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 14):
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 nanoclay filler material; co-molding the variable thickness core compound with the first and second pluralities of prepreg plies to form a combination material; shaping the combination material into a patch; co-molding the patch to a surface of a golf club head; and affixing a cap to the patch so that the cap does not completely cover the patch, 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.
