Abstract: An article, such as a golf club head, comprising one or more of a polished region, a textured region, a painted region, and/or a coated region, which may be formed using one or more masking operations, texturing operations, painting operations, and mask removal operations. A liquid mask may be applied over a narrow region defined by opposing mask edges, enabling a strip of a metallic surface to be framed by painted, textured, and/or coated regions.

Abstract: An insert for a golf club head, wherein the insert includes a generally planar base surface and a maximum thickness, Tmax, measured perpendicular to the base surface. The insert further includes a first component comprising a non-metallic material, and a second component coupled to the first component and comprising a continuous, formed metal sheet having a thickness between 0.01 mm and 3.0 mm, the second component extending a maximum distance, D, in a direction perpendicular to the base surface, that is no less than 6 mm. The insert is configured such that a ratio D/Tmax is no less than 0.50.
