Abstract:
A golf club head and a method of manufacturing a golf club head are described herein. The golf club head comprises a club face with a face portion, and grooves positioned on the club face. The grooves each comprise a bottom, a first side wall adjacent the bottom, a second side wall adjacent the bottom, a first top radius adjacent the first side wall, and a second top radius adjacent the second side wall. The club face further comprises a second portion positioned between the face portion, and the first top radius and the second top radius. The second portion of the club face allows for the grooves to appear visually wider to a player, which can provide psychological effects to benefit performance, while still conforming to USGA groove widths standards.

Claim (Index 32):
A golf club head comprising:\n a club face comprising:\n a loft; \n a face portion; \n at least one groove in the club face, the at least one groove having a bottom, a first side wall adjacent to the bottom, a second side wall adjacent to the bottom, a first top radius adjacent to the first side wall, and a second top radius adjacent to the second side wall; and \n a second portion located between the face portion and either the first top radius or the second top radius; \n a first thirty degree point defined on the first top radius where a line inclined at thirty degrees from the face portion plane is tangent to the edge of the at least one groove; \n a second thirty degree point defined on the second top radius where a line inclined at thirty degrees from the face portion plane is tangent to the edge of the at least one groove; \n wherein:\n the second portion is not planar and comprises a radius that is larger than the first top radius or the second top radius; \n the second portion extends outward from the first thirty degree point and the second thirty degree point of the at least one groove; \n a length between the face portion and the at least one groove is between approximately 0.002 inch and approximately 0.047 inch; \n the at least one groove is compliant with a Thirty Degree Rule when measured from the first top radius and the second top radius.
