Abstract:
A golf club head including a crown, a sole, a hosel, a face and a flexure. The face has a multi-component construction and is configured to provide varying stiffness while minimizing the change in thickness across the face. The flexure is disposed behind the face and provides compliance during an impact between the golf club head and a golf ball.

Claim (Index 10):
A golf club head, comprising:\n a crown defining an upper surface of the golf club head; a sole defining a lower surface of the golf club head, comprising a transmittal portion, a flexure and a rear portion; a side wall extending between the crown and the sole; a hosel extending from the crown and including a shaft bore; and a face defining a ball-striking surface and intersecting the transmittal portion at a leading edge, wherein the flexure is spaced aftward of the ball-striking surface by the transmittal portion, and comprises a front wall, an apex and a rear wall, wherein the front wall extends into a cavity defined by the golf club head and the rear wall extends into the cavity and the front wall and the rear wall are coupled at the apex, wherein the apex of the flexure has a thickness that is greater than the thickness of the front wall and greater than the thickness of the rear wall of flexure, wherein a thickness of the sole rearward and immediately adjacent the rear wall of the flexure is less than 70% of the minimum thickness of the transmittal portion, wherein the face comprises an outer layer forming a portion of the ball striking surface, a back layer and a chip insert, and the outer layer and back layer are coupled and define an enclosed cavity and the chip insert is disposed in the enclosed cavity, and wherein the face has a Face Thickness Ratio of less than about 0.875, wherein the Face Thickness Ratio is defined as a thickness of the outer layer at the geometric face center divided by a thickness of the backing layer at the geometric face center.
