Notice “Chromoly” on neck? Chromoly was all the rage for BMX kids bikes in the late 70’s…light weight yet strong bike frames…

Cosmetics would be my guess. Make it look more tech than it actually is and sell it to the masses.

if i were to take a guess i would say it is a dampening material placed behind the badge to help create a softer feeling club without being a forged iron. Look at the upper left side of the pic and the dark lining around the badge… then follow it down the side of the pic and it appears to run under the badge in the upper section of the face. i don’t imagine that it is a hollow area behind the badge… that would be a nightmare IMHO.

Maybe it’s insulation material between the badge and the Hot Metal irons… ya think .. 😮
