein the shell includes a crown which is composed of carbon nanotubes. [0012] It is another object of the present invention to provide a golf club head wherein the club head body has a volume of at least approximately 300 cc. [0013] It is still another object of the present invention to provide a golf club head wherein the club head body has a mass of approximately 180 g to approximately 250 g, and the body shell has a mass of no more than 150 g. [0014] It is yet another object of the present invention to provide a golf club head wherein the soleplate is composed of carbon nanotubes. [0015] It is a further object of the present invention to provide a golf club head wherein the club head is a metal wood type golf club head.
