Abstract
Provided are a golf club head and a method for producing the golf club head. The golf club head comprises a striking face that in turn comprises a recurrent texture pattern that has a period T and that is defined by a plurality of depressions, each depression having an average depth no greater than 0.10 mm. The striking face also comprises a plurality of scorelines that at least partially intersect the recurrent texture pattern and that have a scoreline pitch Ps such that T/Ps is greater than 1.0, each scoreline having an average depth no less than 0.10 mm.
Claims16
A golf club head comprising a striking face, the striking face comprising:
- a recurrent texture pattern that is a plurality of variably-structured depressions that, in combination, form a characteristic and repeating elemental sequence having a period, T, the period T being defined as a length of the elemental sequence of the recurrent texture pattern measured in its direction of propagation, each depression having an average depth no greater than 0.10 mm;
- and
- a plurality of scorelines that at least partially intersect the recurrent texture pattern and that have a scoreline pitch Ps such that T/Ps is greater than 1.0, each scoreline having an average depth no less than 0.10 mm.
A golf club head, comprising:
- a striking face having:
- a recurrent texture pattern that is a plurality of variably-structured depressions that, in combination, form a characteristic and repeating elemental sequence having a period, T, the period T being defined as a length of the elemental sequence of the recurrent texture pattern measured in its direction of propagation, the period T being no less than 0.20 in and no greater than 0.35 in, and each of the plurality of depressions having an average depth no greater than 0.10 mm.
A golf club head comprising a striking face, the striking face comprising:
- a texture pattern that includes a plurality of arcuate grooves each concentric about a center point located on the striking face and each having an average depth no greater than 0.10 mm;
- and
- a plurality of scorelines that at least partially intersect the texture pattern, each scoreline having an average depth no less than 0.10 mm.
