Abstract:
A golf club head including a striking face, a periphery portion surrounding and extending rearwards from the striking face, wherein the striking face comprises a front surface configured to strike a golf ball and a rear surface opposite the front surface, wherein the rear surface of the striking face comprises a supported region, a support arm spaced from the rear surface of the striking face, the support arm extending from the periphery portion towards the supported region, a deformable element residing between the support arm and the rear surface of the striking face, and wherein the deformable element comprises a front surface in contact with the rear surface of the striking face and a rear surface in contact with the support arm.

Claim (Index 1):
A golf club head comprising:\n a striking face; a periphery portion surrounding and extending rearwards from said striking face; a coordinate system centered at a center of gravity of said golf club head, said coordinate system comprising a y-axis extending vertically, perpendicular to a ground plane when said golf club head is in an address position at prescribed loft and lie, an x-axis perpendicular to said y-axis and parallel to the striking face, extending towards a heel of said golf club head, and a z-axis, perpendicular to said y-axis and said x-axis and extending through said striking face; wherein said striking face comprises a front surface configured to strike a golf ball and a rear surface opposite said front surface; wherein said rear surface of said striking face comprises a supported region; a support arm spaced from said rear surface of said striking face, said support arm oriented substantially parallel to said rear surface of said striking face, said support arm extending from said periphery portion towards said supported region; a deformable element residing between said support arm and said rear surface of said striking face; wherein said deformable element comprises a front surface in contact with said rear surface of said striking face and a rear surface in contact with said support arm; wherein a perimeter of said front surface of said deformable element defines said supported region; wherein said supported region comprises a geometric center; wherein said striking face comprises a plurality of scorelines; wherein said striking face comprises a heel reference plane extending parallel to said y-axis and said-x-axis, wherein said heel reference plane is offset 1 millimeter towards said heel from a heel-most extent of said scorelines; wherein said geometric center of said supported region is located a supported region offset length toeward from said heel reference plane measured parallel to said x-axis; wherein said striking face comprises a striking face length measured from said heel reference plane to a toe-most extent of said front surface of said striking face parallel to said x-axis; and a supported region offset ratio comprising said supported region offset length divided by said striking face length multiplied by 100%, wherein supported region offset ratio is greater than or equal to 40%; wherein said support arm is cantilevered such that it is only affixed to said periphery portion at one end of said support arm; wherein said deformable element comprises an elastomer; wherein at least a portion of said striking face comprises a thickness of less than or equal to 2.4 mm; wherein the highest portion of said support arm is located less than or equal to 35 millimeters above said ground plane, measured parallel to said y-axis; wherein said center of gravity of said golf club head is located less than or equal to 20 millimeters above said ground plane, measured parallel to said y-axis.
