Abstract
A golf club head includes a resilient member extending from a sole of the club head to the crown. The resilient member has a convex, arcuate shape relative to a strike face of the club. The resilient member has a rest state prior to impact with a golf ball, in which the resilient member defines a first chord length, and a deflected state during impact with a golf ball, in which the resilient member defines a second chord length that is greater than the first chord length. The resilient member improves impact response of the strike face to allow strike face thickness to be reduced while maintaining durability of the golf club head.
