Abstract:
A golf club head includes a top portion, a sole portion opposite the top portion, and a striking face configured to impact a golf ball. The striking face includes a face center and a variable thickness distribution such that the club head exhibits an Expected COR value of not less than 0.810, the Expected COR value being determined based on the following relationship: Expected   COR = ∑ i = 1 n  ∑ j = 1 m  p ij * c ij The variable c ij  corresponds to an average COR value associated with bin i, j, and the variable p ij  corresponds to a bin-specific impact probability value. And the club head exhibits a characteristic time no greater than 257 microseconds.

Claim (Index 12):
A golf club head comprising:\n a top portion; a sole portion opposite the top portion; and a striking face configured to impact a golf ball, the striking face comprising (i) a face center, (ii) a central region having a thickness between 3.4 mm and 3.9 mm, (iii) a heel region, and (iv) a toe region, the heel region and the toe region each having a thickness between 1.9 mm and 2.4 mm such that the club head exhibits an Expected COR value of not less than 0.810, the Expected COR value being determined based on the following relationship: Expected \ue89e \ue89e COR = \u2211 i = 1 n \ue89e \u2211 j = 1 m \ue89e p ij * c ij wherein:\n (a) a virtual rectangular evaluation region is superimposed onto the striking face, the virtual rectangular evaluation region comprising a first pair of horizontal sides having a length of 45 mm, a second pair of vertical sides having a length of 25 mm, and a geometric center that coincides with the face center; \n (b) the evaluation region is divided into 5 rows (m) having an equal height of 5 mm and is divided into 9 columns (n) having an equal width of 5 mm, thereby forming a matrix of bins having coordinates i and j; \n (c) c ij  corresponds to an average COR value associated with bin i, j; \n (d) p ij  corresponds to a bin-specific impact probability value in accordance with the following: \n P \ue8a0 ( i , j ) = 0.00 \ue89e % 1.60 \ue89e % 2.50 \ue89e % 2.50 \ue89e % 3.00 \ue89e % 2.70 \ue89e % 1.60 \ue89e % 0.80 \ue89e % 0.10 \ue89e % 0.60 \ue89e % 2.10 \ue89e % 3.30 \ue89e % 4.50 \ue89e % 4.60 \ue89e % 4.90 \ue89e % 2.10 \ue89e % 1.60 \ue89e % 0.30 \ue89e % 0.80 \ue89e % 2.00 \ue89e % 3.00 \ue89e % 5.00 \ue89e % 6.00 \ue89e % 4.50 \ue89e % 2.40 \ue89e % 1.80 \ue89e % 0.90 \ue89e % 0.20 \ue89e % 1.20 \ue89e % 2.90 \ue89e % 3.70 \ue89e % 4.00 \ue89e % 3.00 \ue89e % 2.50 \ue89e % 2.10 \ue89e % 1.20 \ue89e % 0.00 \ue89e % 0.70 \ue89e % 1.60 \ue89e % 2.50 \ue89e % 2.90 \ue89e % 2.00 \ue89e % 1.60 \ue89e % 1.60 \ue89e % 1.00 \ue89e % ; and\n (e) the golf club head exhibits a characteristic time no greater than 257 microseconds.
