Abstract:
A ball striking device, such as a golf club head, includes a face having a ball striking surface, an inner surface opposite the ball striking surface, and a thickness defined between the ball striking surface and the inner surface, and a body connected to the face and extending rearward from the face. The face has a modulus gradient across the thickness of the face, such that the modulus of the face varies at different distances from the ball striking surface. The face may also include at least one of an insert, a composite material, a multi-layered structure, and/or a portion treated by a surface treatment to contribute to the modulus gradient.

Claim (Index 11):
An iron-type golf club head, comprising:\n a top portion; a sole portion opposite the top portion; a heel portion; a toe portion opposite the heel portion; a front portion including a ball striking surface and an inner surface opposite the ball striking surface; an insert; a rear cavity opposite the front portion; wherein: the inner surface of the front portion includes a recess that extends from the inner surface towards a portion of the ball striking surface of the front portion; the insert is received within the recess and includes a plurality of layers, wherein each layer of the plurality of layers comprises a different modulus.
