Claims10
A golf club head comprising a body having a substantially planar clubface surface, a grooved striking plate affixed to the clubface surface, and an elastic layer between the clubface surface and the striking plate, said elastic layer being a visco-elastic sheet having a thickness in the range of 0.1 to 0.5 mm and an ambient temperature damping factor in the range of 0.4 to 1.2.
A golf club head comprising a body having a substantially planar clubface surface, a grooved striking plate affixed to the clubface surface, and an elastic layer comprising a stack of a plurality of visco-elastic sheets having different damping properties which are at least one of (i) temperature offset for a given vibration frequency and (ii) vibration frequency offset for a given temperature, said stack having a thickness in the range of 0.1 to 0.5 mm and an ambient temperature damping factor in the range of 0.4 to 1.2.
A golf club head comprising a body having a substantially planar clubface, a grooved striking plate affixed to the clubface surface, and an elastic layer between the club face surface and the striking plate, said elastic layer being a visco-elastic sheet comprising a plurality of adjacent zones, at least one of said zones having different damping properties, said sheet having a thickness in the range of 0.1 to 0.5 mm and an ambient temperature damping factor in the range of 0.4 to 1.2.
