A thickened central region of the striking wall has a maximum thickness, T max, greater than T min but no greater than 2.75. A first thickness Tof the striking wall corresponds with a first location spaced toe-ward from the face center by a first distance Dof between 20 mm and 30 mm. A second thickness Tof the striking wall corresponds with a second location spaced heel-ward from the face center by the first distance Dsuch that Tis greater than Tby no less than 0.05 mm.
