Abstract: An exemplary golf club head having an increased amount of discretionary mass may be realized by utilizing improved drop angles, an improved average crown height, and/or articulation points. The discretionary mass may be placed low and deep in the club head to improve the location of the center of gravity as well as the inertial properties. A preferred break length may also be utilized to further improve the depth of the center of gravity. In one example, the center of gravity may be positioned to substantially align the sweet spot with the face center of the club head.

Abstract: A golf club head according to one or more aspects of the present invention comprises a sole portion, a crown portion, and a stiffening element associated with at least one of the crown portion and the sole portion. The stiffening element has a survey length and at least one welded portion, comprising less than about 70% of the survey length. The stiffening element further comprises a plurality of welded portions. The welded portions adjacent each other are separated by a distance between about 10 mm and about 100 mm. A method of producing a golf club head comprises identifying a plurality of high-deflection regions having a plurality of ranges and providing a stiffening element, at least in part coupled with the plurality of high-deflection regions. The stiffening element comprises a plurality of heights and/or widths corresponding to the plurality of deflection ranges. At least one of the plurality of heights and/or widths is different from at least another of the plurality of heights and/or widths.
