Abstract:
A golf club head includes a top portion, a sole portion opposite the top portion, and a striking face configured to impact a golf ball. The striking face includes a face center and a variable thickness distribution such that the club head exhibits an Expected COR value of not less than 0.810, the Expected COR value being determined based on the following relationship: Expected   COR = ∑ i = 1 n  ∑ j = 1 m  p ij * c ij The variable c ij  corresponds to an average COR value associated with bin i, j, and the variable p ij  corresponds to a bin-specific impact probability value. And the club head exhibits a characteristic time no greater than 257 microseconds.

Claim (Index 1):
A golf club head comprising:\n a top portion; a sole portion opposite the top portion; and a striking face configured to impact a golf ball, the striking face comprising a face center and a variable thickness distribution such that the club head exhibits an Expected COR value of not less than 0.810, the Expected COR value being determined based on the following relationship: Expected \ue89e \ue89e COR = \u2211 i = 1 n \ue89e \u2211 j = 1 m \ue89e p ij * c ij wherein: (a) a virtual rectangular evaluation region is superimposed onto the striking face, the virtual rectangular evaluation region comprising a first pair of horizontal sides having a length of 45 mm, a second pair of vertical sides having a length of 25 mm, and a geometric center that coincides with the face center; (b) the virtual rectangular evaluation region is divided into 5 rows (m) having an equal height of 5 mm and is divided into 9 columns (n) having an equal width of 5 mm, thereby forming a matrix of bins having coordinates i and j; (c) c ij  corresponds to an average COR value associated with bin i, j; (d) p ij  corresponds to a bin-specific impact probability value in accordance with the following: P \ue8a0 ( i , j ) = 0.00 \ue89e % 1.60 \ue89e % 2.50 \ue89e % 2.50 \ue89e % 3.00 \ue89e % 2.70 \ue89e % 1.60 \ue89e % 0.80 \ue89e % 0.10 \ue89e % 0.60 \ue89e % 2.10 \ue89e % 3.30 \ue89e % 4.50 \ue89e % 4.60 \ue89e % 4.90 \ue89e % 2.10 \ue89e % 1.60 \ue89e % 0.30 \ue89e % 0.80 \ue89e % 2.00 \ue89e % 3.00 \ue89e % 5.00 \ue89e % 6.00 \ue89e % 4.50 \ue89e % 2.40 \ue89e % 1.80 \ue89e % 0.90 \ue89e % 0.20 \ue89e % 1.20 \ue89e % 2.90 \ue89e % 3.70 \ue89e % 4.00 \ue89e % 3.00 \ue89e % 2.50 \ue89e % 2.10 \ue89e % 1.20 \ue89e % 0.00 \ue89e % 0.70 \ue89e % 1.60 \ue89e % 2.50 \ue89e % 2.90 \ue89e % 2.00 \ue89e % 1.60 \ue89e % 1.60 \ue89e % 1.00 \ue89e % ; and\n (e) the golf club head exhibits a characteristic time no greater than 257 microseconds.
