Abstract: A golf club head having a striking face having improved abrasion resistance by applying abrasion resistant material to the striking face. Applying abrasion resistant material to the striking face can include the use of electroplating a metal onto the striking face, such as chromium. The striking face can be co-molded with a conductive veil to improve the electroplating process. A physical vapor deposition layer can be further applied to the striking face. Alternatively, a veil can be applied directly to the striking face without electroplating. The veil can be made from compounds such as carbon, aramid, polyetherimide, polyphenylene sulfide, polyether ether ketone, polypropylene, and metals, such as copper.

Abstract: A method comprising, in a striking face of a golf club head, the striking face being formed of a first material having a first hardness, creating a plurality of initial grooves, the initial grooves having a first cross-sectional area (A1) and a first pitch (P1) such that A1/P1>0.0030 in. The method continues with modifying the initial grooves at least by positioning a second material in each of the plurality of initial grooves, the second material having a second hardness that is less than the first hardness, such that the first material and the second material form a plurality of final grooves each having a second cross-sectional area (A2) and a second pitch (P2) such that A2/P2
