Abstract:
A golf club head includes a body having a crown opposite a sole, a toe end opposite a heel end, a back end, and a hosel. The golf club head also includes a club face having a loft below a loft threshold in which increasing a coefficient of friction between a golf ball and the club face decreases the spin imparted on the golf ball after impact with the club face. A surface feature positioned on a portion of the club face is configured to increase the coefficient of friction between the golf ball and the club face.

Claim (Index 1):
A golf club head comprising:\n a body having a crown opposite a sole, a toe opposite a heel, a back end, and a hosel; a club face having a loft below 25 degrees in which increasing a coefficient of friction between a golf ball and the club face decreases the spin imparted on the golf ball after impact with the club face, the club face further having a plurality of areas including a first area, a second area, and a third area, wherein: the first area is positioned on a crown side of a center of the club face and extends towards the toe and the crown; the third area is positioned on a sole side of the center of the club face and extends towards the heel and the sole; and the second area is positioned between the first area and the third area; the first area, the second area, and the third area, each comprise a plurality of roughness levels within each area; a surface feature positioned on a portion of the club face configured to increase the coefficient of friction between the golf ball and the club face, the surface feature comprising a surface texture having deviations in the direction of a vector normal to the club face, wherein: the surface texture varies across the club face such that the coefficient of friction between the club face and the golf ball increases in a direction extending from the toe to the heel, and from the crown to the sole.
