Abstract:
A novel material comprising collections of prepreg plies and a variable thickness core material such as sheet molding compound or metal, methods of forming said material, and golf clubs comprising said material are disclosed herein.

Claim (Index 7):
A method comprising\n providing first and second pluralities of prepreg plies; providing a variable thickness core compound comprising a plurality of bundles of pre-spread carbon fibers having elongated oval cross-sections, a matrix material, and a filler material selected from the group consisting of carbon nanotubes and nanoclays; sandwiching the variable thickness core compound between the first and second pluralities of prepreg plies to form a combination material; shaping the combination material into a patch; and co-molding the patch to a surface of a golf club head, wherein the combination material satisfies at least one equation selected from the group consisting of Dxx Dyy > C \ue89e \ue89e and Dyy Dxx > C , wherein D is the bending stiffness of the combination material, wherein the bundles of pre-spread carbon fibers are randomly assorted within the matrix material, and wherein C is at least 1 and is no more than 1.5.
