Claims20
A golf club head comprising a face and a body, wherein the face comprises:
- a striking wall comprising an outer surface configured to strike golf balls and an inner surface configured to face inward of the golf club head, wherein the striking wall is formed of a low modulus material,
- wherein the inner surface of the striking wall comprises a center region comprising at least two regions having different wall thicknesses,
- wherein the striking wall further comprises a perimeter flange, the perimeter flange comprising at least a toe area and a heel area of the face, wherein the perimeter flange comprises a mass reduction configuration in the form of a cavity pattern comprising a plurality of cavities, wherein the plurality of cavities are circular-shaped cavities having a diameter of about 3 mm to about 5 mm and are separated from one another by a webbing measuring about 2 mm to about 4 mm, and
- wherein the golf club head has a COR of at least about 0.850, a CT from at least about 302 us, or a combination thereof.

A golf club head comprising a face and a body, wherein the face comprises:
- a striking wall comprising an outer surface configured to strike golf balls and an inner surface configured to face inward of the golf club head, wherein the striking wall is formed of a low modulus material,
- wherein the inner surface of the striking wall comprises a center region comprising at least two regions having different wall thicknesses,
- wherein the striking wall further comprises a perimeter flange, the perimeter flange comprising at least a toe area and a heel area of the face,
- wherein the perimeter flange comprises a mass reduction configuration in the form of a cavity pattern comprising a plurality of hexagon-shaped cavities each having an apothem of about 1.25 mm to about 1.75 mm, wherein each cavity in the plurality are separated from one another by a webbing measuring about 2 mm to about 4 mm, and
- wherein the golf club head has a COR of at least about 0.850, a CT from at least about 302 us, or a combination thereof.
2 more elements
A golf club head comprising a face and a body, wherein the face comprises:
- a striking wall comprising an outer surface configured to strike golf balls and an inner surface configured to face inward of the golf club head;
- wherein the inner surface of the striking wall comprises a center region, and the striking wall further comprises a perimeter flange, the perimeter flange comprising a plurality of regions on the inner surface of the striking wall that extend about the center region,
- wherein the perimeter flange comprises a mass reduction configuration in the form of a cavity pattern, wherein the cavity pattern comprises a plurality of cavities, and wherein each cavity in the plurality of cavities has a depth of about 1.025 mm to about 1.125 mm and are separated from one another by a webbing measuring about 2 mm to about 4 mm.
