System and method for forming a golf club head having a composite face

A method of creating a multi-layer composite strike face of a golf club head, the method comprising:

• positioning a first non-cluster panel having a first panel perimeter, a first panel width, a first panel length, a first panel thickness, a first panel longitudinal axis, and a first panel transverse axis;
• creating and attaching a cluster panel to the first non-cluster panel, wherein creating and attaching the cluster panel to the first non-cluster panel comprises:
• attaching a first elongated strip to the first non-cluster panel at a first strip angle relative to the first panel longitudinal axis, wherein the first elongated strip has a first strip width, a first strip length, a first strip thickness, and a first strip longitudinal axis;
• attaching a second elongated strip to a portion of the first elongated strip and a portion of the first non-cluster panel at a second strip angle relative to the first panel longitudinal axis, wherein the second elongated strip has a second strip width, a second strip length, a second strip thickness, and a second strip longitudinal axis;
• and
• attaching a third elongated strip to a portion of the second elongated strip, and a portion of the first non-cluster panel at a third strip angle relative to the first panel longitudinal axis, wherein the third elongated strip has a third strip width, a third strip length, a third strip thickness, and a third strip longitudinal axis;
• and
• positioning and attaching a second non-cluster panel to a portion of the third elongated strip, a portion of the second elongated strip, a portion of the first elongated strip, and a portion of the first non-cluster panel, wherein the second non-cluster panel has a second panel perimeter, a second panel width, a second panel length, a second panel thickness, a second panel longitudinal axis, and a second panel transverse axis.
