Abstract: Summary A golf club face member is made by a manufacturing process, such as 3D printing, for a complex topology that is sturdy with good CT. 3D printing creates a face in which struts, a lattice-like structure, a waffle-iron pattern, or interior voids provide great strength and low mass. A golf club head has a club head body defining a heel portion and a toe portion and a hosel extending upward from the heel portion when the club head is at address. A face member is disposed between the heel portion and the toe portion such that it faces forward when the club head is at address. At least portion of the face member comprises a 3D printed material such as a 3D printed or sintered metal.

Abstract: The invention provides golf clubs and methods of making golf clubs with machined perimeter faces. The club faces provide an accurate ball striking surface and improved aerodynamics. In particular, a surface is milled into the club face that expands over an edge of a ball striking surface and onto a portion of the face adjacent to at least one of a crown, a sole, a toe, or a heel. During a swing, the milled surface causes the boundary layer of airflow to separate at a point closer to the rear of the club head, resulting in reduced drag.
