20120073739 | ADVANCED UNIDIRECTIONAL MATERIAL COMPRESSION-MOLDED FACE COMPONENT - A method for manufacturing a face component of a golf club head from slit plies of unidirectional pre-preg material is disclosed herein. The slitting is preferably diagonally along the unidirectional pre-preg material. The slit plies are placed in a mold in an alternating manner and the plies are compressed to form the face component. The slitting allows the pre-preg material to move within the mold during the compressing step. | 03-29-2012 |
