Abstract:
A putter-type golf club head has a top portion, a bottom portion, a heel portion, a toe portion, and a striking face having a variably textured region. The variably textured region includes a central portion and an outer portion laterally spaced from the central portion towards one of the heel portion and the toe portion. The central portion has a material ratio of less than 20% at a cutoff height of 0.1 mm and the outer portion has a material ratio greater than that of the central portion at the cutoff height of 0.1 mm. Variation of the textured region provides consistent ball speed upon impact at different lateral positions of the striking face.

Claim (Index 13):
A putter-type golf club head that, when oriented in a reference position, comprises:\n a top portion; a bottom portion opposite the top portion; a heel portion; a toe portion opposite the heel portion; and a striking face having:\n a striking face plane; and \n a variably textured region including:\n a virtual central evaluation region defining a 6 mm by 6 mm square region defining:\n a central slope factor SdqC less than 35 degrees and a three-dimensional average roughness SaC less than about 110 \u03bcm; and \n a central surface skewness SskC greater than or equal to 0, and \n \n a virtual outer evaluation region defining a 6 mm by 6 mm square region and laterally offset from the central evaluation region toward one of the heel portion and the sole portion, the outer evaluation region defining:\n an outer slope factor SdqO less than or equal to the central SdqC and \n an outer surface skewness SskO less than the SskC.
