Abstract
Embodiments of golf club heads comprising a club face with a variable thickness profile to adjust stiffness and characteristic time (CT) are described herein. The variable thickness profile comprises strategically positioned thickened and thinned regions. In many embodiments, variable thickness profile can taper from a thickened region to a thinned region. The thickened region can comprise a maximum thickness of the club face, and the thinned region can comprise a minimum thickness of the club face. The variable thickness profiles described in this disclosure increase stiffness in a high toe area of the club face and decrease stiffness in a heel area of the club face.
