Abstract:
A system of golf club heads having reduced variability in characteristic time is disclosed herein. Further, a method of manufacturing a system of golf club heads having reduced variability in characteristic time is disclosed herein.

Claim (Index 17):
A method of manufacturing a system of hollow golf clubs having a particular loft angle, the method comprising:\n providing a plurality of shafts having a first end and a second end; providing a plurality of grips; providing a plurality of club head bodies, wherein each of the plurality of bodies is substantially the same; providing a plurality of stocks having an average elastic modulus, the plurality of stocks further including:\n a first stock having a first elastic modulus within 5% of the average elastic modulus;\n a second stock having a second elastic modulus greater than the average elastic modulus; \n \n a third stock having a third elastic modulus less than the average elastic modulus; \n forming a plurality of face plates from the plurality of stocks, the plurality of face plates having;\n an average thickness profile defining an average maximum thickness and an average minimum thickness;\n a first face plate formed from the first stock, the first face plate having a first maximum thickness approximately equal to the average maximum thickness, and a first minimum thickness approximately equal to the average minimum thickness; \n a second face plate formed from the second stock, the second face plate having a second maximum thickness less than the average maximum thickness, and a second minimum thickness less than the average minimum thickness; \n a third face plate formed from the third stock, the third face plate having a third maximum thickness greater than the average maximum\n thickness, and a third minimum thickness greater than the average minimum thickness; \n \n \n coupling the plurality of face plates to the plurality of club head bodies to form a system of hollow golf club heads having a particular loft angle and a range in characteristic time less than or equal to approximately 20 \u03bcs;\n coupling the system of hollow golf club heads to the first end of the plurality of shafts; and \n coupling the plurality of grips to the second end of the plurality of shafts to form a system of hollow golf clubs.
